APPLAUSES & CHEERS
Trapper Trails

Pinewood Derby cheer –

Cubmaster yells, ‘Start your engines,”
Everyone places their car at the top of the ramp
(they raise their hands up in the air, fingers straight, palms down)

Then the cars go down the ramp
Everyone moves their hands in the shape of the track going “Whooooosh” all the way

It all ends as the car hits the bumper at the end
Everyone gives one big, loud clap

Harley Cheer -
Get on your motorcycle,
Kick start a couple of times saying, Vroom Vroom
Then give it the GAS and drive away.

Pop A Wheelie Cheer -
Pop wheelie leaning way back and saying, “EERRRRTTT!”

Jed and Ted

Jed and Ted decided to explore the countryside on a two-seater bike. They came to a hill. The going was hard. At last they got to the top.  With short breath and a perspiring face, Jed said, "That was a tough hill, but we finally made it!" "Yes," said Ted. "Luckily, I had my hand on the brake. Otherwise, we would have rolled all the way down!"
