All-Star Classiest Gyms?

Spirit of Texas for sure. Not only do they display good sportsmanship, but a humble attitude and friendliness as well. When I visited them, the owner took time out to talk to us for a good hour, as well as some parents. It was so awesome!

Bret Hansen is ONE OF THE NICEST MOST HUMBLE AND GRACIOUS people I've ever met in this industry. They're awesome!

The 2010 TG mix was almost entirely directed at Cali (and maybe this makes me a bad person) but its still my all time favorite mix. But I also seem to remember a lot of discussion over a Georgia (or was it trinity) mix (you see how closely I pay attention to this stuff) last year that got people riled up.

I think the difference is between vaguely referring to a program versus directly calling them out. I think that's where people get sideways.

I just think (in general) its bad karma. Nothing to do with "classy" gyms. I don't know how many times I've seen a team with something like that in their music that just opens you up for ALL kinds of commentary if it doesn't hit.

There was one at CHEERSPORT last year that bragged about having the best tumblers....right when they busted at the same time. And although I think it was awesome when it hit. That GA VoiceOver from a few years ago 3,6,9,12 (the dirty dozen) I cannot possibly be the only person sarcastic enough to have thought..."nope, 10 1/2!" If it missed.

So I'd steer clear of that for karma's sake over maintaining a classy image

i always have a semi hard time figuring out if cali and top gun dig at each other in their music, simply cause any type of bullet or gun reference in the music i just assume they are talking about themselves. some are more obvious then others, yeah. but it does make me wonder if a good majority of their 2010 mix was a dig at cali. ((and yes i just re watched that routine ha.)) ohhh the memories

Yes. To everything. There is a huge difference between mentioning them in playful voiceovers, and playing a voiceover of the rival owner talking about kids that are now at your gym. That's absolutely tacky and distasteful....and karma came back pretty hard on them.

agree with the top gun statement! last year at a competition in florida they were so nice to my gym, they cheered us on in warmups and also a bunch of them including their coaches sat in front for our teams as we performed...they were so great and encouraging! also all of the fame teams have been great to my gym at all of the competitions we have been at together this year...love both these gyms!

We had the exact same experience at Cheersport Nationals last year. Top Gun competed in our division and a few of our kids got real nervous seeing them in practice. They came and watched our gym and applauded and yelled "hit, hit, hit pull" at the appropiate times. We appreciated that very much.
