I recently talked about why I like acro so much and how I came to find this awesome practice and community. If you care to read it here's the link.
I'm not going to lie, I've had ups and downs and stages where I feel I have plateaued and feel frustrated and almost lose all interest. But when I don't believe in myself, my acro friends do and that helps me try again and I surprise myself at the possibilities. Many aspects of life work like that.
I shared a picture of the first time I got on someone's feet. Well, being those feet for someone else just seemed ridiculous at the time. Something I surely would never do. But one day I did. I have seen many people on my feet with that same expression I once had... "The first flight face" I call it.
And one day I was able to base TWO FLYERS!!! I'm not making that up, here's proof:
And I kept it up, at some point I started challenging myself, moving beyond static poses and daring to handle a moving flyer through a flow and providing a safe base for them. I have proof too!!!
This video of me basing my friend is a "washing machine" (loops of transitions). This is the first washing machine I learned to fly and now to base. It's called Ninja Star and then I threw some other balances in there.
I'm super happy to keep developing skills and looking at myself and thinking "Yeah... you're a badass"
Keep on Flowing!!!
