Wow! I just finished this video and I am still amazed. I have never had the time fly by as quickly as it did with this one; I never looked at my watch once! Rob starts out and usually his sections are the ones that drag as he teaches endlessly the simplest moves, then makes you repeat the entire tedious process on the other side. Imagine my surprise when he said he was done and it felt like about five minutes!

What's amazing is that all three Gs use their trademark system -- show the base moves, add variations, add more variations -- until you're doing the whole thing. The BIG (and I mean mack truck big!) difference here is that they do it SO quickly, you wonder who finally got their ears and told them to speed things up. I am pretty good at picking up tricky choreography after just a try or two, but I have to admit I stood there confused a couple of times during Rob's and Darrin's portions. Suprisingly, it was Patrick's that was the easiest to pick up (maybe because I've done his other tapes and I'm used to him?).

I know I'm not being tremendously specific but all three guys had moves I've never seen before mixed with some that you will know and welcome for the mental break they provide. Even Patrick's warm-up is quick-paced and innovative. When all three have finished teaching their combos, they put them together twice, then split them, then insert Patricks between the other two so it doesn't feel like you're doing the same thing over and over. I had most of it down by this point but not all and that is unusual for me. Darrin's cool-down is very simple and gives your mind a much-needed rest.

I guess the bottom line is if you've given up on the G-Force because they failed to challenge you or get your heart rate up, you've got to get this one and give them another try. They have obviously been reading what we've been putting out there and have truly delivered. A+++ all the way around (except for that gag me little thing at the end where they all do a "Super!" cheer). I'd always preferred Patrick out of the three Gs and primarily purchased their tapes for his sections, but after Superstep, I'd actually like to see CIA give Darrin and/or Rob their own tapes (are you listening Greg?).
