Check this out for the half time show at something or other in America.

Starts impressive, then goes on. But picks up again just after 4 mins.

Very good routines.

I think he is referring to the fact that the match appears to be a military game - judging by the crowd and that one of the scoreboards says 'Army'.

Ah OK. Yes I think it is Army-Navy game

No, I meant that I found it irritatingly American. I can imagine the voice-over. (Cue strong Arabic voice) "Look how the infidel let their daughters dance in revealing clothing! Death to America! Death to the infidel scum!"

Skipping is one thing.

This is precision.

Wow. That must have taken a while to learn and practice. I can only imagine the hundreds of time rifles were dropped or bayonets stuck in feet. While practising short sword drills I nearly gave myself a home orchidectomy.

Top stuff, love how the Yanks can take something as mundane as skipping, add a load of glitz and razmataz and create a top show from it!

I thought only girls did Baton twirling? Is this the macho version?

Surprisingly easy after a bit of practice and some bruised calfs (those speed ropes hurt like fk when they hit you!)

It's what men do... shortly before accidentally becoming women.
