Its funny how in the past year SE was criticized for having an extremely similar routine to past years, but when Orange does it its okay just because its Orange. Aces and Orange seem to have a similar style (this year) good amount of flash and clean skills. Orange just seems to have more difficult but around the same level if not higher of cleanliness. However Aces routine/music is everythang!

*Yes, I do know I voluntarily brought SE into a conversation shocking.

A lot of routines have similar skills year to year, I would say orange has had a lot of similar things in the past but this year stands alone compared to years past IMO. I actually really like Aces routine I mean don't get me wrong they have a fun routine to watch and are an amazingly talented group of kids but I still think they are light years behind orange. Speaking of similar routines... Smoed's routine seems like a carbon copy of last year to me (probably going to be shunned for saying that).

The only thing that kills me about SE is they don't actually HIT their stunts, they move so fast from one position to another that it just looks chaotic and rushed. Its like they are trying to cram as much as they can into the routine in 2:30. Its impossible to tell if their flyers are actually staying up or coming down. JMO

if you're talking about their first stunt sequence at 0:30, from what i see they actually hit it. and they hit it also at their 2nd stunt sequence. the problem for me is: i'm not quite fan for the move that center flyer is doing at 1:35. it's a little bit too much for me. well it's just my opinion :)

people clearly dont read very well on this board do they........?:rolleyes: yes i mentioned that stingrays do the stunt, etc because they know it racks up points in their favor, but itll become repetitive after 2 or 3 years of doing it, and you know theyll probably continue to try and do it next year to. after two years im kinda over teams using the same choreo, etc. ...((::yawn::))
yeah people seem to think just cause rays have won so much, that they can do the same stuff over and over, well eventually people are going to think its old news and that they should come up with something new.
i never truly brought up this years routine in any of my post i was only talking about maybe one or two stunts that they used 2011, last year and are doing this year...

go ahead and jump up my butt....but please learn how to read correctly and not pick one or two sentences out of a reply and attack like a crazy dog.. :enjoyshow:

Rays continues and always continues to do what wins, not what is the same every year. It just so happens what wins (I.E. what scores the best) is always the same. If it changed, they would change. Rays are not driven by winning a certain way, only by winning. And that is the difference between them and a lot of programs. Other programs want to win it 'their' way. Which is fine, but you ask yourself: would you rather win or do it your way? Rays will do it the most efficient way possible. If there suddenly was a cluck like a chicken section in the routine you can bet next week they would have a cluck like a chicken class.

there is no rule on the placing of the bases, but i believe there is a rule for the amount. at least for baskets there is! maximum of 4 people under a stunt

Ah that's where I remember the rule from! I knew there was a max of people for something

I just love the close up video of Senior Elite because you can really see the details of the routine and how much they get into performances and how you can see them cheer each other on I just love it !

 

[Tealxblack25]

Oops wasnt done, the only thing I realized is they took out "you can change the rules you can change the game" and that was my favorite part :(

I typically enjoy SE's dances in the way I enjoy a good cup of hot chocolate. I don't need it to come from cacao beans hand-picked in the tradition of ancient mayans, being processed in a secret Belgian factory before being delivered to me in my bed by a Swiss person who tops it with whipped cream that's been beaten into peaks with the beating of fairy wings.

Otherwise known as- it's simple and it's calmly enjoyable and it gets the job done.

I LOVE their dance this year. They actually look like they're into instead of it being a fun, happy part. It's about as fierce a dance as I've seen them do, and I dig it.

One of my favorite posts ever! Thank you for putting it so perfectly into words, and for making me crave hot chocolate now! :p

Thank you. I have nothing more to add...

As a person who was formerly not a huge Orange fan, I'm gonna have to say I disagree with them doing the same thing year after year. If they did the same thing this year that they've been doing for the past couple of years, I can't say that I'd be a fan right now, but that's not the case. I LOVE Orange this year, they really stood out to me.

The same could be said about a lot of programs though. Gyms that, from the outside, seem to have the same routine philosophies as Orange. Gyms like Spirit of Texas. Their routines don't vary all that much from year to year, with the exception of stunt sequences changing, tumbling passes changing, and jump sequences very slightly changing. I'd put it more to Rays' style than anything. Although I can agree with you about their stunt, it was basically the same for a few seasons in a row.
