Experiencing the "big skills": Erin and Thea can do double backs....
....just not by themselves (Haha...April Fool's! Ok, ok...that was lame).
During Winter Break (December 27, 2007), I put Erin and Thea in the spotting belt to experience tumbling double backs. They actually did pretty well (they've done doubles in the belt on regular trampoline before).

This is Thea January 4, 2008:
I like the way she lands off the mat and onto the floor, then immediately jumps onto the safety mat:
Thea asked to try some one more time, a couple of weeks before the gym closed down; but her tumbling is inconsistent and that day she was off (I even "dropped" her on her head on one of them- my fault...sorry Thee).

Oh, fancy!
I'm suprised how high I punched. I remember being nervous, and sometimes nerves make me go harder on tumbling just so I don't hurt myself. Usually then I over rotate and then fall or something, but since I was in the belt that couldn't happen.
Thanks Michael!
