It was day 1 yesterday and I must have fallen off at least 100 times. Nothing major though. There were a few all body falls but most were stumbles and not painful. My body is currently in pain though and I was sweating like a pig while practising. It’s hard work. I went three revolutions on 3 occasions. All other attempts were either half or one revolution.

ckn 14,037 Report post Posted November 30, 2018 I have a family funeral to attend next Friday. This will be the one that makes this year have the most funerals I've ever attended in a single year. The perils of getting older I take it... the alternative isn't very appealing though!

Bit harsh mate, I've got relatives I don't get on with but saying the alternative to them being dead is unappealing goes further than I would be happy with admitting on a public forum.
