I always love seeing friends, making new friends, flying, catching, working the lines & board, but there are those special days when I can barely wait to get to the rig! Our Sunday was filled w/many different levels of flying (all of it fun & good), lots of old friends & some new ones!
The diverse & agile Ann W. practiced many of her cool flying tricks including her Cut Away Half & Full Twisting Layout. She finished out her class w/a Splits catch & return.

After really getting her Turn Around down well for her 1st times, the beautiful & very adept Maya F. remounted the pedestal board for her 1st time ever! She easily made a Straddle Whip catch & return:
Maya's Turn Around:
The lithe & worldly Emma S. got her Planche Turn Around smoothly (twice!):
Newcomer, Ian S., quickly learned & perfected his Knee Hang before making some nice catches! We'll be seeing him again soon! And, our Dap practiced his Set Planche in his 2nd flying class ever.
The amazing Christine C. had a field day w/her flying & catching! She not only made two clean Cut Away Half catches (ready for returns!), but also practiced her Reverse Suicide, Force Out Turn Around, Rudy (Cut Away 1 1/2) & Double Back Tuck! (I even hung a few times to try to catch her Double!) I got to cleanly catch her Fwd Over, and she ended off her class w/her B/E Splits Straddle Cut/Catch! Though she's done other circus apparatus, tiny Paulina was a newcomer to flying as she learned her Knee Hang & Set Split before making a number of KH catches!
Our complex Susie W. practiced her Face Off & B/E Straddle Whip out of lines. The source-of-all-balls, our Randy K., took his Double Fwd Under AND Double Reverse Fwd Under out of lines.
Randy's Double Fwd Under:
And, I, Dino, got my 360 Pirouette again! After nearly snagging the bar again on my 2nd Piro in a row, I laughed hard at how much fun that trick is when you get it! I love this stuff!
All the while, we had many other aerialists including Laura W., Natalie D. & her Aaron working on their silks skills. There were even a few chains acts being practiced. The buxom Tera was teaching clinical psychologist Susan on the static trapeze. It was like a ninja training camp!

Thanks for capturing my new trick. Now if only we could remember to pick up the camera when you are on the bar - it's a shame not to have those pirouettes on film!
