This saturday was great, the weather on the other hand was terrible, but there was a solution.

The steel city gym, there are alot of cool things in this gym, to start off the floor is sprung and there are bloody hundreds of mats, and there are vault boxes and other assorted bits and bobs.

The best thing was the sponge pit which let me practice flips without fear of landing funny and hurting myself.

After a bit of gentle persuasion i was ready to try a backflip on the floor, and found that when i was comfortable landing on the floor that it became easy to learn and progress.
