All-Star Japan Cup...amazing!

American i6 teams need to step up pyramids..hardcore.

So does living in Asia automatically make you a beast at pyramids? Serious question.

Keep in mind, there are only 5 dudes on that team.

[f5forever]

Wow! And why have I never seen them at worlds??? They are ba.na.nas.

How old are these kids? It says "Junior High". So are they like 7th and 8th graders? Or different terminology over there? If these kids aren't even in high school yet....yowzers.

What I love about these athletes is that they are fundamentally TIGHT like the way it used to (and still should) be here in the states.

Incredible! Can't believe the strength of the bottom female bases on those 3 person stunts.

Have you been to the World Championships in Bremen two years ago?? Do you remember that Co Ed Pyramid where they tossed one girl up between to shoulderstands and she did some kind of ''Star'' Thing and landed in a Swedish Falls right on top? (Weird to explain) That literally made me faint!!!
And you're right its a shame they won't compete at Worlds soon :(

literally? haha

I just noticed that they perform facing the side of the mat... that's interesting.

I've actually been to Bremen in 09 and to Helsinki in 07. Both times amazing performances from the japanese teams!

Incredible! Can't believe the strength of the bottom female bases on those 3 person stunts.

Once you got the technique down its all about the core muscles. I did this once for a groupstunt pyramid and I simply did planks one minute straight and one minute each side daily on top of the usual conditioning - was enough to hold that stunt up there.
Here is a picture of it:

Go Rrrrraiders! :D
(To everyone who hasn't seem them: imagine the Rrrrr being more like a spanish"R" than the actual american "R"...)

I actually watched them practice right before their performance. They were probably the most disciplined team I'll ever see. And they had like the tiniest little music machine. It was about the size of like 3 soda cans and was as loud as a full out sound system :eek:.
