My first unassisted 360.

I've been doing private fabrics lessons with Megan, who is amazingly talented and gorgeous on the silks. The 360 drop is pretty scary, because you pitch face-first toward the ground, and you have let go of your hold and to trust that you will successfully grab the fabrics again, or you will maybe die. I'm not sure what would happen. I think I would not like to find out. Here's my first time:

that's awesome! that's usually been one of my favorite parts of a cirque show. Must be a high frame rate camera to catch that.

This rocks! I know how much you've been hoping to rule on the fabrics.
