Tuesday Night gymnastics as always.


Every tuesday its gymnastics in Tswassen. We all had a purpose on tuesday. We had to train our individual parts for the stunt show that would start on friday. Maja and Katie worked on their sword fight and fall from the stairs. They set up some soft stairs out of the eight inch thick crash pads and reahersed thier fight up the stairs. The fight ends with a kick down the steps. They were able to recreate the location they would be fighting in in foam blocks and mats. This way the fight could be reahersed as safe as possible.
Other people were practicing their high falls of the wall of the gym into the foam pit below. this is so much fun everyone joined in. This was a smart idea in the long run because by the time we did the show it was clear that we would have to swop around roles in the show for verious reasons.






Falling is fun! Look at the foam pit. You may miss your target and land in the foam but its realy difficult to miss the wole pit and hit hard ground. On the day of the show we will not have this safetly zone so training now is very important. Mats are set up the same way they will be during the show and this gives us a chance to make mistakes and find our own techniques to the different fall durin the show.






After the serious training is done thats when we get to just mess around like any other tueday. Like running up the wall next to the trampoline.






We also get creative sometimes and this evening was no exception. It would be a science experiment. With a few big guys and little Katie


It was decided that we should try the old heave hoe


to see how far we could toss her, you know.



The results were much more then we had hypothisized.


No Katies were harmed in this experiment. Only a little foam it the eye.


Conclusion: Small girls if thrown by large men fly far.

Tomorrow I have Motion capture. So off to bed for me.
