Are You Giving Your Best Shot?

I saw this one when I was looking for the clip of that Lazy Leg. To me it isn't the stunts that really caught my eyes, although they are cute...

Anyway, to get a really synchronized action needs a lot of work. Not to mention there are all four of them doing the same thing with the same timing.

They were in that competition one year earlier (2006) but have to pull out because one of them injured his ankle. But they never give up on what they love and what they want to do. So instead of showing the world what they could do earlier, they have got an extra year of time to put in even more of their hard work into making their presentation better with even more practice and improvements, and to put more elements into their movements and they made it through until the semifinal round.

Well, although they did not win the competition but they have instantly become popular and that is definitely going to help them in the prospering of their training school.

Like they said, "for that one minute on stage we have done every single day".

In life we win some and lose some. What we lose may not necessarily be bad because we just never know how high it would push us to go way over the initial goal that we thought we deserved.

If you are feeling like giving up out there, ask yourself, "have you gone to their extent?" If you haven't, try harder; if you have, don't let go yet because you are almost there. Just push a little bit more!
