Yes they did take some of the tucks out because the first day they had deductions from hands down but i am sure the girls' tumbling will get stronger as the year progresses..
And Cx sr level 4 did not compete due to a flyer on crutches n a couple others injured. The flyer sprained her ankle pretty bad the friday right before this comp.
Yea, we've had that happen in the past (injuries the day before), it's frustrating but what can you do? Hope to see you guys soon, your teams (CX) are always fun to watch. I thought they did great on Saturday.
Really enjoyed AP, hope to see them again too. Good job to California Spirit on your first comp, loved the dancing (sr level 3 team). Saw some really different routines over the weekend, different styles. It was a nice break from the standard boring stiff routines we're used to seeing. Nice mixture of dance and cheer, I thought.
DIdn't care for that venue at all. Hard to see, no food choices (hot dogs, nachos, ice cream.. did I miss something)? No videotaping allowed ... can't stand Mr. Video. $40 for the day would have been reasonable. Not $40 for parts of the day (the day being divided by three separate parts). If you only have a few teams spread out throughout the day, it would cost $120 to see all three. No thanks. Awards took too long, especially the morning awards. Only good thing about that comp was seeing some talented creative gyms; that made it all worthwhile.
Ok, this is off topic, but the food at that place SUCKED. Cold hot dogs and overprices sodas. 2 days of nachos was ok, but can we get some REAL food. LOL
That food did suck. And the food downstairs in the hilton stunk too. It was not that good and way too over priced. But hey competition food is never amazing in my book :(. They should like hire Inn and Out to do the food. Yummy ;)
Idont know the website but its on the front of americanchampionships.com, at the bottom right hand corner. It's called universal event photo. It might just be universaleventphoto.com... but I'm not sure!!! Try that if that doesn't work, google it!!! Hope this helps!!!
Oh yeah I forgot to add that. I looked and noticed the same thing. Give it until Friday but I think they can be posted up to three days after the event. But don't count on it. They always take such great pictures.
And thanks for the comment about our teams. We have a lot of work to do with each and every team and we starting today in the gym! We're so excited to see all of the teams out there this season... but we better get working if we wanna keep up! Haha. Thanks again that was very sweet of you :)
AP.... I HEARD YOU GUYS LOOKED GREAT! We can't wait to see all of you and your awesome routine. Good luck this season and keep on ROCK-N. Miss you all, Love Taylor Burke and Family :)
YAY.........I'm so excited to see all the great comments about my NEW favorite California team California Spirit Allstars!!! I'm so glad they did so well and way to WORK that dance girls!!! Big hugs and kisses bigrebel!!!!
California is the old US GYmsports. They looked the same with new uniforms and a bigger program. Keep working hard, looks like you are off to a greta start.
Actually California Spirit is a whole new gym. Us Gymsports closed and new owners took over the building. They do have the same coach Chris, who is awesome, but all new owners. Also the Gym has been completely redone inside. The place is huge. A couple girls joined who were with US Gymsports, but everyone else is new. Some came from other gyms, and some are new to cheer. When the gym my daughter was at closed we checked out other gyms in the area and found that this one was the perfect fit. She loves her it. I was so proud of our teams this last weekend. It was there first competition and they did great.
WOW!!! Ca Spirit i can't believe this is your first year out. Good job in san jose. First day was better but, it was like that for most teams except for maybe one. Loved the uniforms and routine (GREAT DANCE lvl 3 You girls had crazy energy the moves were to die for) LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!. Why were'nt the girls wearing their uniforms on the first day? When is your next competition? GOOD LUCK
