Create Ripples when Cheerleading - PhotoHunt

PhotoHunt theme : Ripples

Oh my gosh!!*gulp*

Some time back, a friend who was the organiser of a charity event forced asked me to be a member of a (Aunties) cheerleading team.

An instructor was hired to train us. When we were first shown the moves, we were stunned and felt sorry for ourselves. We could end up with broken bones!

Luckily we were not asked to perform the difficult stunts. Ample measures were taken to prevent unnecessary injuries. *phew*

We learnt how to use waves and timing ripples when cheering. We created some ripples with our performance. :P

I watched this video clip on cheerleading tips. You may want to surprise your husband/ boyfriend with these moves. haha.....

Note : The above photos are not from our performance. I lost them. :(

    Wow! You have the experience to cheerlead? Don't worry we are never too old to perform some moves. Just make sure we take enough calcium. LOL :D

    Tekkaus,
    Just play play only.... :P
    It's just one of the items for a charity event.

    I won't recommend cheerleading for ladies over 40. :P

    boh tak cheh,
    I can't find the 2 photos that my friend gave me.

    I think for our group of matured ladies who performed cheerleading, we did very well. Bravo to the mamas!!

    wow. I can how great the performance is.

    I never go to Singapore though I live in Johor Bahru for 10 years.

    Now I live in Kuala Lumpur the capital of Malaysia.

    Hope one day I can go to Singapore and see the events and visit the places of interest there.

    Congrats for this great post.

    Ah, it's quite fun. I went for a few of the cheerleading contests that one of my brothers took part in, and some stunts are really challenging.

    That brother of mine is a certified cheerleading coach, so I was wondering if he was the one who had taught you.....but maybe not.

    whew, i thought you were the one in red skirt!:P

    i suppose these moves would take a lot of courage and flexibility. as for exercise, i'd prefer to run/brisk walk everyday.:P

    Ecl this is just wonderful!! I am so glad you are back.

    Tammy was a cheer leader and as the tiniest of the group and trained gymnast she was always the one on top of the pyramid.

    Oh wow it was amazing to watch. We were very proud, but, we held our breaths every time they tossed her.

    This is really a very demanding activity and requires great athletic ability.

    I don;t think they are ever truly appreciated as much as they should be.

    Oh thanks for the memories and the lovely photos!!

    Hugs,
    Jackie

    Wow! Cheerleader huh? If you hadn't say, I would have thought that's your photos. Well anyway, I'm sorry to say this but... the first photo looks so wrong. It looks like a standing 69. lol! Ooops.. Am I supposed to be discrete?

    That's what I was going to say---likely story!! I would never even try to be a cheerleader---well, not now that I have kids and they have ways of posting my photo on the Internet. Haha!! But good for you---it's athletic and fun to watch.
