Dana, didn't mean any disrespect. I am new too, I just bumped from sportsman the end of last year. I just meant to say, don't be so concerned with your out of box maneuvers, or making things perfect.

Your first goal is to know the names of the moves, so you can fly them when they are called. You will soon feel a rhythm, and it feels good.
