I Believe I Can Fly

On New Year's Day, Rich, Mark, Tifani and I took a Flying Trapeze class at Trapeze School New York. This event was my birthday gift to Rich as I thought it would a fun and unique experience for all of us. We were all pretty excited about it until we got there and realized what we were being asked to do. Jump off a 23 foot platform? Dangle from your knees? Do a FLIP?

For the first half of the class, everyone - including myself - was pretty ticked at me for making them do it. But by the end, we agreed that it was such a cool and exhilarating experience that we want to go do it again.

Tifani took some awesome video of Rich and I performing our final task of the class - making a catch!!

  4. I wish there was Mark Derbecker and Tifani Blouin video!! TIf was the videographer, and she started after she and Mark had already done their AMAZING catches. We're just going to have to do it all over again so we can get better media.
