Sunday Ria, Mandy and I were back at the Fly House doing circus tricks. Check out Ria on the high trapeze doing the mermaid. She’s making it look waaay to easy!

I was proud of my self for not only getting on the trapeze without much trouble, but also hanging on long enough to do the mermaid. (Waiting for the picture from another student, but I’ll post when she emails it)

Attempting the locust – I’m suppose to cross the fabric in front of me and then flip backwards over it. I’m going to have to work on that one more next week.

See! So exciting! I’m hanging by my hand and foot.

My arms hurt a lot less than they did last week – I’m going to get a pull-up bar so I can work on my arm strength at home. I also have a bruise on my ass from sitting on the trapeze. Can’t wait for next week!

    This is SO cool! I wish I lived near a larger city, and had the option to participate in this sort of thing. I can imagine this is great for the balance-challenged (ME!).

    You ladies make this look way too easy. I want to go SO bad now. I get more and more jealous each week I see these photos. If you all continue to post them I just might have to randomly show up on a Sunday :)

    Wow, this looks like so much fun – I’m jealous!

    you look like a natural on the trapeze! i’m totally planning on mastering the locust, what’s not to like flipping upside down and what not. did you try the lounge one? you could probably do that easy because you’re so good at climbing. hopefully the bruise on your ass will heal by next week :)

    ria – i didn’t get to try the dirty hippie lounger or whatever it’s called hahah. i need to work on doing the foot lock in the air so i can try some of the tricks higher off the ground. i saw you doing it super fast, you’ll have to give me some tips next week.
