Loop-de-loop

Today, in service of learning to do better inside choctaws, I learned Schafer pushes (N.B. this person's individual ones are correct, but her sequence is wrong; however, you get the idea). They're one of those things that are incredibly evil and you despair of ever understanding them, until they click and you wonder why they were so hard. I think I may eventually come to like these.

P had me do my sit spin from back crossovers, and rather than the disaster I expected, it...improved it dramatically? I got four or five centered revolutions after getting to the sit position (well, the closest I can get to it right now), versus two revs to get to the right position, two more in it, then all but falling out of the spin.

As threatened last week, she moved the loop jump out from the wall, and it went reasonably well. P was very pleased because I've apparently got the entrance pretty much down, I just don't wait long enough on the edge for it to pop me into the air and rotate. Now I just kind of muscle off the ball of my foot and...hop in place. Sometimes I actually land on the same foot, as opposed to flailing and landing on my left foot. As you might imagine, it is very hard one one's back to do that. I need to figure out rotation soon.
