Hip Hip Hooray!!! Go MJo19!!!! Woooo!!!! (insert sparkle fingers here) :D

I will leave out any and all stunts b/c there is a good chance I could injury myself....... :p

Unfortunately, I can only do a wobbly forward roll:p

Guess what! My cheerleader (hubby) just got to call me again!!! He was on the SAT phone, so he couldn't talk that long, but all I have to say is WOO HOO!

*insert major spirit fingers here*

I don't actually cheer... more of a soccer player.. but I'm great for the spirit!

And Yay scbelle, it's hard when your support is away :)

Ok, so..... any news? Anyone have any? I can't even keep track of all the crops anymore! :)

YAY Enthusiasm! lol What's a stag jump?

Now THIS is funny!!!!

Re: stag jump

Since I'm not a cheerleader, PLEASE do not take this as gospel truth, but I think it's where you tuck in your arms, crouch slightly, and bend your knees. Then you jump up and out, like you are trying to form an X. I only know it because a friend who was also a cheerleader tried to teach me in our dance class (way back when we were 8 yrs. old and still thought leg warmers were cool....)


Wait. I still wear leg warmers. Never mind....

ok, not to be a complete dork or anything, but the X jump described here is a "spread eagle". A stag jump starts the same, but in the air, the front thigh is parallel to the ground and the knee is bent so the calf is perpendicular to the floor. the back leg is straight, toe pointed, like a split. If you look at the jumper in the air, they look like a running deer, hence the name.

And that is definitely all you wanted to know about cheerleading, but didn't care enough to ask. :D

I am so glad someone else took that one because I didn't have the foggiest clue how to describe a stag jump.

We're all in a very "cheery" mood lately.

Thanks for clarifying for me! I will now fix my original cheer!:p

soooo? what happened?

Any news yet?

I think with all the recent chatter on the necessity of an AI forum, she may have decided not to post at all...

I haven't been on in a while so I'm not up to speed on what's going on. If you're out there MJo pm me!
