‘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. 🙏🏼
