Cheerleading
Yes, you heard right, I'm a male cheerleader. You'd often finding me defying the social norms and when it comes to cheerleading, I crack the happy dancing little lisping boy stereotype. :o) Cheerleading is really an athletic sport and it takes more skill, strength, and trust than any other sport I've tried.

This is a pic of our team here at UCSD goofing off at Pacific Beach. The stunt is called a Liberty and I'm the second from the left. I look taller than I really am because I'm standing on a rock! :o)

And here we are pepped up before a home basketball game and smiling for the camera!

This stunt is called a basket toss - double twist. This is one of the most difficult ones to pull off as a team and it's a really good crowd pleaser!

This stunt is called a high torch. It's sort of like a liberty but the flyer (top person) is twisted sideways while keeping her torso facing forward. For info. on the nation's best cheerleading organization (UCA), clickhere.

Here's a shot of me with my partner Cheryl after a long game......I can't believe we were still smiling!

I don't usually fly myself but we were feeling goofy after a game so I thought "What the heck?"

This is a pic of me with another one of my partners, Lou. The stunt is called a chair, and yes, she is sitting on my hand!

Here are some gal pals from cheer showing off some leg and booty! The one with the long hair's Corina and the one pulling up her skirt's Melissa.

Here's me practicing with my friend Becky who's also an awesome tumbler! In the pic, I'm practicing to get ready for USA Nationals in May. We placed 17th in the nation, shocking us both since we didn't expect to finish in the top 20 at all!

Here's a pic from Spring Break. I was in front of Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas, and decided to throw a Russian Split jump.....too bad the photographer caught me on the way down cuz he was a little too late!

And this is my single pic on the cliffs of La Jolla....isn't it beautiful here? :o)
