CNN following Maddie Gardner and her team Cheer Extreme Senior Elite as the prepare for the 2011 World Championships. - Zábava
Back when a ball up 360 was the hardest stunt on the market.
She bobbled on it at worlds 2011 costing them the title
I still think it’s a breathtaking skill but yeah... crazy how much innovation has been made since then
Ppl talkin bout “SeNIOr ElIte wAsNt PopUlArTILl ThE rYan MemE”
Me: MADDIE GARDENER
That statement just tells me how young they are 😂😂
maddie gardner, molly gibbons, gabie dinsbeer, erica englebert etc … what an era.
maddie is/was literally one of the best flyers in cheee history. her stunt really changed all star cheer, no other team has ever done it. maddie was very poised and technical when it came to flying. same with Gabie dinsbeer, Amber craft, Erica, Cea has breeder some amazing athletes. I don't understand why they get bashed
they get bashed because many of the coaches and athletes have done trashy things and the overall way the gym is run is pretty shitty. I give props to senior elite for the ball up 360 for its time. the stunt now has been done by level 4 teams and honestly it wouldn't score well for a level 5 team lol
+Kirsten E
Maddie has never been trashy. Maddie is graduating near or at the top of her J-School class at UNC and is getting job offers for June in broadcast. She never participated in social media while cheering all star, and has done everything the correct way. She represented Chasse at their request and has now finished that commitment. Look for her TV career to begin somewhere in NC, SC or Ga. There are trashy people in all organizations and careers. She is not one of them. She appreciates all the kind words from her fans and to all of you that gave her so much grief, yeah, you made her stronger. The producer of this piece told us that she originally was going to tell the story ofAll Star using 2 teams going to worlds but it was too much with so many athletes and their point of views in 12 minutes. So she chose Maddie to tell the world about All Star by having her represent the athlete's pov. So even here, all the criticism of it being about her is off base. It was always about telling the viewer about All Star through the eyes of one cheerleader. She had NO input or influence on how this was put together and edited. All CNN, and an effective literary and journalistic technique. Best wishes to you all.
+dn gardner I never said Maddie herself was trashy, just the program she went to.
Kirsten E they are trashy. They are rude to everyone but level 3+ teams at their gym.
@@imaginerecords5487 How?
This routine is so iconic
I remember first watching this 7 years ago when i was first wanting to get into cheer
I almost cried when her stunt didn't work out, but I was so happy that she got right back up, she is such a strong person, such a great role model to thousands of girls. I love her so much.
Without the spotter, there would have been NO chance of the stunt being saved 😮
i love how when maddie fell, she PUSHED to get back up in time for the rest of the stunt. THAT'S what makes her the best. the fact that even though her stunt fell, she fought to get it back up.
go maddie
When Maddie compared her injury to a football player playing in the super bowl my first thought was, no, he probably wouldn't play with that injury only a cheerleader would do that! Loved it! Great coverage on a misunderstood sport, yes, A SPORT!
Bases definitely don't get enough recognition. Absolutely no recognition for the people who got her up into those stunts. What a shame. It's always "Maddie's stunt". It's about teamwork, not one person.
Anakin Skywalker you are absolutely right
But also when a stunt falls its maddie fell not the bases dropped her
The way they re-covered from Maddie's fall is pure talent and shes amazing!!!! THEY SHOULD HAVE GOT GOLD !!!!!!!!!!
Whatever you think of Maddie, you can't deny that at 11:04 that was a remarkable save (by everyone in the stunt group). No flapping about, just throwing her right back into the stunt, with a smile from Maddie to boot!
She popped up tho so quickly. And she kept preforming!
It is a sport?! she said "as demanding as many sports" IT IS A SPORT .... love maddie
Maddie is so inspiring! She doesn't give up and she has poured her heart and sould into Cheer Extreme. Good for her. :)
it was such a pleasure to be able to meet maddie yesterday and have a interview with her for coming first at finals :) xxx
I'm so inspired!!! luv how she works so hard....and I would luv to have team mates like her
I can't help but tear up at this video! I've been in that situation and it's the absolute worst feeling in the world! No one who isn't an all-star cheerleader just can't comprehend how heartbreaking that moment when your stunt falling costs your team the gold is!
I cannot believe how young she is :) she's AMAZING
She is amazing and always will be! You rock Maddie!
This made me cry.
I feel like I'm gonna cry. They work so hard and yet a 3rd place title. It's not bad but as we all know "Don't settle for second best"
They fell. You have to hit at worlds to win unless the rest of your division has bad mistakes typically. Also, they won worlds the next year that worked out fine!
give me goose bumps & brought tears to my eyes!! GOOD LUCK CEA AT WORLDS 2012!!!! nail it!
They won Worlds 2012!!!!!
I Watch This Every Day, They Are My Inspiration
Maddie is my favorite cheerleader and by far my best inspiration. I want to meet her so badddd
Dear Maddie, you are a great cheerleader and a five star flyer! You are so awesome!
ooh :( i cried when she fell :'( good on them for getting it straight back up, at least her spike and double down was amazing, she is still the worlds greatest flyer i believe. anybody agree with me? :)
wow 4 AP classes and one of the best cheerleaders in the country, you go girl!!! :)
I just keep watching this is so intristing
i started almost crying when she cried
Every time I watch this I am so inspired to be the best I can be!
yeah, she nailed that ball up 360 tick tock.. everywhere except worlds...
I chilled wit her at Disney. She was really cool.
The fact she got back up and kept on the count was amazing and she shouldn't blame herself
Maddie is my idol!!
Maddie is like the sweetest girl ever I've met her a couple of times the CEA gym is like 5 minutes up the street
maddie is probably the most mature one on the team, so thats why she was the one interviewed.
i love maddie -3 this video made me cry !
goose bumps the whole time!
amazing
I am 10 and I started it with the Jr. Elites In the cheer extreme gym for all stars. It is super fun i am center flyer too!
How come she has to be so freaKING AMAZING? :) i LOVE maddie AND Senior Elite! :))
Maddie is my idol!
2012 WORLD CHAMPS!!!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Maddie calling worlds the Cheer olympics, and now 10 years later it’s actually going to be in the olympics 😂
Maddie ! ! ! ♡ ♡ ♡
Amazing
no it doesnt matter how old u start just how hard u work i started when i was 10 and love it u just have to but hard work into it
Yes We Did Win :)) And We Were VERY emotional.
they are my cheer idols
i am working on a back handsping
Things have continued to change so much.
I've been cheering since i was 4 now im 12 so thats and i just won nationals again 2 years in a row
Tat was soo amazing and 4 my gym 2 even gat 2 worlds is a gift!
i understand they're upset because they know they can do better, and not doing the best you know you can is always horribly frustrating. but 3rd place at WORLDS is nothing at all to be disappointed! that's an amazing feat! love these ladies
I love cheer because it is fun and I all ways cheer at home but I like to cheer at my gym
i love maddie
this girl is what you call a true role model she is amazing i could never even dream of doing cheer and keep my grades up all these girls are amazing!!! XD!!
she is my idol
THEYNDISNT GET IT IN 2011 but THEY GOT THE GOLD NOW CONGRATS CEA ,, AND WHAT A NICE WAY TO FINISH HER CAREER WITH A Worlds win
Wow maddie you beautiful and so talented. You also seem so nice. I loved this video. Great to see a cheer team on CNN of all place. You should be proud that you're a amazing cheerleader and more amazing POINT flyer. You're ball up 360 tic toc is amazing and you make it look so easy.
yep, i was in this. miss it :(
so excited to meet you in mrtyle beach (:
madie your awsome
If you look closely at the stunt when she does the tick tock up from the ball up her leg goes is on a slight diagonal so I think that's why the bases struggled to keep it up but she is still an amazing person :) I mean it just goes to show that this year they didn't have the ball up and got world champs :) love senior elite :)
I TOTALLY CRIED WHEN THAT DROPED STUNT HAPPENED EVEN THOUGH ALREADY KNEW I FEEL SOO BAD FOR MADDIE
i
Can we just all focus on how she got back up after that fall?! Like how is that possible?! She basically floated back up. I think it was a beautiful save and it's amazing to see how badly she wants the gold when she gets back up.
It shouldn't matter if you win having a trophy like that is pretty cool on my opinion.
and even though the segment was just about maddie.. I wish they would have interviewed her bases and asked them what it was like. That would have been great !
even though they didnt take the gold, SE was still on top this year to me.
Awesome ih ya senior elite
this is amazing!!! but i think they should have done more interviews with other team members.....but over all it was great and i enjoyed watching it! good luck sr.elite!:)
I 💙 U MADDIE GARDNER!!!!!
U R MY ROLE MODEL
I got to meet Maddie today
omg! ive been that gym!
Love !!! All star cheerleading is LEGIT! hopefully this cleared up cheerleading for all those haters ;)
I feel like if you aren't a flyer, you aren't a cheerlebrity. I think that that needs to change. I am a flyer, and I still this people need to give bases more credit. If there isn't bases, there can't be a flyer.
SHE EXTREME TO THE MAX
Wow that was great .. They should do more specials about the inside look of cheerleading! Maybe ca this time (:
@Ciara Johnston Preach.
How can people hate her?
Quit comparing dance to cheerleading. I do allstar cheerleading AND I'm principle dancer with a dance company. Both are hard in their own ways. While I can say that cheer is more athletic while dance is more artistic (with some athletic ability too), both are challenging and hard work to excel.
Back when they still didn't win gold there rivals are WCSS but now its F5 because F5 and them are like the bet now for wining gold because they have sick routines and very insane difficulty. World Cup is now getting sloppy but still WCSS is one of my favorite teams but CEA SE is still my no. 1
I think for all of the cheerleaders/cheer parents/coaches out there who watched this and are now critcizing this piece should be ashamed. When a very prominent news channel is doing a piece on this SPORT then why are we aruging over how much they focused on Maddie? They are trying to show the average viewer who knows nothing about cheerleading, only the negative stereotypes, that we do work hard and do deserve respect. They only had 15 minutes to inform people about what we do and it works...
YEAH
i so wanna do allstar cheer
(same team though Jr.Elites cheer extreme all stars)
i met her today in Chapel Hill, NC at the Sweetheart Classic!
I’m like omg I can’t believe what happend
@LaneyPooAllstar1992 agreed.
man i wish i had there coach! she is so intense
because its a sport like football or volleyball
@AlexDisaster17 From what Erica said on Twitter when they were supposed to do it and Maddie was going to do something different and harder. But when she got injured they decided not to do the new changes. I do hope to see them do it next season though.
fair enuff
I dont see whats so bad about 3rd at Worlds? I was shocked I even made it too worlds let alone the finals.. I just hope they understand that they are amazing and some of the most talented athletes in the world.
You Got It Back
omg they doing crazy stuff like but i still like it though they doing they thing they doing theything big
And they did take it back :)
I live in North Carolina !
