DISPLAYS

The Kangaroos Display Team prides itself on its ability to produce a display to fit any requirements, in both gymnastics and trampolining. Normally the team performs two types of Displays :-

THE MAIN DISPLAY

This Display consists of a series of 7 increasingly difficult and more spectacular moves with over 200 somersaults including many doubles, and if conditions are right, some triple somersaults (not performed by any other team in the U.K.).  The highlights of the Display are multiple somersaults over a car, motorcycles or sometimes the bucket of a J C B, and the final ‘Big Move’ which is the longest, highest and most spectacular Vaulting move performed possibly anywhere in the world.

THE COMEDY DISPLAY

This Display is based on a classic Victorian theme. It includes Victorian clad Gymnasts, a ‘Gentleman’, two Cricketers, a Robber and a Policeman, who are all involved eventually in a classic chase.  This display has many exciting, spectacular and very dangerous vaults and somersaults and its climax is the Gymnasts performing double somersaults over the others sitting on top of a vaulting box!

WORLD RECORDS

The Kangaroos hold several performance World Records.  One is for the longest and highest continuous vaulting move, (223 feet long), with 19 performers in the air at the same time.  Another is 43,629 somersaults in 24 hours performed with pupils of Polesworth High School, North Warwickshire, for ‘Children in Need’.
