Background[]
The Chicago Boyz Acrobatic Team is a professional gymnastics troupe consisting of talented young men and boys from the Chicagoland area. Their performance includes acrobatic stunts and tricks inside twirling jump ropes, catapulting off mini trampolines and thundering tumbling routines.
Founded in 1999 by professional gymnast Tim Shaw, these young inner city youth are taught discipline, respect, hard work, integrity and teamwork. Members must maintain a "C" average in school, are not allowed to drop out of school, associate with gangs, drugs, alcohol or tobacco. Through Tim's positive impact, many kids have not only become professional polished gymnasts, but turned their lives around in the process.
The Chicago Boyz have performed at NBA and college halftime shows, professional circuses, festivals, theme parks and schools throughout the country [1]
Preliminary[]
Chicago Boyz' preliminary performance in Episode BC03 consisted of performing acrobatic feats such as flipping backward, jump roping, and forming a human jump rope to be hopped over. Mike, Saf, Pennies and Fresh all gave them standing ovations. Their performance was strong enough for the judges to send them to Judge Cuts instead of Zuma Zuma and Lightwire Theater.

Judge Cuts[]
Chicago Boyz' Judge Cuts performance in Episode BC06 consisted of carrying out acrobatic feats such as flipping in the air, jump roping in between a turning rope in between another turning rope, hopping while on knees, and leaping over a group of members performing the human jump rope trick. Unfortunately, during their performance, a member broke his tibia in three places, forcing him to sit out for the rest of the competition. Despite this, Mike, Saf, guest judge Fuz, Pennies and Fresh were still impressed by their routine and all gave them standing ovations. Their performance however was not strong enough for the judges to send them to the Quarterfinals, eliminating them from the competition.
