Spring!

Finally it seems that mother winter is truly defeated. All snow is gone, and the warm sun is really warming now. I was out today with my girlfriend and our dog on the cliffs, and we just played around, playing with the dog, and I took the time to jump around. Train some precisions, stretch and train some handstands.

Also, I managed to do my first completly flawless backflip on grass today! I have done them before on flat ground, but alway landed on all fours basicly. This time I got good height, and good rotation. Tucking a little more and jumping more straight up instead of backwards. Felt so good! I was in a small chock that I managed to do it so smooth. I just thought. Heck, ill try one. And I did 4 - 5 right after just to make sure. And I nailed all of them. I feel really happy now, and it feels great that I managed to defeat my past goal of being able to do proper backflips on grass by this summer. Now I am aiming to do the round off back handspring on grass by this summer. And topping it off with a backflip would be nice ;)

We will see. On monday I will dedicate 2 hours in the gymnasium to pure back handspring training ;)

Now I am going to just sit back, and relax. Take care!
