Wow this is awesome!!! Cheer sure has changed since the 80's.

80's cheer was a total production...very creative stunts and wall builds.

The upsidown baskets without back spots crazy man

Fabulous!!!

@tochiirokero I disagree. In the '80's they cared about spirit and stunts. Today they don't care about anything but winning.

Thanks for your contribution to the what made Cheerleading great in the Golden Age of Cheerleading.

Thank you for your words of encouragement. I have other videos that I still need to upload. I have put these online in the hope that cheerleading will remember its roots and reinvigorate the industry.

Yes, we knew exactly what this song was about!

It greatly encourages me that you and others enjoy these routines as much as I have.

Awhim25, I am grateful for your perspective. Your knowledge of the history of cheerleading needs to be preserved. Please feel free to write what ever you know so other cheer leaders may know their past!

my mom was a cheerleader for university of louisville

@SuperPrivatepenguin Tell your mother thank you for her part in setting a precedent in cheerleading that has never been achieved again.

@kay6jay It is amazing. I am glad that you enjoyed watching the videos. Please look at all the cheer videos that I have posted from the '80s.

Thanks Jannelli. It is cool.

God I love youtube

it is funny that they are cheering to this song I guess they never really listen to the lyrics of she bop and realized what it is talking about.

Did they win this year?

uhh ohh hand then a chair sit stretch some bad asses they where

It may be funny to you, but they took it seriously.

Its a long story, but ultimately it is about money. The people who gained the television broadcasts on ESPN and elsewhere found a cash cow in feminine hygiene commercials. But bad coaching caused catastrophic injuries and high dollar lawsuits. Therefore those leaders chose to eliminate skills instead of properly training the coaches, which the USAG has done for gymnastics.
