Fly through the air with the greatest of ease....

Look at me go!



Update: Let me give you a bit more detail....

Despite my terribly stern look, it was a fabulously good time. As you might imagine, it does take quite a bit of concentration, and that is why I don't look like I'm having a good time.

This was a Learn to Fly session at the Crossings here in Austin. I did this with my friend Rebecca. I totally want to do it again.

The purpose of this class was to learn the following maneuver

1. Grab the bar
   
2. Jump off the platform
3. Hook your legs over the bar
4. Let go of the bar with your hands
5. Swing upside-down once
6. Grab the bar again
7. Do a 'reverse somersault' down to the net

If we did well, then later in the class, after step 4, instead of swinging upside down, after we hooked the bar with our legs and then let go, we would then look for the catcher, and if timing was right, we would grab onto him, and let go of the original bar with our legs.

I did very well, and so here is a Picassa album of me going through one entire time from start to finish.
