Friday, October 12, 2007, Brooklyn, NY

Young James celebrated his birthday by taking a class & getting caught in front of his friends including Max, Gabe, Henry, Topher & Zack, among others.

During staff training, Eli worked the board very well, Lisa R. honed her lines pulling, Lizzy H. practiced her Layout Full, Amy G(W) practiced her lines & helped be a crash test dummy, Suzie W. practiced her Layout OOL, and Yoni got reacquainted w/the rig & catch trap.

In the class that followed, Billy made some nice improvements w/his swing. Naomi practiced & caught her Stag. Our hard-bodied Courtney G. learned her F/E Split & even learned how to get into her B/E Split w/a modified swing! Courtney's brother, John, made his 1st KH catch!

At the very end of the night, I got to catch our Lisa R.'s Layout (round trip, of course) & Amy G(W)'s Split. Then, both of these ladies accomplished full round trips w/B/E Splilts into Straddle Cut/Catches in my hands & back to the return bars & pedestal! Great flying, girls! Just wish we got that on video.

"I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." - Henry David Thoreau
