Arrow to the TOP

So...my teacher told me to cheat into ball to the top of the hoop. And then I was able to get into this pose. YAYNESS! The pictures aren't the best, I was spinning a bit. I'll definitely be working on this move more and will get better shots as I get more comfortable.

The first few tries, my teacher was spotting the hoop, to make sure it stayed in place (can see how it tips to the side a bit). But this particular try, since she had the camera, I was on my own for the dismount. I came back into ball, tucked, pulled as hard as my baby muscles would pull, and sat back down on the hoop. All without assistance. It was glorious.

I certainly didn't think I'd be doing this today when I got up this morning...
