Tumbling

Well, as one of my previous blogs stated I am trying out for Memphis All-Girl cheer. So today me and this girl Lindsay who I cheered with on Germantown went to tumbling today. She cheers for Memphis All-Girl. I have to get back into this whole tumbling concept considering I haven’t really done a lot since February of last year after my senior year at nationals. So we got to the gym and of course stretched first so we can warm up our bodies. Then we just started doing the basic tumbling skills like back handsprings and back handspring backs and standing backs. We didn’t do any running tumbling today because I had to practice on my three and a back, in case no one knows what that is ..it is three toe touches in a row and then a back tuck. This is basically Memphis all girls trademark, they do it in the intro of the routine or in the middle. Anyways , we do all of our tumbling passes and the she told me some really really really great news! I am going to be so sore tomorrow! The try outs aren’t going to be until May 9, 10, and 11. I was so relieved because they are usually in April and I didn’t think I would be ready by then and didn’t think I would have enough time to go to enough tumbling practices. Stress was definitely lifted off of my shoulders. Well to end this whole non important blog, haha…the tryouts are open for anyone to come and watch! So, if you know anyone else trying out you are more than welcome to come!
