After much work, I finally CAUGHT my Straddle Flip tonight at @ectrapeze!

When I saw my instructor Colleen throw this trick as a dismount almost a month ago, I was excited to give it a try. As I soon learned, this is not an easy trick - there's a lot of precision to it and it's incredibly unforgiving of timing mistakes. Timing is not exactly my strongest suit as a flyer - I tend to anticipate - so this trick took a lot of discipline for me to learn. After 13 tries in practice, I was finally certified to go for a catch and threw it across to Brian "Catching Dreams" Flint on the first try.

So exciting! :-)
