I interviewed the team a week after this. I will post the link here for you. If you cheer long enough, this day will happen to you. They explain in the video how they pulled this off. It's a great learning tool. Enjoy!! ruclips.net/video/RHDZ_vrpqp4/видео.html
not only did the crowd count but then some if them broke off to cheer 'hit, hit' when they did the jumps like they usually do at competitions. isnt it amazing what a positive crowd can do? congrats to them on hitting!
a few years ago at a comp, a gym from Mexico was performing. I was sitting next to the director, counting in Spanish 1-3-5-7, supporting the team as at the time, other gym parents were not. The director asked me why count outloud I said, it helps the athletes and then he said he thought it was nice that a parent . from another gym was supporting his gym. I told him ,that is what the sport is about, supporting each other. Sometimes, I think some gyms and/or parents forget that while you want your team/gym to win, when athletes perform, no matter where they are from, to support them because it is hard work!
another story last year: at a competition, a gym from I think Alabama? I can't remember.. was there.. the coaches were not there... to watch the athletes and the parents, only 3 showed up ( I think they drove the kids). I got my kids team to go in the team parent waiting area to support them. I told them they were amazing and did a great job and wish them luck after they performed. One gave me a hug and said that was so nice to be supported from another gym. That is what the sport is about, supporting each other.. and not giving up on the sport you love.
@@sneandilemakhathini3511 It's just kind of like, a chant to pump them up and tell them to really punch their movements and make sure they "hit" each motion :)
What's truly awesome is that the crowd kept time, it's really hard for a mass group to keep to the same beat, because they can't hear each other, and they tend to speed up as they get excited. This was an epic job from the entire room.
It's because they are all champion cheerleaders and naturally caught the beat. The count is the same with all teams. Also, the performing squad was doing it in the first place.
Did anyone else get chills from this or was it just me? This is what cheerleading is supposed to be about! It doesn't matter if you are competing against each other. At the end of the day, all of those guys and girls are competing for the same reason, because cheering is their life. At the end of the day, we are all a family in the world of cheer and its all about supporting the other teams.
I didn't even noticed when the music was cut off. The next thing I heard is that the crowd was counting and cheering. They still slayed this performance!!!!
@@paulinepeppler8248 Men get emotional at sports all the time. What do you think the yelling, screaming, and booing is? I've also seen guys cry at and because of sporting events. I've also seen them riot at and because of sporting events. One guy even shot my windshield with his bb gun while I turned onto my street to go home. He was very angry the university lost an important football game and had too many beers to control it. People have emotions about athletic events. Perhaps you should get a grip.
AND THIS IS WHY WE KNOW OUR COUNTS!! My old coach wouldn’t even let us practice with the music until we could do it full speed with mental counts only. Like, she’d do the first 2 8-counts and then we’d have to go in silence. She was brutal, but we never took less than 3rd in any of our competitions. We were super rural though.
this was the most badass moment of nca 2016 this was the most badass moment of nca 2016 this was the most badass moment of nca 2016 this was the most badass moment of nca 2016
Yea every cheer team makes sure to practice without music so they know the counts and after that they do it with music or at least that’s what my team does.
@@masterkaylarommann It reminds me of when I was in cross country in high school. I was not that good. But the unspoken rule was you did not leave until the last runner came off the course. I had just as many people cheering for me to cross the finish line as the winners. In fact, I probably had more because the guys who finished would all be there cheering on the rest of the runners.
Every once in a while my coach cut off our music in the middle of our routine while we were practicing to see if we would keep going. Glad we never had our music stop at a competition.
Actually they aren't I would know because I've seen people get yelled at every time for counting because the cheerleaders are suppose to be counting in there head and if someone is off count it can throw them off and it can mess up the entire routine.
Hannah R. The Cheer Team were so focused and adrenaline filled at that moment when the music died I doubt whether many of them had noticed it was not playing. I was so enthralled at their routine it took me a while to notice the music had even stopped. I know this was from 4 years ago plus but it was good to see the other Cheer Teams counting them. In competition everyone is a rival, but all equal rivals till the result is counted. No Bitchiness from other teams. In the words of the Three Musketeers "All for one and one for all". well done again. It's something that should be Garnered in the future and shown to other teams. Your kits may be different in design and colour but at the end of the day you are all equal.
For all you saying that they only won because there music cut out........ I was at a cheer Comp today and a teams music cut out. They didn't win. But they were good, not a stunt or person fell. It matters how good you did.
I remember this competition... our gym team also had music cut out, and replayed... to start again, we didn't rank that year. I was glad to see the athletes with a smile on their faces because they nailed it. In my eyes, everyone are winners, no matter what gym/team you are from.
As a Former NCA All-American, these are SPIRIT tears! They rocked that! The energy, support, passion, PERFECT COUNTS!! Aaaaaaghhh! Coach, no demerits...Only Merits!
+Chaznie N. R. Thomas you don't learn the dance then add the music in all cheerleading, I used to be in cheerleading and we always knew our music then our routine with counts and music then with just music
+Chaznie N. R. Thomas I know that but it is still pretty amazing that they continued, because the music stopped in the middle of the stunt, so some of them could have dropped a stunt, but they kept going like nothing happened and that is what I find amazing
I can totally relate to this. I’m a dancer, and I remember when I competed my first ever solo for the first time. My music stopped halfway through, and somehow I kept going. (Did I mention I also had a fever? 😂) I remember my heart practically stopping for half a second, but I just told myself “KEEP GOING” and my body did as I wanted it to. Great job girls!
Kendal Marie During competition? Sweetie I've been in competitive cheer for 10 years and I've had judges tell me as a flyer to not move my lips by counting
I was getting emotional and I think it’s because of how dedicated the other teams were to the team who’s music skipped. It’s such a competitive sport but there’s also sooo much togetherness at the same time. Wow.
True professionals! They preformed flawlessly under pressure- my music cutting off was one of my biggest fears on the mat and I probably would've freaked out if it happened! Amazing job from theses ladies!
Amazing professionalism from the girls and great sportsmanship from the crowd this makes me proud to be a cheerleader! Great job Cheer Extreme Cougars!
I’m impressed by these young ladies and by the other teams that were giving them their counts. What terrific sportsmanship! Way to nail that routine ladies!
That's got to be one of the most beautiful moments in the history of sports. I'd never expect a crowd to come together like that to help another team. You could literally feel them willing the Cougars to be able to finish.
Next year all the teams are gonna "accidentally cut off their music" but that was amazing, just wowwww. They sent chills down my spine. Especially the end.
Keara Bradberry teams music cut off all the time BEFORE this and it was never awesome or epic because it makes doing the routine easier because we get taught it w/ counts not music.
awh oml I cried so hard at the end. Like everyone was supporting them and counting with them and they were all so supportive. Only cheerleaders will understand the level of commitment and dedication it takes to get this far and it truly is heartbreaking when the music cuts out, but when everyone has your back it's like it never happened.
There are a lot of other groups that have the same level of commitment and dedication, so to say that ONLY cheerleaders understand that level is a bit off. You might say that most people don't understand that it TAKES that level of commitment and dedication, but the way it was worded is wrong and disrespectful of other athletes and people who dedicate their lives to something.
I re-watch this video when I want a guaranteed smile on my face! I know from watching their videos that Cheer Extreme is always a crowd favorite, but for every team to yell the count to help their competitor is such true sportsmanship. At 2:55, I love the girl in the middle group with her sassy face, and also the girl holding her right leg, how she's smiling at the girl across from her.
I just got SUPER chills! These girls are badass! That wasn't just a few seconds of a routine. It was pretty much the ENTIRE routine! Good for them!💪🏽That was awesome!!!
because what they did was nothing short of amazing! to keep that many people synchronized is near impossible. when you are working with something as intricate and difficult as competitive cheerleading, timing is crucial. one minor mistake could mean serious injury or death. ♡♡♡
Because In cheer it takes too long to count that and most stunts hit on 3, most dip on 1/7 and 5 is in between and 1 3 5 and 7 are all major jump counts
Im so proud of them! they kept going and didn't even miss a beat when the music went off. I don't even know them and this is the first time im watching cheerleading videos but my heart is filled with pride and I feel like crying, because I'm so happy for them!! 😂😂😂😭😭😂😂😀😊😀
I must admit that I have watched this video countless times. I'm not a former cheerleader or anything, just a lay person who enjoys watching all sorts of cheerleading / dance championships. Thanks to ESPN2 that would air these types of championships on American Thanksgiving when I was in high school and University in lieu of me having to watch a football game! This one is always a favourite to watch that I periodically return to from time to time. I, honestly, didn't even know that cheerleaders learned their routines with this counting method (sans music) until after watching this video. It was an amazing performance and an incredible showing of sportsmanship from the rest of the cheerleading community to shout out the counting when the music stopped. It's one of those rare videos that if you are having "one of those days" where you need some inspiration that "Yes, you can do this!" - this true event can remind you that even when faced with adversity you can achieve greatness.
I've watched this before but I keep watching it because I get chills. I'm way past my cheer squad days but people don't understand the precision, the commitment, required for cheer. You push yourself. It's a long way from the days of rewinding cheer competitions at sleepovers to find mistakes, see what was good. Cheer is a hard and competitive sport. I'm happy that people can witness how hard this team worked.
Chills.. the whole time.. a regular person sometimes wouldn't really appreciate the beauty of this.. but as a cheerleader.. lemme tell you.. this is what it's about
Kyilese Xoxo fr no offense I think this is cool and all but there kinda over exaggerating cause I always go to competitions and this happens alll the time so it's not very surprising 😂
same!! i used to be a cheerleader when i was younger, and i’m currently a dancer, and i love dance, but i wish i could go back to cheering too honestly
Me too Anastasia. I get so emotional because it's wonderful to see how passionate these ladies are! I was a cheerleader back in the 90s when tumbling and dance started to rule state competitions. Great memories. 😊
Look!! Black & white girls WORKING TOGETHER!!! TRUSTING EACH OTHER!!!! ALL soooooooo talented!!! We are ALL God's children!! THEY DID AN AMAZING JOB & ARE AN INSPIRATION TO YOUNG GIRLS!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I'm not even a cheerleader and this amazing display of sportsmanship by the other cheer teams that helped them stay on beat (?) was just hella touching and I almost teared up:") this is just simply spectacular!1!!1!!!
Wow! That crowd did not miss a beat before chanting the timing back so the team could stay on it! Those girls had the right training and experience to pull this off. Every team and squad can take something from this. Congratulations on a well deserved win!

Cheer Extreme xxx
It happened to me but we got 5th
Cheer Extreme that happened to me once but we kept on going and came in 1st
It's happened to me twice 😂😂😂
Marissa Lewis but you kept on going right
not only did the crowd count but then some if them broke off to cheer 'hit, hit' when they did the jumps like they usually do at competitions. isnt it amazing what a positive crowd can do? congrats to them on hitting!

YESSS! I teared up when I heard 'hit, hit!' on their jumps
@@daniellew.9957 I know nothing about cheering...what does the HIT HIT mean? I see the counting helps with timing

Where do you gather this information lmfao
I loved how, in jumps, one group was yelling hit-hit-hit-pull while the rest continued counting. Awesome crowd support
It's actually the crowd
uuuupppssie they always do that! Cheerleading has the best supporters! :)
trinitee spray yes it's amazing
Yes I loved that

I got goosebumps
I literally choked up! The whole area was screaming count!
Crying 😭
Definitely got chills! Best routine I've seen ❤️🥰
I did!
LADIES KNEW THIER COUNTS THOUGH!
Something I never know 😅 (Dancer)
You have to if you want to get it right
It’s 1,2,3. Suuuuper difficult
Wl put together. These girls deserve respect. This took a lot of hours perfecting and it shows
@@TheHeathers87 its not like that, u have to know the right timing and its 1 3 5 7 8 ;) so yes it is difficult
I didn't even noticed when the music was cut off. The next thing I heard is that the crowd was counting and cheering. They still slayed this performance!!!!
That shows the community and sportsmanship...
Retired cheerleader here. I'm crying. This was so moving. Great job ladies. You did the damn thing.
I wonder if the guys cry at sport events like football too! Get a grip.
@@paulinepeppler8248 lmao alright Pauline. Who hurt you?

Scrolling through the comments … glad I’m not the only one that cried!
that was perfect, so phenomenal. the build up towards the end combined with the raw energy and the crowd's support- simply iconic.

They probably won BECAUSE they were able to perform without music. That shows how good they are.
🤔
Yea every cheer team makes sure to practice without music so they know the counts and after that they do it with music or at least that’s what my team does.
Well they surely didn’t win because of this God Awful routine.
That routine was amazing. They likely would have won anyway.
At least there's some good in the world like the other teams where even helping them out and they where Channing the numbers
That's what's supposed to happen, you cheer the other team on. #itsacheerthing
That's what separates some sports from others. Cheer is about spirit

I don’t know why I’m here but that was the coolest damn thing I’ve seen in a while and I ain’t mad at the recommended.
FACTS😭
one of the best performances and incidents of sportsmanship in all star cheer history hands down
Don't know why this made me cry! Most inspirational thing I've seen in a long time, it's amazing what we can accomplish when we all work together.
did anybody else notice that the 'Three' was louder than all the other counts
Yea
It's the same in my cheer group too
Yep
Kyrah Anderson that becuase that's when they hit stuff
hgx
CHEER IS A SPORT, GET THAT IN UR HEAD PEOPLE
I absolutely understand that. Cheerleaders are awesome because I would have lost count several times lol great job though.
Very athletic ladies.
It's a dumb sport that creates gold diggers in the end
Ok incel
So is CHESS, at least for over a 100 countries.
They started going hard once they realized that music wasn't coming back on! Great F'n job ladies
Just goes to show how much practice they had put in...they were not going to let a technical mishap ruin their hard work. Congratulations!
can i just
this was badass okay?
and true sportsman ship, the other teams chanting on the 8 counts.
No this counting is better
I legit teared up when the crowd started counting, this is why I love this sport!!!
I'm not crying! You're Crying!
oh thanks, for a moment i thought it was a bad thing :)
How did you know..?!
They are so so good
I'm glad I'm not alone. Lol I'm like, why am I tearing up?!
Totally cried
Every once in a while my coach cut off our music in the middle of our routine while we were practicing to see if we would keep going. Glad we never had our music stop at a competition.
They kept going after the music ended! PERFECT!
And the other cheerleaders are the stars here....to keep the current girls on count.
Stef Chanel they arnt suppost to count when music stops.
yes they are
Actually they aren't I would know because I've seen people get yelled at every time for counting because the cheerleaders are suppose to be counting in there head and if someone is off count it can throw them off and it can mess up the entire routine.
MCG - exactly
I know nothing about cheer competitions but I am an athlete. That was the shit to watch them stay disciplined and composed throughout
Who needs music for the dance when you've got a crowd like that!?
This happened to me and my team at the D2 summit last year.. I just love how EVERYONE even other teams come together to help us❤️ it's so inspiring
They didnt even flinch when the music cuts off this is my biggest fear as a coach

It’s the onion-cutting ninjas again!
Glad I’m not the only one!!
I’m a guy and I started crying 😭😭 this was just beautiful
I got really emotional watching this haha. They worked hard, worked together and they absolutely killed it.
Same here!!!
Brahvok i thought it was wierd i felt so happy n successful afterwards like i overcame a struggle myself lmao 😂 powerful
Anybody else see that guy hanging over the balcony @ 3:32? That in itself is crazy. How did he not fall?
TOOO EMOTIONAL 😭 It was so sweet of the other teams to count the beats for them so they dont get lost. Now THATS sportsmanship ❤️ 💗💕
Love watching these. Just reminds me of that feeling of being a cheerleader at competitions. Highlight of jr high.
I love how near the end of the routine they are just wild with energy, like "we made it and rocked it! hell yeah!"
As a Former NCA All-American, these are SPIRIT tears! They rocked that! The energy, support, passion, PERFECT COUNTS!! Aaaaaaghhh! Coach, no demerits...Only Merits!
Wow... Amazing, they really deserve that win, keep doing the routine without music must have been hard, but they were flawless!
No in cheer u learn the dance without music then you add music
+Chaznie N. R. Thomas you don't learn the dance then add the music in all cheerleading, I used to be in cheerleading and we always knew our music then our routine with counts and music then with just music
+Jazzmin Kelly no... In Allstar cheer you have a choreography practice without the music and get the music later
+Jazzmin Kelly oh R's was the other way around but everyone is taught a different way but it all looks great
+Chaznie N. R. Thomas I know that but it is still pretty amazing that they continued, because the music stopped in the middle of the stunt, so some of them could have dropped a stunt, but they kept going like nothing happened and that is what I find amazing

Way to be professional!!!!😍❤️
+xtremelykara Some of the girls performing were counting out loud. Doesn't look THAT professional to me
+Gloria Heim lmao actually that's being professional. the music guided them so now they were counting. actually the audience was counting too.
Gloria Heim i've been competitive cheer for 4 years. and your supposed to count out load to keep yourself on track.
Kendal Marie During competition? Sweetie I've been in competitive cheer for 10 years and I've had judges tell me as a flyer to not move my lips by counting
Gloria Heim "as a flyer"
Music was still in their head after 10, 000 tries of practice.
Oh goshhh this just shows the strength the cheer community really has to help each other
I was getting emotional and I think it’s because of how dedicated the other teams were to the team who’s music skipped. It’s such a competitive sport but there’s also sooo much togetherness at the same time. Wow.
I saw my first ever cheer competition live in 2015 and I was BLOWN AWAY by the athleticism. What an incredible sport!
True professionals! They preformed flawlessly under pressure- my music cutting off was one of my biggest fears on the mat and I probably would've freaked out if it happened! Amazing job from theses ladies!
I flipping love how they still had attitude and personality ugh I love this
Amazing professionalism from the girls and great sportsmanship from the crowd this makes me proud to be a cheerleader! Great job Cheer Extreme Cougars!
Amazing recovery- checking each other for positions, timing, and consistency. Darn good work.
WAY TO PULL THROUGH LADIES!!!
Every cheer coach should sit their kids down and have them watch this. This is remarkable!
Yess they should!!!
I cried the entire time after the music went off 😭! They are inspiring! True performers ❤️
I have no idea why I am crying so hard!
it's the energy!
If I was they coach I'd cry no cap
Yeah. It made me.emotional
Because the frowd was supporting these girls.
Because we’re all on our periods 😭
I’m impressed by these young ladies and by the other teams that were giving them their counts. What terrific sportsmanship! Way to nail that routine ladies!
Way to go!,.. everyone including the audience pulled through for these girls and THAT'S how you do it!!!!
That's got to be one of the most beautiful moments in the history of sports. I'd never expect a crowd to come together like that to help another team. You could literally feel them willing the Cougars to be able to finish.
Next year all the teams are gonna "accidentally cut off their music" but that was amazing, just wowwww. They sent chills down my spine. Especially the end.
Keara Bradberry teams music cut off all the time BEFORE this and it was never awesome or epic because it makes doing the routine easier because we get taught it w/ counts not music.
Who gives a negative rating on this beautiful video? Losers too afraid to leave mom's basement! This was brilliant! Kudos to the girls!
What great cheer parents to start counting for their girls, and to have the audience pick it up, that shows how much respect is in this sport
Why does this make me cry? Well done, ladies! Oh, hats off to that crowd!! That was simply beautiful to watch.

this is one of my favorite routines of all time. truly an amazing squad and an amazing moment for them. plus their stunts hit every time
That was true teamwork and sportsmanship right there. :'))
I'm watching "Cheer" on Netflix and I remembered this video. It's still the most impressive thing I've ever seen a crowd do during a performance!
That's what this sport is about
That squad is amazing. Their school must have a few thousand students to have that many girls with such skills. Still, they worked hard, good job.
This just gave me goosebumps!!! Just shows how much everyone supports each other!! Amazing
I just got SUPER chills! These girls are badass! That wasn't just a few seconds of a routine. It was pretty much the ENTIRE routine! Good for them!💪🏽That was awesome!!!
That was incredible! Those girls NAILED it! I loved the audience chanting to help them keep the beat. Awesome job!
Hi from cheer athletics! You guys did great at the first competition this year! Gl for future comps! I hope we compete again!
had no idea what they were chanting. then I realized... 1 3 5 7 got chills
why chills?
because what they did was nothing short of amazing! to keep that many people synchronized is near impossible. when you are working with something as intricate and difficult as competitive cheerleading, timing is crucial. one minor mistake could mean serious injury or death. ♡♡♡
taekwondomartialart1 oooh, okay xD thanks for explaining that :)
Why is the count 1 3 5 7? In dance its usually 4 6 8 counts....just wondering!
Because In cheer it takes too long to count that and most stunts hit on 3, most dip on 1/7 and 5 is in between and 1 3 5 and 7 are all major jump counts
Who needs music when you have talent like this. I could watch this all day. Never stop this sport USA, brilliant for your kids.
Im so proud of them! they kept going and didn't even miss a beat when the music went off. I don't even know them and this is the first time im watching cheerleading videos but my heart is filled with pride and I feel like crying, because I'm so happy for them!! 😂😂😂😭😭😂😂😀😊😀
Sanashine Bateman lol i was wondering, do i like this because i was a cheerleader, or do others also appreciate?
I must admit that I have watched this video countless times. I'm not a former cheerleader or anything, just a lay person who enjoys watching all sorts of cheerleading / dance championships. Thanks to ESPN2 that would air these types of championships on American Thanksgiving when I was in high school and University in lieu of me having to watch a football game!
This one is always a favourite to watch that I periodically return to from time to time. I, honestly, didn't even know that cheerleaders learned their routines with this counting method (sans music) until after watching this video.
It was an amazing performance and an incredible showing of sportsmanship from the rest of the cheerleading community to shout out the counting when the music stopped. It's one of those rare videos that if you are having "one of those days" where you need some inspiration that "Yes, you can do this!" - this true event can remind you that even when faced with adversity you can achieve greatness.
I love how at the end of the dance the girl in front off set of center on the right brushes her shoulder like " It was nothing". You go girl!!!
I've watched this before but I keep watching it because I get chills. I'm way past my cheer squad days but people don't understand the precision, the commitment, required for cheer. You push yourself. It's a long way from the days of rewinding cheer competitions at sleepovers to find mistakes, see what was good. Cheer is a hard and competitive sport. I'm happy that people can witness how hard this team worked.
This almost had me in tears... just WOW
Chills.. the whole time.. a regular person sometimes wouldn't really appreciate the beauty of this.. but as a cheerleader.. lemme tell you.. this is what it's about
Kyilese Xoxo fr no offense I think this is cool and all but there kinda over exaggerating cause I always go to competitions and this happens alll the time so it's not very surprising 😂
I'm crying I miss cheering so much
Me too!!
same!! i used to be a cheerleader when i was younger, and i’m currently a dancer, and i love dance, but i wish i could go back to cheering too honestly
Me too Anastasia. I get so emotional because it's wonderful to see how passionate these ladies are! I was a cheerleader back in the 90s when tumbling and dance started to rule state competitions. Great memories. 😊
I cried so badly while watching this performance! This sportsmanship! I don´t know what to say!
Favorite part was definitely the other teams keeping count and helping the team out ♡ the team totally nailed it!!
My granddaughter was a flyer. That's a awesome accomplishment to keep control when the music goes out. They did awesome.
This should be called the 1357 performance. Amazing!
WOW..... That's what PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE delivers. Kudos to the Coaches. Double Kudos to the girls. BRAVO !!!!
Cheerleading is now considered a Olympic sport
It's about time💖
I come back to this video every time I'm having a bad day or moment. It's one of the most inspiring things I have ever watched.
Ugh. I'm crying too!!!
Look!! Black & white girls WORKING TOGETHER!!! TRUSTING EACH OTHER!!!! ALL soooooooo talented!!!
We are ALL God's children!!
THEY DID AN AMAZING JOB & ARE AN INSPIRATION TO YOUNG GIRLS!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
The crowds support is amazing, these girls really deserved this win! Wish I could remember counts that well!😍💦
I'm not even a cheerleader and this amazing display of sportsmanship by the other cheer teams that helped them stay on beat (?) was just hella touching and I almost teared up:") this is just simply spectacular!1!!1!!!
The most iconic NCA routine of all time!
Wow! That crowd did not miss a beat before chanting the timing back so the team could stay on it! Those girls had the right training and experience to pull this off. Every team and squad can take something from this. Congratulations on a well deserved win!
