The Zipzapdingdongfupaks of Titans 2009 - The Review




They were the serial winners of the Best Dressed award for the years 2003, 2004 and 2005 but their uniforms of late are leaning towards the Lady Gaga direction. Champions of CHEER 2006 they have shed off their Best Dressed image and had become one of the icons of the cheer scene.

Routine Choreography
I expected an entertaining routine but instead I had a mindblowing one! It was more than I expected and the routine was awesome.

Strongly Thai-influenced with the typical maniacal Thai dance, this routine delivers like a spicy tom yum and the stunts made an impact as hard as a bitch slap. Good energy, commands attention, and FIERCE!

Stunts (note that the stunts on the 2nd day is different to keep by the rules)
  • 3 sets of basket toe touch + reload + liberty extension heel stretches + down to prep level + press up to liberty extension scales + twist cradles + backwalk
  • 3 sets of front handspring to load + elevators + press up to liberty extension arabesques + peel down
  • 1 set of basket toss scissors kick
  • 1 set of basket toss single vertical
  • 1 set of liberty extension chin-chin
Pyramid Sequence 1 - 2 structured
  • Bracers: 3 sets of shoulder stands
  • Braced: 180 to elevator + press up to extension + sponge to load + front tuck + reload + flatback + press up to extension heel stretches
Pyramid Sequence 2 - 2 structured
  • 2 sets of basket around the world + reload to flatback interlink with middle bracer + reload to liberty extension hitch on inside elevator + tick tock + liberty extension hitch on outside shoulder seats (HOLY SHIT!)
  • 1 set of show and go + sponge + elevator
Cheer Stunt Sequence
  •  Combination of straight extensions, press up extensions, elevator double takes + front tuck dismount
.What made this routine works
  • BREAK THE RULES 

Note: Flyers need to ride more on the opening basket toss toe touch. Keep tight on the liberties and stretch please! My heel stretch is better than all of you. Synchronization could be better.  But otherwise..

Eric, you missed out two (2) basket around the world.

If it wasn't for the illegal stunts they wouldn't have rank so low. The backwalk out of stunts were obviously illegal though, funny why they decided to risk it again.

I thought they have too simple of a toss and correct me if i'm wrong there isnt any twist down are they? Nevertheless the tick tock on the final pyramid was pretty amazing! Awesome girls!

No matter what good jobs girls this is indeed one of the most technical routine and not to mention one of the cleaness routines besides the illegal stunts in Cheer 2009.

CW: Babe, I mentioned the around the worlds in the Pyramid Sequence 2 lah.

And the judges are quite blind so might as well do the backwalk.

I said...

They ARE REALLY good this year, but with half the team graduating from school, and few of them quit because their parents forbid them to cheer, I doubt that they can maintain their great-ness next year.
