This is the best video I've seen in ages. Good ole fashioned cheerleading/dance. I love tumbling and acrobatics, but looser more fluid movement is more appealing to watch...but boy did pyramid formation take a lot longer back then. Thanks for the post.

I didn't know cheerleaders were this decent in 1980...haha. But it's crazy how much cheerleading has evolved. The stunts and tumbling are like 10 times harder these days

Thanks for sharing this gem!  People might laugh at the style from back then, but it still took real talent and athleticism to get those stunts up.

[hskbrowneyes]

thanks for posting!

it's so great to see cheerleading history and people who made possible to help this activity grow

[amyfpolk]

I'm sorry DriveAustra, I had to have the UK portion of the show professionally made into a "QT" file to upload to youtube. Someone from ISU could take their tape to a professional and have the same done...sorry!

[DriveAustra]

awh..., it would have been exciting to see the ISU routine and the awards presentation...

[DriveAustra]

amyfpolk ...will you post the championship Indiana State University routine. I heard they entered the floor using a cheerleader as a human jumping rope. I gotta see that!!!

[amyfpolk]
