This Thursday, we were making some omelets...!
We started off this Thursday w/the Catcher's Workshop. Those learning our catcher's trade included the endearing Suzanne M., the feisty Galit E., Type A Elena G., the burly Erik T., the stately Ross M., the complex Susie W., and newcomers-to-trapeze Eli, Phillip & Sebastian.
One time before taking off for a catch, the wonderful Allegra G. mentioned she never made a return off her B/E Straddle Whip catch. She then promptly made her 1st full round trip w/her B/E Straddle Whip catch w/our Manny! Great work, Allegra! Strong Lex R. stopped by to get some quick flying in before attending to another engagement. Nurse Leslie W. made some headway w/her B/E Splits. The adorable Lauri W. is getting her tempo even better! You're getting there, Lauri! Keep it up! The elegant Maryam W. & perma-positive Jen R. both remounted the pedestal board for their 1st times!!
Here's Maryam's remount:
And, here's Jen's remount:
Galit E. got fully around w/her 540 Pirouette more than ever before! This is her last session w/us for a month. Galit, you'll be greatly missed. The French Emmanuelle C. is remounting the board more smoothly! She's also catching her Hox Off & working the return better, too! Clinical psychologist, Susan, is taking things back to basics by conquering her take-off before throwing some nice Set Straddle Whip catches. We tried something new w/Elena G. Repeatedly, she accomplished her B/E Splits into her Straddle Cut/Catch in my hands! We were even going for the returns w/this combination! Great work, Elena!
Elena's B/E Splits into Straddle Cut/Catches:
Yes, it was a good day, indeed! Trying new things, accomplishing all the while! We've been breaking eggs for a while; now, we're making those omelets...!

Dino! Yes, I'd love to throw you all my exciting new tricks. That second Louganis was really close! Hal told me if I do a double it can be called a double Lougie...Ha Ha:) Anyway, I am sad I am not able to participate in the catcher's workshop, but want to put together a "catcher's chart" for myself of tricks, where to hang and where to call the flyer off the board. Also, general rules/adjustments for kids/tall flyers/etc. I feel like every time I get up on the catch trap I have to ask, then I forget once I get on the ground and have to ask again the next time. Does such a chart exist already? If I put together a simple chart, will you help me fill it in? I will fly Monday and Wednesday next week if there are classes. Hope you'll be around for one of them. I leave next Friday!! Thanks for all your help and for this blog!
