Keeping track of trapeze tricks

I’d been singing in choirs for much of my life before I realized I couldn’t remember all of the names of all of the pieces I’d learned. I’ve kept some records since then, but every now and then I’ll hear a piece in a movie and remember–oh! the summer when I was 15 in New Jersey!

  • Back flip
  • Heels off whip
  • Set straddle whip

I’ve learned to catch (that is, be caught) from the knee hang and the heels off whip. Here’s my newest trick, the set straddle whip:
