Try evening.
Take a horse, that has it’s own will power and ways over 1000 lbs.
Take them over a 6ft jump and then tell me how not dangerous that is.
People say its not a sport… well i would like to see you do that. Riding is a skill not everyone can do it.

As a cave diver who has also performed wreck penetrations I can say conclusively that you are wrong

Hey. You should look into three day eventing and stadium horse jumping. They’re extremely dangerous sports

Alright *****, I’ve been doing cheerleading for 3 years and I know plenty of cheerleaders now. None of which do drugs or drink. Cheerleading so dangerous because we are lifting girls our size and bigger over our head and 30 feet in the air and praying to god that they stay tight. You’re probably some fat chick or guy that are ugly as hell and have no friends and you’re praying that you get a friend that’s as skilled as a cheerleader.

A rule in competitive cheer is that you are not allowed cheat in school, partake of beer products, consume drugs, take innaprpraite pictures, or harrass people whether its at school, at the gym, or in plain life. YOUR OFF THE TEA

Thought of pom-poms and chanting? That’s halarious… heres my team:

Competitive cheer is a proven sport since 2003 declared by ESPN and UCA staff. However, school cheerleading isn’t considered a sport since they have no rules and not all school teams condition. Competitive cheer is an organized sport, SCHOOL CHEER IS NOT.

By the way that may be so in school cheeleading— but competitive cheer we spend nearly 16-21 hours a week practicing and conditioning (all put together).

I’ve done level 9 gymnastics, then tried competive cheer.

HOLY CRAP cheer was by far harder! We conditioned for HOURS and you thought tumbling was hard..? Wait till you HAVE to tumble on exact time as ten other people and with shoes on.

Don’t get me wrong I love gymnastics, but cheers way harder. (not school cheer!)

Besides, falling off the beam one thing… but stunting? Whole other world my friend.

I have done horseback riding! I love it a lot… but seriously cheerleading WAY harder.

I think your thinking of “school” cheerleading… where yes, they do flail their arms around. But competitive cheerleading? That’s a whole other story bro..!!!

We train 14 hours a week, in which 4 of the hours are actuall strength and conditioning practice where we come in and work-out seperate from our routines.

Here’s my team that I love <3

Hey I’ve done competitive cheer since I was 5 too! I’m currently 14… doing double fulls. Its so frustrating when people say it isnt a sport! I get at least two injuries a practice and at least one MAJOR injury every month or two.

One boy at my school said cheer was stupid and I beat him and all his friends at arm-wrestles and sprinting. A day later they were like, “okay, just cause you can beat doesn’t prove anything.” so i brought a nine year old from our youth level 2 and she won an arm-wrestle against them! (after and outside school, not during)

Thank you for posting your comment I absolutly agree with you! What team are from?
