Ultimate shoulder rides

ggiamesi,

I would like to say a couple things..

I am much kinder now in the way I say things..I have to be understanding..

Ok,all the photos that you put up today are repeats..The reason is,I put these photos up earlier this year and later last year..

We as members have to realize that if they are older photos in webshots,we have probably seen them...

You are not the only one ggiamesi..Over the last week,we have seen other members put up photos which are not repeated once,but 2 and 3 times we have seen the very same photos in this group..

With some members,they may be new members,and did not see those photos before...however,some members are here since day one,and still they keep on putting older repated photos..

To change the subject..If you recall,Scotty came back and put up photos..He did this two times over a period of a couple days...He put up hundreds and hundreds of photos..99 % of his photos we never saw before..The reason I feel why Scotty left this group this time is that he was probably saying to himself,why would he make the effort(the way I do )and always try and put up photos never seen before,yet other members just find any old photos which we have seen a few times ,and put it again in this group..This my friends I feel why Scotty left this group the second time..

Do not worry though,I will never leave this group and promise to always make an effort and show you new pics:)..

The sad part is,when I will show you my pics,someone else will show these pics a few months later not remembering that these are my pics that I showed..

Louie was the first person to leave because of repeated pics,Scotty then left..However as I said,I will not leave and you will always have me here as a dedicated member...that is all for now ..

Ggiamesi,

thank you for your work - you did a really nice job! It is true that some, maybe even most of those pics have been uploaded to this group sometime in the past, some of the pics seemed to be fresh though. It was a good idea to bring peoples attention to a search under the surface by looking through all the albums of cheerleaders when you have found a sr pic by a traditional search term already. Secondly it is different to see one or two pics at once in comparison of seeing all of the pics of different situations and dates together in a set because it almost tells a story about the portrayed persons. You can really guess that shoulder riding is a part of those cheerleaders every day life, not just while training or the performances. This makes me believe that there are more girls such as Liz who have a lot of fun by riding on shoulders and might even get a kick out of it.

Vaggelli, we are friends since the first hour so to speak. That of course doesn't mean that we wouldn't be able to have different point of views once in a while. I truly admire you for your dedication which is among the greatest in this community without doubt. Your pictures are always a pleasure and I know how much effort you are putting into finding and sharing always new pics. But I couldn't remember a single member including the both of us who never put up a so called picture repeat. I can really only try to ask you to be a little more patient in this matter. If you realize images that you have seen before, maybe even posted yourself try to ignore it. See it this way: there are always more important things in life than seeing an old sr pic again. Some people are too new to know them, others simply forgot or missed them. When I was a co-admin in this group I used to delete all of those pics that have been put up again and again anyway. But believe me this was not the reason for me to leave the group, I am only taking a break, that's all. I can't speak for Scotty but as far as I know him he is very busy all the times. And that's also the reason for me to be only a part time member now because there is more to be done these days than it usually was.
Another thing is that you deserve to get the credit for finding new pictures but if you are the first to put up a fresh pic from webshots or flickr or whatever source it comes from that doesn't make you the owner of that pic. For my comprehension you can only speak of "my pics" when you took the pictures with your own camera and then uploaded them.
Concerning Ggiamesis uploads try to see it from the aspect he mentioned.
My friend, I am honestly asking you for your understanding. I am looking forward to see more of your pics Vaggelli!

Best wishes,

Louie

Hi Vagelli - I am still around also - and as Louie correctly observed, still finding things fairly busy at the moment. I check in here regularly, but don't post too much at the moment. Greetings to you both anyway. Hope all is well with everyone in here. I am not sure when I will get a chance to put up more new pictures (I have many hundreds still waiting to be posted) but I am hoping it will be soon. I try to spend much time searching for new pictures in the time I have available for looking, and this group will be the benefactor in the long term. I do try to put up pictures no-one will have seen before - but of course there will always be repeats and they cannot be avoided. Just stay patient everyone. What is great is that Summer is just beginning today in the USA which is marked by their Memorial Day Public Holiday -it also marks the start of chicken fight season in the pool. Heaps of shoulder rides start happening about now. This is when all our favourite websites really start to get busy. Let's make the most of it - in fact, it is Summer everywhere in the world except where I live (Winter is just starting to kick in here in Australia - and it gets cold where I am) so make the most of it!! When searching for new pictures, keep in mind you are not going to find too much just sticking to simple search terms like Chicken Fight and Shoulders - you have to use very general terms like "Summer" and "Pool" and then wade through thousands of pictures to find those elusive shoulder rides. Believe me though, it can be worth all the effort when you find some good ones.

So enjoy Summer everyone and hope you are involved in plenty of great shoulder riding action. Keep up the good work Vaggelli, and great to hear from you again Louie - take care both of you, and that goes for everyone in her. I will be back very soon.

Regards

Scotty dl
