Our much missed Emma S. came to fly w/us again after taking some time off from the rig. The stupendous Suzanne M. gained a little more insight into her bigger swing, bringing her closer to some grander flying. The feisty Galit E. practiced her Pirouette's before going for some Mod catches w/our Cody. Wonderboy Brandon R. is looking really good w/his swing & his force out turn around ("touching brick" past the pedestal!). He took his 1st steps towards planting his feet on the board to eventually remount. It was really funny to hear everyone (students & instructors alike) chime in w/how he could do it better! I told Brandon that they're only taking opportunity to criticize him since this is the 1st time he hasn't done a trick or skill perfectly on his 1st try! Brandon also started on his Layout, finding the nuances that make it deffer from tramp to trap.
Hard-bodied Thais K. was a little off w/her Fwd Over this evening, so she made some nice catches & even made a full round trip on one of them! Nice work, Thais. Joining us in place of our Molly G., young, hard-working Leah B. started work on her Full Twisting Layout w/promising 1st tries. Then, Leah went on to make some nice B/E Splits catches w/me! Our Amy G. was honing her Fwd Over, throwing it well a few times in mechanic. Our agile, awesome trampoline instructor, Myriah P., took some fly time to try out that pesky Full Twisting whip w/some great initial results! Here's her one of her very 1st attempt:
Here's me demonstrating a Full Twisting Straight Jump for Suzanne M. to try next wk:
And, for the big news of the evening: Allegra G. took her Layout OOM for her 1st time! She traveled the 1st couple of them, but each got better & better. Here's her very 1st one:
B/c of the recent rain, here's my Mukti in his little raincoat:
(poor kid's not very happy w/his raincoat)
