The day I went for a front flip

My first time attempting a front flip was at Maes-Y-Coed centre, and to say the least it was the most exciting time I had on stilts! Before I could even land it on the crash mat I went to the bay with Matt and Jeeves one day after training, we were doing the basic stuff because I’d only had a month on my new 7 league stilts. You know basic stuff like jumping up and down steps and pushing to get more height. Then Locky and Jeeves said I should try to vault, after I vaulted Locky wanted to do a backflip so he went to do one, just before he went for it he said if he landed it I would have to do a front flip! At that time he didn’t think I was going to attempt it on concrete. Matt landed his backflip I was like, “Oh God I’m next!”   They didn’t even think I was going to do it but I had to now since I said I would. This was my first time to attemppet a front on the concrete, before I could even land it in the gym on the crash matt and outside on the grass and even before Jeeves! And do you know what I nearly landed it, I had a little under rotation and landed on my butt! I’m still learning but I’m more confident in doing them, won’t be long until am doing them like any other trick!
