I love the little things this team does like the way Gabie hits her scale, Erica's little shimmy's, Amber Pickens at the very end coming down, the little group in the back that cheers on the tumblers. ugh. they are too perfect

Who's still watching this in 2017!?😍

Look at everything taylor minchew does in this routine! Her stamina must be incredible! Shes in the front for everything and keeps a smile on her face and energy going the whole time! She is amazinggggg!

I LOVE SENIOR ELITE!!!! I have been following them from the BegINNING!!!!!

I wish I had been in Dallas to see this routine. I think they are amazing but 2010 is still my all-time favorite Senior Elite routine!

The jumps are so tight and in sync, there pyramid is so creative, there tumbling is flawless and their stunts are amazing

also ending in a pyramid is a difficulty boost and adds to overall impression. the pyramid is also harder and senior elite. the double basket thing in the back center adds to score for impression

You always have the best quality videos!!

SE's strong point is definitely creativity.

it doesn't take a away from anyone at all.. it's what she has done for forever. And it's not "shaking her chest" it's doing a little shimmy and i'm pretty sure she's not the only one in her division that does it.

gabie always hits the crap out of her scale, i love it

Flexibility is an important thing in being a flyer! She`s clearly on SE just because she's a good tumbler because Im pretty sure they can find a better flyer

yeah thats true. you're right. but the jump over leg thing that they do is difficulty too

their jumps are insane.. if you space out at the right time ( i Know that sounds weird ) but it works.. you can really see how clean they are !

I LOVE this rountine! Its so creative!

Don't give up hope just yet. There Cheer Extreme, the don't let anyone stop them from getting the gold. They will pull through, i just know it. They may be alittle of know but they will rock it at worlds. I mean they SENIOR ELITE. Nothing can stop them :)

This is one tough division. Every large senior level 5 team has something amazing.. I can't wait for worlds to see who pulls ahead.

They pretty much changed their opening. They added in jumps straight to tumbling. And Im thinking they'll change the tumbling, they've changed it a lot. At batb In RT ashley threw a whip full whip double. And amber and lauryn used to throw whip doubles in RT I think. I'm sure they'll do what they need to do:))

She has pretty good heel stretches & a pretty good bow & arrow. Courtney & the rest of the coaches know what they're doing. And if you're saying a scorpion is a deciding factor, I guess they should replace Kelsey Rule on WCSS & Carly on Panthers because they don't have the best scorpions either.. Just saying.

to everyone arguing about their flexibility: pause at 2:08. you can see that some flyers have a needle or close to it, most have good scorpions, and only 1 or 2 have a Dorito. pause at 2:09, they all have a good scale. just because they don't have needles doesn't mean they aren't flexible. they can hit the stunts that have SO MUCH DIFFICULTY and that's what matters. people don't win worlds because of flexibility... stingrays orange won last year without a scorpion or scale in their routine.

@Ow En I didn't say Molly's baskets & Gabie's stunt was something they were using to try & win, I said its adding in difficulty. And even if it doesn't have a "wow factor" SE & Panthers have the most difficulty. Just because f5 is tick tocking all over the places doesn't mean they're stunt is more difficult...any of the lg sr teams could do all those low to high tick tocks.

at nca this year my team was in warm ups at the same time as panthers, f5, shooting stars, peach and senior elite... it was sooo distracting lol

Worlds teams rework their routines ALL the time. Execution is a HUGE factor that can push you ahead of another team.

baskets were soooo clean

The motion just before jumps is SO FIERCE.

Also, I am obsessed with Cheer extreme. I work out to their music and people think im dancing while working out, but in reality i'm just copying their motions. I really hope they win worlds, but I'm starting to doubt.

if you guys don't think they're stretching before worlds, you're crazy... they've won worlds twice and they obviously have a very successful gym. I think they coaches and athletes all know what they're doing!

I do however LOVE Molly's consecutive kick-doubles. If they take that out I will cry.

Ashley Hobbs is the other flyer in the pyramid, and she bases the stunts, so there's not really another option. SE has been doing great all season :)

Stunts were amazing!!

Obviously not alot of you know how this team operates, Courtney is a very smart Coach she doesn't show all of what her team can do during the regular season to throw off the competition & make them think their just taking it easy. CEA always brings it during worlds with new twists in their routine, can't wait to see these girls take home another ring :)

I think its awesome that Erica got to base gabie during the pyramid! that's awesome

Taylor's jumps though>>>>>>> seriously

Does anyone know the deduction for a tumbling pass that isn't completed? (I.e. round off handspring rebound instead of round off handspring double)

beautiful!!

I really miss their pyramid from showcase!!

@Ow En the 5 1 1/2 ups On SE go straight to a body position, F5 doesn't. And the whole team isn't doing it, but I'd say Gabie's stunt is harder than anything F5 is doing. And how many teams, (all girl teams at that) do you see doing a kick double basket, right to another kick kick double basket without the flyer even really reloading? There's plenty special about CEA still

i think its the song as well for the pyramid

they have always changed their stunt sequence from NCA to Worlds.No need to worry Teal still wears the crown.

Thank you!!

The dance song is "do ya" by swv

LOVE THEM!!! Which place they did?

I do trust that Courtney knows what she's doing. It was just really excruciating to see them throw a watered down routine at Dallas when all other teams seemed to be throwing full skills. And SE is so amazing in partner stunting that it's so strange to see other teams do much harder stunts. Let's hope the 360 tick-tock comes back in before Worlds... They all threw it so well way back at the start of the year! I think they can do it.

because I can and because senior elite are defending world champions, and usually when you want to win worlds again, you improve everything, including your flexibility in your stunts. It's great that they hit, but it doesn't look as appealing if the rest of your team is stretching except for you.

they aren't doing the 360 to scale stunt because this new one has a higher technical score... but who knows they may bring it back for worlds

Yes I do lol. Where are you getting this information?

As much as I love Senior Elite, they really need to step up their stunt sequence. Those low to high tick tocks need to add the turn, or Courtney needs to think of something totally outside the box. I just can't imagine them winning Worlds if they keep the stunt sequence the same as it is.

There is no deduction as such you just don't get the points for the skill you missed, you also lose some points for synchronisation and you may not score as high in execution/difficulty because it looks so messy

I feel like pyramid sequence and the two elite stunt sequence should have a little more difficulty. It seems as if their competition stepped up their game. Worlds is looking tough, but i'm rooting for Senior Elite!

Well, to replace Lauren as a flyer for the scorpion stunt, you'd have to put a base up in the air. I'm just saying that there can't be only 8 girls (out of a team of 36) that have good scorpions. And I do that SE has been doing great this year, but they need help in a few areas if they want to keep the crown.

Truth be told, SE started out the season leagues ahead of everyone else, and now it seems like other teams are catching up or have already surpassed them. They had to take out the turning tick tocks because they weren't being executed properly, they rearranged some tumbling passes because they weren't being executed properly, etc. Even at NCA they had faults from a semi-watered down routine. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Senior Elite, but I am getting seriously worried for them.

Any one else see amber fall in her basket?!?! And hit her back on the floor? ... Kudos to her for finishing the routine!

I'm pretty sure she's stretching, and if you've watched SE the past few years you would notice that their flyer flexibility has gotten a lot better.

I want their showcase pyramid back! but I have no worries... I know Courtney has something up her sleeve for worlds :) ♡♥CEA♥♡

That was really cool

does anyone know if the "nails done" part is a voiceover or just a song?

What makes you think that she isn't? Not everyone is great at everything,all at once. Incredible girl, humble, smart, stunning, awesome jumper, tumbler, dancer, body positions are improving, just not at the rate,apparently, that pleases you. Oh, well...

3 times a charm, you can talk all you want, but teal where the crown.

What point are you trying to make exactly?

Flexibility helps to hit your stunts on time, rather than hoping that you can pull your scorpion when it comes time. At worlds yesterday Lauren, the least flexible flyer on SE dropped 2 stunts, i'm pretty sure it's gunna cost them the gold.

They'd probably have to rework some of the routine to change something that's not that big of a deal.

Why did they have to change their song again?

The fact that everything you've said is happening on most teams, but you seem to only point out little flaw in SE that don't really matter.... That's the point I'm trying to make...exactly.

It's her and Erica who need work on their flexibility, I didn't necessarily say she was a bad flyer, but the best teams will have great scorpions and it shows who's dedicated and who's not when you stretch your body positions. It's the stunts that fall when you're trying to pull your scorpion, but can't because your arm can barely reach it.

I'd say they've been executing this routine very well all season. Everyone there knows what they need to do in order to win. I think they're fine.

also Destiny Oliver is so. damn. fierce.

Well it's a Senior Elite video, so I don't think it'd be relevant to critique about other teams when it's not their video. But I can point out what I don't like about the other teams: Panthers: Hate their pyramid; doesn't seem that difficult. Point-center jumper seems to always be milliseconds behind of everyone around her and it's hard not to notice. WCSS: Dance isn't great. Stunts need more difficulty. F5: Needs more synchronized tumbling. More difficulty in pyramid. Running out of space.

if you listen close at 0:23 you can here a girl going "This is my team right hear, this is my team right here. and clapping on every word lol"

Muito show..

well your dream came true!

I love Amber Pickens at the end of the routine before she goes down!! Lol

I love SE but they need to step it up. Not just their stunt sequence, which as it stands is not as difficult as F5's or Panthers', but also their tumbling! Ashley can throw that 1 to full whip double, and Lauryn and Amber Craft can both throw a million different specialty passes - why have they been throwing straight doubles for months? I get it when teams try to keep it simple and clean before Worlds, but SE needs to catch up or they won't have a chance in Orlando.

i know that Courtney will add more difficulty with there stunts in words and i know that this girls will work hard to win again the gold!!! :)

Carly's scorpion isn't even bad, and Kelsey isn't even doing a scorpion in their new revamped routine. Lauren on the other hand needs to be more flexible. Courtney and the rest of the SE coaches can throw in new tricks all they want, but if the flyers are executing it poorly, it's not going to help their score as much it potentially could.

That's Madison & Amber Craft..... Lauryn is the flyer on the far left.

When I see this dance sequence, all I see is panthers 2012.

Her scorpion has been struggling since, what, last year? I don't know if she's the same flyer, but I remember that there was a struggling scorpion in last year's routine as well. Why have her fly in that particular stunt if she's clearly not executing it well? SE has 10 flyers up in the pyramid, so clearly there are other options for who should do the scorpion.

Omg, I never said it was bad, I said it wasn't the best. Go read it. Lol. People's bodies are different and it could be harder for Lauren to gain enough flexibility to pull a better scorpion. And I'm sure she's working on it, they wouldn't make a video about better body positions if they weren't using it themselves. And last time I checked, Courtney took out a trick. And the whole team is executing the whole routine very well I might add.

are we going to act like this didn't happen? THIS WAS FXXKING AWESOME and that is completely ignoring the fact that not a single stunt was loss!

No ball ups? :(

its a voice over i think!

it dose not matter if there flexible it matters if they hit and that is what they do

this erica englebert?

I don't think its a deduction. I think its just less points awarded. I'm not sure though.

oh I just caught that! haha sorry her and molly look a like on camera. thanks!

gabie has a hyper extended needle, as well as madison and i'm pretty sure erica and amber have one. amber definitely has her needle. just because they don't pull it all the time, doesn't mean they don't have it. why don't you get on up in a full lib, and pull a hyper extended needle WITHOUT falling? xx

So is Taylor too big to fly too? Because they pretty much have similar bodies.. And what about Gabie, I'm sure she weighs around the same.. She's just a little taller.. I think they're doing just fine in the air.

i love when people reply like 10 year old children. grow up please. I wasnt knocking the routine. But no one else on her team is doing it.

But, Lauren hasn't fallen once this year, neither has Erica. Why don't you guys point out anyone else from other teams?

preach!

she's obviously excited that she hit her stunt. if you don't like it, don't look.

cool

Because this is a Senior Elite video? Why would I say "Oh I really like this routine, but I don't like the stunts on Peach."? If it's not relevant to Senior Elite, it doesn't need to be said on a video of them.

I don't see how they have a harder stunt sequence. Maryland twisters has more flyers doing 1 1/2 full ups instead of just 5. They all have high to high tick tocks. They have a few flyers doing turning tick rocks. They have harder combinations in their stunt sequence. I'm not favoring maryland twisters, but just as an example. Cheer extreme was traditionally known to have harder stunts than the other teams. Now all the teams have caught up and there's nothing special about cheer extreme.

There is no weight limit for flying

Panthers even changed they're routine because they could barely ever hit. It just seems like you're trying to pick at every little thing to try & prove a point. I'm not worried at all.

Ok so flexibility isn't everything in flying. Sure it plays a big part in it but you also need to be tight need to hit your stunts without looking like you're about to vomit, and smile. Even though some of them don't have the best flexibility, they are clean in the air and they hit their stunts. Isn't that good enough?

This routine was dutty (n)

Wowww

as long as they can cover it ... its okay though ^.^
