I'm thinking cheesefest jumpfest is not Jason's strongest event.

I'm loving Alex K.'s moves like Jagger, however

[Moxiejan]

Cain/LeDuc did a nice throw 3Lz into Rippon 2Ts!

And still got only a row of 9s. WuzRobbed!

Of course, shouldn't have beaten the 4S, but still ...

 

[karne]

Okay, I have been informed is was a throw 3S, not a 4S. I am not a morning person.

Well, I was thinking what an idiot I was for not noticing that it was a quad ...

So now I'm back to my outrage over the scoring of the two pairs. C/L wuz robbed.

 

[Tex]

Did the pairs teams compete with side by side jumps? The videos I saw had a round of them doing a triple twist and another round of triple throws. C/L would have won a round of side by side jumps IMO. I like this idea of a jump competition and maybe they could expand to include a spin competition too.

Because captains must be able to do backflips - are there any ladies other than Surya who can do back flips?
