Forum Post - Why is Tumbling in Cheerleading?

Cheerdiva06 writes, "I've always wondered why there is so much of an emphasis on tumbling in cheerleading? To be honest with you I think it's point-less. Reason being is that I've cheered football, competition and basketball. When I was cheering in games a few girls would tumble and not one person from the crowd would pay attention to the girls. Even at pep-rallies, the same thing happens there too. When people are looking at you at those events are when you are performing a stunt."

"Where I'm going with this is that I want to take my cheer experience to the next level, the collegiate level. And the college I'm particularly looking at doesn't even compete but would like their applicants to have a back-handspring-tuck. I honestly think it's ridiculous."
