Tails from the Trail - Friday, June 27

9.1 - 9.3 - 8.9 - 9.1 - 9.1

"If Dory had stuck the landing, she would have gotten much higher scores," man announcer said.
"Yes, I do agree, but her legs were bent during the 180-degree Schwing from Grace's neck," woman announcer added, "that just might have been enough to keep her out of contention for Beijing..."
Meanwhile a little, brown-and-black chipmunk covered his mouth and snickered in the bushes...

Dory and I had a great ride on a beautiful day with a little excitement sprinkled in by a PVDB Schwing Dismount by Dory in Independence Grove. It was Dory's first attempt at the Schwing, which is considered by some to be a higher-level-of-difficulty move.
The crowd, a friendly Mexican family of five, with their eyes as big as saucers and mouths agape, gasped as Dory schwung through the air around the front of Grace.
"Wooo, hoooo!" exclaimed Dory, "I'm OK!"
The crowd was visibly relieved. The chipmunk was still snickering.
