Lose Control

It seems that lately there has been an abundance of trampoline gyms popping up around Northern Utah.  I've been wanting to go to one for a while, but then there's the whole money problem, and of course if you know me very well, you know how prone to accidents I am, so I figure it wouldn't be the best idea for me to be trying to do tricks.  Well, I've been doing a lot of things lately that I wouldn't have thought I would do.  This last week was spring break, and I didn't end up going anywhere.  So we got a group together and went down to Provo to go to the Lowe's Xtreme Air Sports Gym, since they have a student discount.  I was pretty timid at the beginning, mostly just jumping from trampolines or trapeze into the foam.  I kept trying to build up courage to do a flip, but I kept imagining myself landing on my head.  But, I finally did it, and then kept doing it.  We finally got a video by like the seventh time.


Pretty lame, I know.  But, it gets worse.  Apparently, I'm not suited to be an astronaut.  As we were leaving, I felt pretty dizzy, and a little carsick as I rode back to Salt Lake.  It got better over time, but then when I finally got out of the car again, I felt dizzy.  I thought I pulled myself back together, but apparently not because I just passed out onto Heather's car.  I was fine, and then the next thing I knew, everybody was asking me if I was okay and all my stuff was scattered across the ground.

So, that's that.  I am determined to go to another one, and not pass out next time.  And maybe I can do something at least a little bit cooler than just a flip.  I'll have to see if maybe Heather or somebody else more talented than me can teach me to do something.
