Wednesday night's flying turned out to be a fun staff training/fly...!
Our amazing Christine C. w/her great smile was on a mission to snag her Straddle Cut/Catch. She not only got it (twice!) but also tacked on her 1st Reverse Suicides (twice!) on the fly! Wish we got video of that! The strong Shem & mighty Cassandra J. were eating up their F/E positions like cookies, so they progressed onto the Pull Over Shoot which finally slowed them down! After crashing down on the bar a few (painful) times, they both learned that the Pull Over is more finesse than power. Shem bruised himself a little too much but got pretty much perfect Shoots! Cassandra finessed the Pull Over to make some rather decent Shoots. (You still have to catch most of these positions before really moving on...!!)
Amy G/W got back on the saddle by really going for her signature move, the Straddle Cut/Catch. She then had some fun w/a Double Cut Away!
Lizzy H. attempted her 1st Cut Aways ever & they were pretty much catchable right from the start! "Ace" (yes, Ace) showed us he can really keep his legs straight w/his swing if he really wants to. He dusted off his Uprise Shoot w/nary a sweat. And, YK H. not only practiced her Set Planche & honed her Pull Over Shoot to a catchable status but also started to feel & find the tempo of her swing! Great work, team!

Dino! I didn't know it was just your birthday...Happy Belated! Thanks again for your flattering comments - and for doing this blog - I feel a part of this wonderful flying community and it's great to learn from everyone else :)
Thanks, Christine! In yrs before, I used to have as big a gathering as possible. But, this time, I tried something a little different: I spread it out over a 3-day wkend filled w/grps of family, friends, flying, food & fun!
