‘The Walrus 5000’ and ‘The Walrus 5500’, named for our friend Greg, .wallrus who is ‘semi retired’ from acro but we used to make fun of him for only making machines that were a variation on Pick Pocket. (In all seriousness though, he is a legend and we miss him and we love him). He once named a machine wrote the ‘Filchy 5000’. And so, this name was born. I flew the Walrus 5000 on .arman and he was like ‘Too many hands’ so we took one away, and we jokingly called it The Walrus 5500. It’s our favorite thing right now - the 5500 can go so fast!! Greg was an acro speed demon, so it seems appropriate. Reverse bird, back fly, reverse inside star, foot swap and around again. Next, totally hands free?
I am healing from the trauma of my accident well. 🚙🤯 Driving is still scary. I have not been back on the 405. I have nightmares. My lower back and neck still hurt, but we are easing back into acro. It’s frustrating, and also I’m so grateful to move. 🙏🏼

When .in.acroland and I were talking about what kind of shapes we wanted to make during this shoot, we immediately bonded over how inspired we’d been for years by &

The first room in my imagined Acro Hall of Fame.
This is our interpretation of one of their classics.
There’s something really special about this communication through body shapes across time and space, like a global call and response. You can hardly imagine the impact you have on other people! I think that will always be a novelty for me.

To get really good at something, you have to take it a little too seriously. To enjoy it, you have to remember how ridiculous it is. A promise I’ve made to myself recently is to give myself time and space to do both. 🤍
On a more specifically relevant note… This forearm to forearm balance is my all time favorite pose in acro, both basing and flying. But it’s hard to find people who like it - I think it’s a physiology thing. But it’s the only inversion I never had to work for - a respite for me in a movement world I’ve always had to work overtime to develop skills in.
mvmt is dreamy to fly on and such a big sweet heart. I was super stoked when he said he’s one of those bases who likes to make this shape happen. So, it happened. Thanks friend!!

Acro has reshaped the way I think about my body. My flat feet that didn’t have enough structure to run or jump well with, even after surgery, are pillowy soft for flyers. The ‘great divide’ as my mother described the space between my breasts as a teen, that makes womanly cleavage much less likely, is perfect for .in.acroland’s foot to fit. (To name just a few!) Sometimes you just haven’t found the right fit yet, and that thing you don’t like about you, is actually great. 💕
We were inspired by ’s cool pose from the logo back in 2023. Check out her stuff! She’s incredible. 🤩

Dog days of my Bali days… 🌺. Happy I got to make it down to Uluwatu to see this guy …and bonus, got to meet his family! 👶🏼🤰🏼
Happiest of birthdays to my acro wifey !!! You’re a bad ass queen, and deserve to be spoiled. I hope you have the best time. 👑🥳🎁🎉
Also, this little sequence we did yesterday gave me life.
and I playing with alternate endings to and ’s machine ‘Avalanche’.
This week I taught a class empowering students to develop the tools for creating their own path between poses, encouraging them to get creative and to work together to solve a puzzle. I taught two beginner friendly poses in very different Flyer orientations, (front plank and reverse throne), and students had 10 minutes to work together to come up with a way to get between the two poses, and then present it to the group. I loved seeing the variety, and how excited each group was to share.
And on the whole, the class was really well received. Students came up to me after class saying they had never considered that they could come up with their own stuff, they’d only ever tried to recreate what they’d seen before. Both are great! But when you start to tap into your own creative power, everything becomes so much more expansive, and you get more curious, and you push more boundaries.
So here’s a mix of those ideas - recreating content developed by two of my faves, and then asking, Ok, but where else could we take it? The end result? A giggling people puddle… but this might inspire something bigger next time that we can build on. 💕
Cute lil’ figure of 8 flow with a ‘Naked Singularity’ moment, with the always graceful and absolutely pleasure to fly, 💕
This is a and original that we co-wrote a few years ago, but we were never able to string it all together. We could do the parts, but not the sum. We revisited it recently because I kept thinking about some of the moves in this and how cool I think they are. It still needs some finessing before it’s something we could do continuously but I’m too excited about it not to post… so here you go! I call it ‘King Crocodile’. Because it’s a BEAST. 🐊👑
