I see the title of the thread is Videos, and all levels are just as awesome as level 5. So it would be nice to show all teams from each gym instead of just 5. Most of these videos is our first comp. Shout out to all levels!!

Sapphires look awesome, it's a very 'pretty' clean routine. I've also decided I will now judge dances based on arm motions- because intricate arm work looking clean and together is much harder than shaking your butt for a couple 8 counts.
 
Here's a video of PT Nighthawks... If you can make out what's actually going on I'll be impressed...
 
this isnt directed at anyone in particular, but i find it really bothers me when people say "too many tucks/layouts in tumbling" for a level 5 team, for a few reasons. 1. you do not know about their program. maybe they have level 5 team and a restricted level 5 team. the restricted team wont have full team fulls because chances are if its a small program they dont have enough level 5 athletes to choose from. does that mean they shouldnt make team? no. 2. they may have some level 4 tumbling athletes, but does that mean that the team should be level 4, even though they have quite a few level 5 tumbling athletes? if they didnt have that team the level 5 athletes wouldnt be able to push themselves and compete in a division that they belong in. i just dont think its fair to say that they have "too many tucks/layouts to be a level 5 team" because its not your place to judge, and some people are just not naturally gifted in tumbling, but may be great level 5 stunters. sorry for the really long rant, i just think its really unfair, and i may be the only one thinking this but thats okay :)

possibly it should be stated that the team has to many tucks/layouts to be competitive? IMO you can compete any level you want (as long as its safe) but to be competitive in a level 5 you need level 5 tumbling...

why shouldnt the people throwing fulls be able to compete in the division they deserve to? this is a huge problem with small gyms, when you dont have enough athletes to choose from. if they have all level 5 stunts, but some layouts why shouldnt they be allowed to compete in level 5? i definitely agree with the safety though. ive seen many level 5 and 6 teams that i honestly thought someone was going to get seriously injured because the team as a whole was not ready for their level

Disagree. If you can't get even in the low range in tumbling, then yes, you shouldn't be ANY level because you won't be succesful. If you're ok with getting last place because you want your great stunters to be able to show of their skills, great and congrats on the warm fuzzy feeling, but you won't be successful and that's the goal of 90% of gyms.
