abka: trapeze rig in Baltimore at sunset (trapeze)

Tuesday I abandoned pullover shoot for the time being and started working on my swing (on Brian's advice). We started on back half and I totally wasn't getting enough power on my backward sweep or the shape of the 7 at all. (Don't worry if this makes no sense.) Swing takes months or years of work, it basically gives you height so you can perform more complicated tricks.

Tonight I had a class with Jill (her first class). She was so awesome, making both her knee-hang catches! I continued to work on my swing (entries are going to get pretty repetitive after this, sorry). I made real progress, getting the 7 so we started to work on the entire thing. I'm also feeling stronger and more confident on my one-handed takeoff thanks to some tips from Neil. All-in-all a great class! There were two super-cute little girls 6 and 10 who flew. The entire class was women and everyone was really nice. Afterwards a bunch of us went out to Rocket Bar. It was a fun Friday night (that had started out wonderfully at J.'s birthday party.)

Happy 4th everyone!
