Sometimes the perfect plan and/or trick sometimes does not go quite a planned.
Go ahead and have a good laugh at my expense...

Not really luck... Brad is my main coach for ACRO stuff, and two days after this reserve throw he worked me through my first Tumbles. Total trust going on with Brad, as I am doing my hardest to do exactly what he is tellling me... even though I wanted to throw the reserve within the first ten seconds, I forced myself to try and do exactly what he was telling me. The guys who don't trust the coach and go rebel with their actions are the ones that get hurt in these clinics. Watch my first tumbles video... Even though that is my absolute first tumble attempt, and I am definitely freaking out, I am doing exactly what Brad is telling me... although you can't hear it very clearly on the video. Once it becomes muscle memory after a few trys, the Brad will let me go for it on my own, but is always in my ear to correct timing mistakes... and I am always listening for his instruction.
Fun stuff for sure, Jon |

Hey All,
Wheeeee, coming into Hood River on Thursday evening. Planning to kite mostly, but my new ACRO wing from Nivuik is showing up while I am in town. Looking for rides from the Bingen river park to the top of Hospital. Hoping for a calm evening that I can get three to four rides up for some hucking heaven...
See everyone over the 4th...
