First Frontflip

[FurryNipples]

Okay, this is one week since my powerizers arrived and they are great fun.

In a fit of overconfidence I went and had a blast and landing a front somersault. It started good, but didn't end so well as my stilts dug into the soft grass and send me forwards.

Fun was had though .



What can I do better, aside from everything?

Oh also, basketball is damn hard on powerbocks.








Notice I am not wearing safety equipment. Normally I am wearing a helmet, gloves and wrist supports but I forgot them on this occassion. ALWAYS WEAR YOUR LID.

Haha the most dangerous thing youve done so far and you forget the pads!

Well done with the flip though

[Kiola]

[Athoul]

Very nice, well done!

[Powergirl.]

I would have never of landed even if i tried! Your doing well since its only a week since they've come. I want to be able to do somersault, i have the height but not the confidence.

EITHER YOU'RE LYING OR COMPLETELY FARKING INSANE!!!!!!

Well done, excellent. I'd say tuck more, and get yourself somewhere proper to train!

Yeah I was thinking that when I did it, I'm a trampolinist at heart y'see.

We are supposed to be getting the use of a gymnastics club next week with a foam pit and crash mats and everything, but I don't know whether or not they'll let me take my legs in. What are some reasons I can use for letting me use them in thier club?

You could try the. "when people see these things at your gym it'll get a ton of attention and people will come from all over the world to train at your place."

or "I swear I won't get hurt or hurt anyone else"

or even the "Seriously though, they shouldn't damage any equipment."

also try the "Did I mention they are really cool? You wanna give it a go?!"

"Can I get some private lessons to help me flip better"?  Arrive w/the stilts for your first Private.  "I want to flip in these eventually" 

After some private lessons and when your getting the hang of it with no spotting.... and you know the lay of the land in the facility, then ask for some time  you can train on your own.  Mention you have some buddies that would like to do it too and how much would it cost them.  Mention you assume they will all need to sign some waiver or something like that and would they please give you coppies so you can get your friends involved.  Mention that they too would probably want some private lessons or maybe a private class.

Money talks.  Respect Backs it up.
