Date: Saturday 13th July 2013 at Shelford Rugby Club
Once all the Saturday coaching was complete at CRC and Sawston the Cangaroos Demo squad made their way to the Shelford Rugby Club for the ARM Summer Party in which they were performing an outside trampoline demo.
Ali, Max and Luis arrived early and did an essential pre-ground sweep of the buffet BBQ and drink tents before the others arrived. As Tony drove the trailer into the field the minions scurried to the equipment to help get everything set ready for the demo.
Once the trampoline was all set Kim and Lizz disappeared to the PIMMS tent to discuss the importance of hydration and Max raced back to the BBQ for a second helping of meaty goodness! The kids were soon off battling the various fairground rides as the temperature reached a blistering 28 degrees. With bouncers fed, watered and ready the demo commenced.
Despite not having a PA Tony bellowed to the crowd as people began to pay attention. Great demonstrations of moves from the development squad helped illustrate the importance of the basic skill sets. As they finished, the higher level bouncers took to the bed to show off many double somersaults including newly learnt skills such as Matt's double pike back, Luis's half out ballout and Ali' Rudi Out. Despite Matt's attempt to do his double bounce roll as slow as possible all moves were landed and looked great. The traditional 'Highest Crash-dive' contest saw Ali pie-face Luis with cream as he came down, to the amusement to the crowd - a fantastic hit! Trinity and Sydney did a fantastic job jumping on Ali and Tony's shoulders as we wrapped up with some party tricks. Next stop will be the Shelford Feast demo on Sunday!
