Don't play any sports in college, but in high school I was a cheerleader and did ALOT of gymnastics. We weren't just one of those pretty looking squads, we competed and were 2nd in our state( the first place team had twice as many girls as we did and could do more stunts that we could due to our numbers). Boy is competitive cheerleading dangerous, I got hurt so much[:@], broken tailbone (twice), sprains, pulled mucles in my back, bloody noses, swollen bruised knees and ankles(from jumps), and torn cartilege(sp) in both my knees.
