Saturday, September 1, 2007, Brooklyn, NY

It was a nice show of force w/many good flyers starting off the day & a decent group of newbies ending it off...!

Making the most of her time State-side, the lithe & worldly Emma S. worked on adding the half turn to her descent to the mat/net. The lovely Nicole A. honed her Uprise Fwd Over a bit before catching & returning her B/E Splits.


Feisty Galit E. brought Things 1's & 2's demure babysitter as well as friend Naftalie so the two could try out our passion. Both the babysitter & Naftalie made their 1st KH catches!

Galit's baby sitter's KH:


Galit dusted off her Flexus & managed to snag a Flexus Flexus soon after!


Workaholic, type A Marisa B. took time away from the legal world to work on her Layout:


The talented, beautiful Maya F. refrained from her Uprises (though she does them easily!) & made a nice B/E Splits catch & return. Tense-bodied, jovial Paulina R. almost perfected her Pull Over Shoot; she just has to get over her fears of colliding w/catchers!


The group of newbies did well for their 1st times! They included Sandy, Jen, Winnie, Sarah B. & token-male Sean F. Pulling their best tricks out just in time for catching, friends Sandy, Winnie & Jen each made their 1st catches! Sarah B. did so well that she was pretty much a text book example of a Knee Hang as she made her catch for her 1st time, too!

Jen's Knee Hang catch:


"To cement a new friendship, especially between foreigners or persons of a different social world, a spark with which both were secretly charged must fly from person to person, and cut across the accidents of place and time." - The Ape in Me, 1959, Cornelia Otis Skinner
