I was at the XtremeSpirit Kalahari competition this weekend. I was very excited to see Top Gun performing even though it meant the gym my children belonged to wouldn't end up with a paid bid to Worlds. Top Gun's day 1 performance was NOT what I was expecting. I have seen Top Gun perform at Jamfest and Worlds as well as on YouTube and always find myself impressed. On day 1, they had several falls, bobbles, and a couple of tumbling touchdowns. How their performance resulted in a score of 191.71 is questionable.
In addition, a parent from our gym wanted to buy the day 1 video to view Top Gun's performance and was told that they were no longer selling the DVD due to a "discrepancy". This doesn't make sense to me. I wish I had recorded the day 1 performance. The only way for anyone that wasn't at the competition to believe Top Gun's performance wasn't up par is to see it.
With that said, their day 2 performance was AMAZING! Not a single fall, bobble, or tumbling touchdown. They had impressive energy throughout their routine. Had Top Gun performed on both days like they did day 2, I would say with complete confidence that they earned that paid bid. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
