At first I thought that the yelling and stuff was kinda not good. But the more I go to shows and think about what it must be like to be onstage and hear people yelling at and for you MUST BE A GREAT THING. To be standing on stage and hear people yelling when you hit a back double bi. So I know that I am going to have to bring a little or just one person cheering section with me so they can make some noise for me. B/C it will make me even more PUMPED and KILLER on stage.

So do the contestants like it when you cheer for them, or not?? I'm a pretty loud person, but I don't want to interrupt a competitors concentration. I just know that when X hits the stage, shit will hit the fan, cause I'm so damn proud of him!

Well......during the mandatories its cool to cheer them out loud and even when they are doing their routine with music (to an extent). But do you remember the girls who sat behind us last year who cheered for Briscoe from Conway? They were nothing but aggravating. All that screaming is a bunch of shit.....

During the mandatories you will hear a lot of us saying "stay tight" and "flex those quads" and various things out loud. That is OK in my book. Sometimes it helps the competitor to remember things while on stage where otherwise they may forget because of nerves or other things, especially when it is their first show.

Don't worry.........when the time comes you will see what is acceptable and what is just aggravating.. :)

Well, I know for damn sure with this being X's first show, he'll be nervous as hell, so I'm probably not going to say anything. You on the other hand need to yell at him and tell him those things while he's on stage. He won't get mad if you do it, but I might aggrivate him, lol! Yeah, I remember those girls last year, they yelled the entire time, especially when Briscoe came out. But Mr. Briscoe has some new competition this year!!!!

I say cheer for everyone. They deserve it, and I think they appreciate it.
