i wouldn't wanna do it if it was just these 2 teams. you guys lets all make it out to this one. its way cheaper then actual dtu. the only other option that day is Knotts.

mark_anthony said...

that would be great for morse too!!! aliso viejo is a lot closer to san diego than it is for channel islands to go! let's make it the new short flag competition to be at!

hey! this isn't me "hating", i'm just asking out of curiosity. i though you had to have at least 4 girls to compete with dtu? did the rules change? i remember a couple of teams only have 3 girls.

Okay , i'm mother flipping mad about how CI got bull against Bishop's routine . This is to that comment how bishop is scared and shit .

If you guys don't like it , then at the next comp , come to Bishop SF when they are practicing and say that bull to their faces along with their coach .

And if you think you have enough authority to say that bull, then make a team of your own and an original routine . Bishop's coach is one of the best choreographer at pep flags ! So if you got the nuts to STILL say that bull, then damn , you just make CI look like a little dog trying to bark louder than it's body can give.

it's funny how people try to start stuff between teams and it's not really valid.

i wouldn't take 99% of the comments left here seriously. first off, because most of the comments left here are Anonymous. so who really knows who is leaving these messages?

the coaches who coach the teams are cordial, if not more, with one another and speaking for myself, i am always anxious to see what the other teams bring to the table every year. i respect all the coaches in this small community.

everyone just needs to remember and know that there is still a competitive aspect here. no matter who is friends with who and who may hang out with who, at the competitions it's time to put on our game faces. everyone is vying for that 1st place trophy that day. ultimately, it's the girls (and boys) on the floor that perform... leave all the rivalry on the floor @ the competitions.

mark you are so cute;)

you are so stupid!! Mark ( CIs coaches ) and bishops coaches are friends. dumb ass

is bishop montgomery going? who else is? you know everyone can make this as good as nationals if alot sign up!

Anonymous said...

more like coaches that smoke 'n drink with their team! wow, what role models!

Anonymous said...

last time i checked, these coaches are NOT paid for by the school or the kids... theyre not there to set role models but to make these kids into the best team they can be with the best routine they can give... dont be mad just coz youre not good enough to be a coach...

Anonymous said...

who does that! i could never respect a coach who does that with their team.

Anonymous said...

i dont think this blog is supposed to be about criticizing coaches and what they do.

in the end...its what the teams can bring to the floor.

let the teams worry about what their coaches do and don't do.

but i guess everyone has the right to express their opinions..

Anonymous said...

you guys are super dee duper dumb! so now you idiots stopped picking on the actual team and aiming for the coaches now? if your really trying to dig that deep and get into a coaches personal life then you really need to find yourself a hobby.

and what are you guys trying to imply about respect, seems like no one in this "community" respects each other anyways. all everyone does on here is talk crap about one another to put each other down. so if anything respect the sport first before you try and judge a coach for what they do outside of their practices and/or competition time.

You should see how Mark treats his gurls. Terrible!!! He would make them eat a whole pot of longanisa if they didnt get 1st place. I saw them do it at West Covina. Hes trying to turn them gurls into one of the alumni like " Country Bear ". Fat ass

but hey longanisa is BOMB... with a little bit of rice =]

hey just wondering if any team needs a coach for the 2011 season if so let me know. Im all original and have alot of never seen b4 ideas.

UMM.. WHEN DO ROLE MODELS NEED TO BE PAID? i'm sure your parents are a couple of your role models but do they get paid to raise you.. i didn't think so. when one is working with young adults as a coach, teacher, mentor, or whatever, they ARE role models to their pupils. It's obvious that the kids do listen to what their coaches are saying, or else they wouldn't need him/her in the first place. yes, they are there to make a winning team, but what good is that if you have no morals whatsoever.

Who are all the coaches from the different teams anyways?!!!

Good job to Bishop and Channel!!!

1 flag:

1st- Bishop
2nd- Channel

2 flags:

1st- Channel
2nd- Bishop

Anonymous said...

i was a little surprised with channel islands winning because of their 3 flag section. but looking back, the rest of the routine was pretty on point. nobody get me wrong, the charisma saved them. bishop cut the fierce! its hurting your points in showmanship. you guys used to smile? ladys should and could of won this one.

carson's ending in one flag was a little odd. i didn't quite catch the concept. and the two flag could have been a little cleaner. gotta stick those tosses and exchanges. good job on third place.

now camarillo i don't think we have to worry to much about at nationals (THIS YEAR). tripping each other and falling down wont win you anything. but i will say, these girls have their own intense tricks, their own style. putting it simple, these girls are NOT copyrillo. falling and fumbles aside, i think these girls are finally a force to be reckoned with.

to all teams, good job and keep working. this year is going to be intense!

Anonymous said...

i see a lot of channel islands influence within camarillo.. what i didnt understand was why bring out an extra flag to use it for so little in the routine!

if you have extra.. use it! and use it well! the performance could have been excellent but they really need to work on the basics... as well as their own style.

channel islands really works it for just 3 girls! i wouldnt be surprised if they take nationals again for both divisions.

carson could have been a lot cleaner... a lot of butterfingers during their performances.

bishop was clean... 2 flag doesn't really WOW me as much as the 1 flag does. i dont really get the beginning.. i just think that the lifts should be in the middle... its taking away from their performance.

great job everyone!

Anonymous said...

no trophies for Carson? WTF In my opinion, Carson deserves atleast 2nd place for both 1 and 2 flags.

Anonymous said...

no they really didn't... not at all this time. love you carson. but they really didn't get it done yesterday.

Anonymous said...

Uhh no they didn't if you actually saw how they peformed and how the other schools performed then you would honestly understand why. They were just really really messy and they seriously didn't deserve at least 2nd place. Not hating just speaking the truth.

Anonymous said...

I agree with the last comment. Carson SHOULD have at least won 2nd in both divisions. It's too bad. I noticed only ONE of the three judges there was an experienced short flag choreographer (that tall Latino guy whose kinda hot). So makes sense that the results were idiotic. No offense to BM, but their routines are too simple. But props to them for the beautiful, stress-free way they land their tosses. Had I judged, it would have been Channel and Carson neck and neck.

Anonymous said...

are you kidding me! this competition was clearly between ci and bishop. carsons routine is nothing new, we all seen it before, and all they really have is showmanship and even that was not enough to save them for this competition because in my opinion this is the worse ive seen carson so far this season. another thing is carsons 1 flag cant stand no way in hell getting at least 2nd compared to ci and bishop. it seems like its last years routine with random music that does not even really go with the routine this year. unless your an actual judge then you fix the placing. but it all really depends on how each team does the day of a competition. ci and bishop be proud of that 1st and 2nd place i think it was well deserved, your hard worked really showed and may the best team take the title!

Anonymous said...

carson one flag is a joke..channel one flag is tight..bishop one flag is the bomb..carson two flags is a joke..bishop two flags is tight..channel two flags is the bomb..so if you didnt get a " tight " or " bomb " then you need to step your shit up..so far bishop one flag is on top and channel two flag is on top..let me say this again so if you aint in the front, step your shit it up and stop crying!!!

Anonymous said...

Ahahaha! Ain't nobody crying, boo! Just mah two-cents so maybe you shouldn't get your panties up in a bind! Peace and love, quell those voices in your head, and breathe....

CARSON IS bomb! I'm honestly not a big fan of Carson's, but I am calling it out as I see it fairly. HUGE CI fan here, to be honest. But I'm not here to ruthlessly talk them up about how great they were on Saturday or down BM because I actually liked their performance, too. BM is great, too. There, I said it, I like BM, so relax. But the routine is not as good as Carson's or CI. So there.

So, what? lol

"NAMASTE.

no lifes. what sportmanship you guys have

You gotta be kidding me or just simply be blind to say that bishops routine isn't up to where carsons or ci's routine should be. I just think that people arnt use to the fact that the underdogs are actually coming up and beating these top teams consistantly. You wanna say the competition is between so and so but no honey best believe and realize that these bitches are hungry and ready to hunt your asses down so don't hate because your favorite team lost their top spot. Leta just all face the facts some of the top teams are running out of ideas while these 2nd runner up teams are coming up with it. Let's not hate and just watch and enjoy the competition.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Wow you seriously need to get a life, chica!

You need some serious professional help. You just sound really crazy and angry!

What's scary is that you've actually convinced yourself that squawking aggressive like a crazy banshee is going to make people actually like BM a little more.

Face it: BM's routines are easy, no true difficulty! They ARE original, clean and wonderful to look at. So Again, like I said I love it, too. Just like you.

However, your rants are counter-productive: it's comments like yours that make people NOT like the team you're trying to defend. And I gotta tell you, I'm really starting to like your team BM a little less now.

Don't bother to respond - you're truly a nutcase, u know that? U need to relax... and NEWSFLASH: it's just flags, boo!

So, check yourself into Shutter Island, get some psychiatric help and realize that the things you say are WAAAAAAY too serious for such a light, fun subject/discussion.

WOW, you need to see a therapist, for real!

Otherwise, peace and love, ALL FLAG TEAMS! I truly love you respect you all!

YES! u said it girl!! this Bishop fan is way too intense. im also with you as far as their routines. its pretty routines and nice to look at. they do it simple and sweet with little difficulty. that's ok. maybe shes being touchy. i hear you tho!

Anonymous said...

i don't see any hints of ci in camarillo's routine other then the extra flags? camarillo only has three girls, 2 of which are exceptional at 3 flag. should the coach have the one girl do nothing while the other 2 do 3 flag? yes they need to work on their basics. but they don't need to work on their "own style". i can tell that comment was just an attempt to be cruel but still try to sound nice. GO Camarillo, Bell, Hoover and Arcadia!!! the real underdogs rule!

Anonymous said...

bishop's routine is way too simple. the reason why they never drop is because for 1. their tricks are too easy & 2. their tosses are way to close to eachother!

ci on the other hand.. they're good. but i see no "spark" in them. their captain is just as good as the returnees.

carson.. your drops were way too dramatic but i definitely felt the energy.. your 1 flag needs a tweak because there's no way carson will win 1-flag at nationals.

Anonymous said...

oh to the comment about the captain from channel i think her name is camille yea she sucks she looks just as bad as her first year i mean come on if your a true pep flag fan im sure youve seen her all her other years no growth whats so ever.. i think the fat girl on there team should have been captain shes the only one thats been killing it this whole season... although the black girl kills with her facials you totally see the black attitude in her when she fucks up or drops her flag

carson flaggies a little disappointed with there performance at soka not as sharp as past comps.. they should have just stuck to there routine instead of just changing it i mean youve won already with your routine why change it... oh and its funny how there trying to change there toss sequences to toss far and high.. it isnt working for you ladies nice try to stepping it up but wasnt well executed..

Bishop...wow! you guys are definitely hungry to win it you can tell but yea.... your routines arent a big wow factor compared to last years routine yea i definitely agree quit the fierce faces coz it aint working and rip off those long ass fake eye lashes coz that aint workin'

camarillo.. Oh camarillo... you ladies great job but you need to be consistent through out your whole entire routine you cant just have little asian girl in the middle to pick you all up during the whole routine...

oh and to the comment about the coaches...forget YA'LL I love there coaches! especially king mark and queen glenn... SORRY QUEEN ELIZABETH STEP DOWN FROM YOUR THROWN COZ YOU AINT POPPIN' bitch! you and your damn spirit fingers... haha...

Well, well... another mental, racist case chiming in. And talk about low class!

Dang, there are seriously a LOT of mental cases up in here, ghetto mentality with plenty of time on their hands at the trailer park.

GET A LIFE! Ain't nobody getting paid for this, celebrate all teams and stop knocking everyone. There's a BIG difference between talking smack and constructive criticism. Know the difference before you start uglying up this blog by throwing up all over it!

There are things I don't like about every team, but I'm not going to knock everyone because of it. Please comment with grace. Show some respect and at the same show some level of dignity for you and for each of our teams... the same kind that ALL these teams show you by their very presence on the floor.

For example, I don't like Bishop's routine, but I still LOVE their performance! And wow, they are so poised and lovely on the floor! The choreography could use some difficulty and more snap/flash to their overall execution, but they are still a wonderful team that should be celebrated for their merits. It doesn't make me want to knock them. And I'm not knocking them because I like them, too.

high and mighty people, I'm speaking to you: GET PROFESSIONAL HELP! Criticize constructively, everyone deserves praise. And the criticism, there's nothing wrong with being honest, but do the (flags) world a favor and stop knocking everyone down.

Peace and love to ALL teams, in all our faults!!

And by the way, stop identifying people by their ethnic heritage. You're being straight up racist! Knock it off! Webmaster, please make note of this.

Camarillo has a great routine. if only they rehearsed a bit more and were a lot peppier, they could surprise us, big time! I love their energy, too. they have a lot of inner spirit, their ambition shows. I have a lot of respect for Camarillo. i'm growing to become a fan.

Big love to Camarillo!

Not sure where to post this but I wanted to ask if anyone has heard of National Clicks?

Can someone help me find it?

Overheard some co-workers talking about it all week but didn't have time to ask so I thought I would post it here to see if someone could help me out.

Seems to be getting alot of buzz right now.

Thanks

I remember pep/short flags at my highschool in California...now 24 years later my daughter is going to start high school in Colorado where we now live. I looked to see if they had a short flag squad, and I am thinking they don't have them in Colorado at all!!
I would love to know if anyone has info regarding this...also, if I were to by her some flags and rods to show her what I know, what is the best weight? I have seen a range from about 8 oz to 5.5 oz. Is there an official competition weight?
