Back we go for more...!
Plan on about 3 hours to travel, and allow about half an hour to prep...(change, sunscreen, water, restroom, etc...)
Prep:
The instructors all said it was just as much your mind as your body that enabled you to do the tricks, but I figured if I was in better shape it would have been easier....I'd recommend doing a couple hundred sit ups every day the week before.
If you've already had a lesson or two, you can join this class. And if you're a beginner, you'll get full instruction and lots of support and guidance before your first time up.
Kids are also welcome, please check the TSNY website for their guidelines regarding kids. If you would like to bring more than two guests, please ask them to join the group and RSVP for the event. The email activated waiting list is in effect!
What to Wear:
Snug workout clothes work the best. And wear a shirt you can tuck in (for when you're hanging upside down!) There is a changing area if you'd like to bring something else to wear for afterward. Definitely bring two pairs of socks! You won't wear shoes on the trapeze, but a pair of clogs or sandals to wear while on the ground makes things easier. Bring something warm to wear while you're on the ground waiting for your turn.
Cost:
$54 per person! If you go on your own they're $65 plus a $20 reservation fee, so major discounts! YEAH!! The cost includes a 2 hour lesson and instruction.
Transportation:
Carpool (will post spreadsheet!) OR
Chinatown bus (Chinatown is not very far at all! :)
I will ask everyone to send me their phone number before the event, and send you mine as well.
Cancellations:
We were expecting to be inside, but the rig is still outside at this time. The school will call me by 9 am if the weather looks bad and it will be canceled. I'll email and text everyone who has sent me their phone number. As of Monday 11/9/09, AccuWeather is predicting nothing but sunshine for the entire weekend though!

It was a lot of fun and I'd definitely like to go again. I can't wait to see everyone's pics. It was nice meeting everyone!
Post photos please!! I got some videos, will post them to our Facebook page and link here also :)
glad everyone had fun! We earned a lot of free classes; rather than give someone a free class, We'll spread the discount over everyone who attends time (and probably the time after that too :) Next class in late February or early March!
I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. I wish I could have stayed for an after event hangout. but the pups were unattended (2 weeks til they are ready for adoption if anyone is interested)
Any thank you for planning a wonderful day!!! I met some great people and am looking forward to the next event I can attend!
THANKS AGAIN
Della (Dee)
a big shout out to our trainers... Mandy rocked! and everyone was so supportive...thanks
I had so much fun today with you guys!! I was soooo scared, but everyone was so nice & supportive of each other, it definitely helped! (I was impressed with myself that I even made it up the ladder!) Can't wait to do it again!
never assume that i know where i'm going anywhere, any time. :) I didn't drive last time, i have no idea!
Amy, I will drive. It would be great to have you. Besides you know where you are going!! I can take at least one or two more to make four. My request is the passengers pay the tolls. Good Times!! I am excited!!
If you're driving Jess, I'll be a passenger.... no one has updated their tatus on the carpool spreadsheet yet, so if I cant get I ride I'll probably have to take the Chinatown bus!!
Looking forward to meeting you too Della!
Is there a car pool?
I am so very excited, I have always wanted to do this and looking forward to meeting everyone
I'm SO sore from yesterday's lesson, but I can't wait until the next one!
photos from our trip today coming soon!
