They started off at the beginner level.

And then intermediate.

Look at that form.

Some of the skills shown were...questionable.

But then they got serious.

Bringin' out the ol' 5-meter.

Unleashing 'The Jackhammer.'

'The Salmon.'

And the 'I-Don't-Know-What-I'm-Doing."

But the real phenomenon was this guy:

Performing the age-old "Flopper."

"Bouncer."

And the "I-Stuffed-Up-On-National-TV."
