Mmmhmm, acro tonight, and I had little first-time victories with three different bases. My favorite is the one I'm calling the "up and flip" -- it's the Dirty Dancing move (up to high overhead bird), and then the base gives a little toss, and the flyer does a 180 degree flip in the air to land in a backbend on the base's hands. I practiced it with Scooper last week. This week I rocked it with the Ant, first in safety lines and then out of them. So glad I got to do something good with him... he's been away and now he's leaving again for two weeks, so it's nice that tonight was solid.

And with Scooper I managed to fast-walk-and-jump into high bird without using my hands at all -- just a big blind leap into space with a sudden rush of power coming in under my hips out of nowhere. Those boys and their lifting power are still amazing to me, no matter how much I work with them.

Neither one got the weird "flyer rolls up the base's back" trick we did before that, but someone I'll call Krazy Kat did. So I got to be the first one to nail that, too. ;-) Happy flyer. A nice change from a couple of weeks ago when I was super discouraged... usually my favorite thing about myself as an acrobat is the happiness, and it's baaaaacccckkk. Doing new-but-accessible things with my favorite bases is pretty much the recipe.

Written last night, obviously. I had more to say about work and life, but now I'm trying to do a quick work-thing before leaving for a private handstand lesson. I guess that gives you a hint.
