Thailand Secon Square 2008

Champions --- Bangkok University



1st runner up --- Vanquish



2nd runner up --- Swan




CR's analysis: The practice of crisis control is very important. Notice that Swan had a fall in during their opening pyramid but their mid-tier still climbed up the shoulder stand to be in time for the 221. Their bases and top flyer also trusted that she could make it in time and did not hesitate to complete the pyramid. This is very commendable.

Dismounts: Front tuck dismounts are a thing of the past. Notice that all 3 teams use front walk and cartwheel dismounts from pyramids. The visuals are fantastic.

Dance: The ever popular lindy hop is becoming very popular with cheerleading. If your bases cannot dance, make sure you incorporate this inside. It saves a lot of trouble and adds on to the visuals to your routine.

Top gun: running around with your hands grasped and upper body down is a Top Gun trademark. Makes your routine look very dynamic compared to the ''keeping your hands close to your body'' style.
