clean white shoes
laced perfectly
standing nervously

on top of the blue mat

nighttime jumpers
all day tumblers

proving what they got
spring against a
blue mat held
together by strips of tape

only one hundred eighty seconds
20 people
working together as



one family
striving for perfection

for working for 100 percent

super flexible flyers



always hitting

crisp skills


never falling

doubling down from all stunts

spinning around



bases arms wide open
in trust we put
trust for the solid catch

ride and twist

capture release

step and go
sharp motions
smiles from ear to ear
and bursts of excitement as one


all while on the blue floor
