Johns Creek:

Here’s what stood out about this routine:

• The open. Enough said. Seriously, this open is SICK SICK SICK!! I love it. The music is bang-on.  The ripple full-up-retakes, the synchronized cartwheel transtitions, leading into….
• ROCK.SOLID.STUNTS! The body positions are almost flawless.  The bases are immovable objects. They make difficult skills seem easy. Other squads should take notes.  THIS is how stunts should look.
• They have super clean squad tumbling with a nice transition from a jump sequence into ripple double-backhandspring-fulls.
• They have a real simple cheer that is, again, very clean.  The ripple baskets, especially the kick-doubles, look great and you don’t lose the words while they’re being thrown.
• They throw fulls all over the place.  I think I lost count. Is it 8?
• The do more full up/down, twisting and turning in their pyramid sequence.  It would be amazing on its own with all that movement.  However, the fact that they do all that moving and manage to stay synchronized? Very impressive! It’s just a fun sequence with a great look and a strong finish.
• I loved their dance. It’s got some different moves in it and things that make it really “pop.” They finish on a very strong note, which we all know can add anywhere from 5 to 10 extra points to your score.

Peachtree Ridge:

Here’s what stood out about this routine:

• The opening is super clean.  It is really crisp with nearly everyone hitting 3-toe-touches-to-tucks.
• They put up 5 TRUE coed stunts.  There’s not a lot of variety right now but so far they’re the only squad I’ve seen that is doing exclusively coed stunting. It’s just a bonus that they’re hitting them clean, including the double full downs.
• They throw a ton of layouts.  I’ll admit this is impressive only because it gives a taste of things to come.  How many of those are fulls that are being held in reserve for later in the season.  It’s also notable because there’s no other skill thrown, no handspring tucks, everyone throws at least a layout.  The final pass with all the front tumbling is a great way to end an impressive sequence.
• That kick-double basket is SICK!
• The second tumbling sequence, the one set to “Unbelievable,” fits the song well.  Hands down, that kid can tumble!  I wouldn’t mind seeing more of that kind of action.
• The slow-mo in the dance is awesome. The squad sells it perfectly and the music is great.  Done wrong and it could ruin the pace of the whole routine. As its performed now it ADDS energy.
• The final pyramid gets more and more difficult each week. Those blow-out transitions are nice and, as usual, everything is super clean.  There are a ton of spots to throw off the timing there but they manage to keep it all together without any noticeable bobbles.
