* Excellent day for flying...!
I love today’s weather: nice, cool & dry with little winds. Excellent. We are deep in the midst of the season for sure. We have quite a number of students at the point in their trainings with 3 to 4 front end tricks under their belt (pun intended) & working on their swings. It’s awesome to see such widespread progressions. Samantha W. & I were trying to recreate her returns to the fly bar. We finally found a trick to challenge her: the Pull Over Shoot! She’s determined & I’m sure she’ll catch it before long. Michelle is progressing with her swing rather nicely. The mighty Fix, wonderful Olivia & beautiful Ronnie were working the classes & crowds to everyone’s delight! And, let’s not forget that success is measured in the efforts & sacrifices made to achieve it. Sue was given a surprise class from her friends, & Sue hates heights! Nonetheless, she earned her own success just by getting up to the board a couple of times. There are days you can hardly wait to pass & there are days you wish would never end. Virtually all the days at our rig are of the latter variety. “It’s wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky…” (Helen Keller on flight around the world) Always have a great day. – Dino
It's funny that the Pull Over Shoot challenged Samantha W. so much b/c one of her current go-to tricks is the Pull Over Forward Over. I remember this as a time just before an explosion of talent from our students. Many of them broke thru their plateaus. Then, we had lots of students working on forward overs & doubles. Layouts were becoming pretty common. And, almost everyone had a swing to differing degrees. Then was a great time. (Happy birthday to my Aunt!)
