__**My First Flip**__

SWOOSH I went spinning in the air. I had just flipped on the trampoline. It felt like I was doing a really fun roller coaster that makes people sick but I did it.

"MOM I have just learned how to flip and I want to show you" I screeched in the window.

My mom as slow as a snail came to the backyard. She lazily spook " let me see your flip but make it quick because it is almost dinner and it is on the stove."

I announced eagerly " OK but I can't land it yet." I did the flip and almost landed it. Did you see that mom. I almost landed it and it felt great." I yelled to my mom on the patio.

"Yes I did" she screeched back to me. "And it looked great but i would get higher in the air so you don't break your neck and try doing it a little more strait ." My mom announced to me

Flips are not easy but once you build up the confidence, you can do it. I used to be scared to do a flip but when I did one it was so exciting.

When I first tried I was like " Mom I can't do because I don't want to break my neck!"

"you won't break anything I f you do it right." My mom calmly announced to me.

I wilI kept working at the flips until finally I landed it again and again. I was so good I could even land it before my sister could. Here are some helpful hints when you do flips.(1) Do not try a flip on hard ground until you can land it on a trampoline. (2) DO NOT TRY A BACK FLIP UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO. (3) When you first try a flip, try a knee flip first. (4)Try to get as high as you can so you don't break a bone. (5) Once you can land a flip on flat feet then try flipping without jumping. This is how learned how to do a flip.
