Maryland Marlins Rogue (this is their new Sm Sr 5 team)

Can someone please tell me what happened with Tsunami besides the injury? I missed the video.

They dropped stunts both days and their tumbling was very weak (IMO). They had several layouts thrown in standing tumbling and at least 1 that I noticed in running. Several incomplete doubles and scrunched up fulls. Lots of jumps to fake tucks.
They also have what looks like a new dance that has a bit too much booty popping, girls in preps purposely booty poppin. Overall the dance is cute but the end with all the booty poppin gives reason to the new rule that they came out with.
Pyramid from what I can remember is the same one that they have been doing and looked decent.
I think it is silly to pull videos the month before worlds (minus the day 1 video with the injury) but at the same time I can sort of see why they pulled it.

As for the Maison thing I don't think there is much to discuss. The gym took her off the team and made her an alternate so she joined a team that offered her a spot. If Marlins isn't going to use her talent then Twisters will. She seems super happy and isn't talking trash about the gym.

*I apologize if my post just sounds like I am a hater that isn't the case at all. I really want to like Tsu because I loved the routine last year, but it seems that they can't get the routine together.

I know Maison was struggling trying to find her place in Maryland after years in Cali, I hope she rocks it with Twisters!

Angels UCA day two

Royals UCA day two

Holy Commentary. Just kill me. I didn't realize it was a requirement to have 2 jump sequences...or that if you don't tumble as a group, it only counts for overall impression...What?

Anyone else crack up at the male announcers commentary? 'these are double full baskets...standing tumbling is when the cheerleaders start their passes from a standing position...' sorry Oa that y'all were the nations guinea pigs for cheer 101. Lol

Why can't the USASF ban useless commentary?

Scorp, arabesque, scale same difference LOL.....these announcers yikes

We just went to a Varsity Brand event and they had the same comments on our score sheets. Add an additional jump section and do more squad tumbling. This is after 4 jumps and a set of group tumbling.

Everyone always complains about the commentary but think of who Jeff Webb (basically the owner of cheerleading ) is talking to. This is for ESPN and if your not a cheerleader watching this, you have no clue what these skills are called or what brings a score up or down. If you were watching a game that you had no clue about you would want somebody explaining it to you as you watch.

It's not the bad commentary for me, it's about the made up rules that he's speaking about.
