I'm Acrobatic
I am going to write about me being acrobatic. For most of my life, if not all of my life, I have been acrobatic. I also like doing dangerous things. I did my first back flip in third grade. This happened when I used to run wildly on the playground at recess. I also, back when I was in eighth grade, I used to go very high on the swings (at recess) and jump off. I did this very often. My friends and I used to have contests to see who could jump the farthest and the highest off of the swings. I also used to do a back flip off of the swings. I think I was the only one of my friends that did this. I would swing very high and then jump off when I got to the top. However, when I did this, I would not just jump off, I would jump off and do a back flip in the air and land on my feet. I would also hang upside down on the handlebars with just my legs. I would also do something called a penny drop off of the handlebars. This is when you hang upside down on the handlebars with just your legs touching the handlebars. Then you swing upside down, without putting your hands on the handlebars. Then while doing this, you let go of the handlebars with your legs and swing around, doing a back flip in the process. Later on, when I used to live in Florida, I got a trampoline. I was about eleven years old when I got it. I was so happy, and I bought it with my own money (well my little sister chipped in by paying about twenty or thirty dollars). I used to do crazy stuff on this trampoline. I used to do like ten or more back flips in a row, without a bounce in between. I also used to do like ten or more front flips in a row, without a bounce in between. I also used to do double back flips and double front flips. I also used to do twists. I did a nine hundred and a ten eighty. I also used to do twist back flips and twist front flips. I did seven twenty back flips and five forty front flips. I also used to do other acrobatic flips and tricks on the trampoline. All this trampoline fun was over when my trampoline broke when I was about fourteen or fifteen, after I moved to Georgia. I was so disappointed when this happened. I wanted to still use it, but my parents thought it would be safe if I got rid of it. So, we through it in the garbage. After this, I then learned how to do a standing back flip (one without running and without doing a round off into it). Then, after this, I learned how to do a three sixty back flip. I also learned how to do a wall flip about a year or two ago. Recently I have been having back problems that will kind of limit how often I flip. I really do not flip much now that I am a little bit older, but I do flip every once in a while. I will soon learn how to do a standing three sixty back flip and a seven twenty back flip.
