A Lesson in Flying

Trapeze Lesson!

Adam saw one of those LivingSocial coupons to Trapeze Austin so we picked 'em up and decided to give it a try. It was exhilarating and terrifying all at the same time. I still can't believe how much we were able to do in just a couple of hours (and that *I* was willing to).

I guess I figured for your first time, you would just get up there and swing back and forth a few times. We ended up hanging upside down, got to do a trick with a "catcher" - where you grab onto another person, learned some upside down on-the-bar flair too, as well as how to do a back flip off the bar onto the net. Yowza!

I left thinking the hardest part was jumping off the platform...seems like once you've done that the adrenaline takes over. I had so much fun, and the people were incredibly nice, and supportive.
