sarah. washington, dc. (south jersey).
a random list of things i love:
would rather be at the barn, the beach or the trapeze rig.
cilantro, dark chocolate peanut butter cups, framed photographs, black tank tops, flying on the outdoor rig at night with fireworks overhead, the smell of new books, pitchers getting hits, kneehang sit ups, regal's peppermint breath.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Working my uprise on the outdoor rig
My current Facebook header. Flying OOL on the outdoor rig :)
Back flip (doing a kneehang/back flip w/ no calls is one of our tests for flying out of lines). And I kind of love this picture.
First swing out of lines.
May 10, 2011- I get permission to (attempt to) hang from a static bar (without actually picking my feet up) for the first time post-surgery.
May 10, 2012 - I take my swing out of lines.
Suffice to say, it’s been a hell of a year.
NYC Rig, Hocks off catch :)
Catching :) (backend hocks, I think)
Hanging out on the board before catches
Thinking about taking a class at TSNY (New York) over MLK Weekend…
Since I’ll be in town for the G’town/St. John’s game but I’m not sure I feel “ready” to fly with a new staff/on a new rig/to a catcher I’ve never met (not that any of these bothered me two years ago…)
I think I have this whole flying-after-surgery thing pretty well in hand (unassisted takeoff, backend tricks, turnaround) but I’m aware my swing still isn’t where it should be and I am a mess when it comes to working in hands.
On the other hand, it’s TSNY, so I should be in good hands, right?
I’m back. I still have so far to go, but I’m a flyer again. After 7+ months of hard work. So completely and totally worth it.
Throwing my backend hocks off to Mike at the TSNY DC IFW Show :)
