Progress - it is indeed not linear
Second post. Whaaat! I thought I would write a little bit about making progress in flying trapeze. It is after all...a journey ;) What I have found so far is that progress in indeed not linear... In your first few classes you usually learn a new set trick each class (starting with a knee hang, maybe a knee hang release after that, set split/straddle etc). And then you start to learn how to swing. Boy oh boy.. I have never felt less coordinated than when I started learning that... For reference, here is a video I put together of my swing evolution from April to August: And here is a swing from class yesterday: Still a million things to work on.

And so many other things that I won&#
