And is it real or shopped?
I can't remember who sent me the clip, and where I read it was shopped, but they positively showed that it was shopped.

Plus, the net could easily catch on feet or hands, making this sort of thing a career-ender for an actual cheerleader. Start the clock--how long until someone makes the news with an injury, trying to replicate this stunt?
