In the grass or on carpet I can't, or aren't willing to try to do flips and tricks galore. But when we went to Splitz, it was a whole other story. I willingly tried to do a sommersalt in the air, bounce off a trampoline and smack onto a foam cushion, and even cartwheeling on the springy floor.
Whatever I was previously afraid to do was now accessable in the facility. I could do anything I had always imagined of doing, like swinging on a rope as if I were a monkey, or jumping on the balance beem like a seasoned athlete.
In all of my fun and bouts of courage I even tried to do a hand stand, I did one successfully for about 3 seconds, then fell on my head. But all in all I was willing to try, something I wouldn't have done unless it was academic. And I truly did have fun, and even if I never ever jump into a foam pit again, at least I can say I tried and succeeded.
