One of the problems with teaching acro to adults, I gather, is finding coaches. We tend to wear them out quickly. Spotting kids is easy. Grownups weigh a ton, and our  brains get in the way of being able to do moves our bodies could do. Hence, it was a wonderful thing when I was doing "bouncy cartwheels" on the air track last night and I said to my coach, "I really feel like I could do an arial on here," and he said "Next turn I'll spot you." He doesn't normally spot unless he knows you can do a move already, and just need the little bit of confidence to push you over. Not like it helped. One of my hands still insisted on going on the ground. But, it didn't touch hard. Next class it will go better! Here's a drawing I did during a meeting last week. That's what my hands should do. Alas.

2 cups milk 3 scoops vanilla frozen yogurt 2 red delicious apples, cored and quartered 1/4 cup caramel sauce 1/4 cup peanuts 1 banana Blend for 30 seconds, minimum. Serves 3. Constant readers will notice a theme with all my smoothies... We learned a new acro trick this week: Front roll headspring ! The videos seem to be mostly martial artists, which seems funny, though coach Dan did say it's an old trick, and the younger coaches wouldn't even know it. He puts a bit of effort into finding new, interesting things for us recreational people to do.
