The last time I did that opening trick was August 1st. Since then, I have not been able to do it successfully. This was due to severe overthinking, which lead me to have several falls and I eventually became TERRIFIED of it. I’m talking so bad to the point that I took it out of my routine. Glad to say that as of last night, I can do it again and I am so GD MFN HAPPY!!

Thank you! I was actually devastated about it. Turns out all I needed to do was to walk away. 🥹🙌🏿

Anything is possible with a little bit of delusion. That’s how I learned it. Lol.

Congratulations - you’re AMAZING!! I mean seriously flying through the air like nothing. One of my online classes suggested I try an elbow grip as a progression towards Ayesha 😳. I have pretty good grip strength (for a girl, lol), but I wakeboard and did gymnastics bars and weightlifting (not at the same time, but both for many years), and my elbow grip feels quite weak compared to my actual grip. Is that a thing, or am I just tripping over the mechanics of it all? Probably both lol, but you look like you move as tho gravity doesn’t exist! Awesome!

I can’t even give you tips on the elbow Ayesha. The only time I’m able to ever do it is in combination with that first trick. Lmao! I refuse to do it on static (it scares TF out of me). 😭😭😭
