Handsprings ... finally!!! Out of the blue ...

Last night I tried a new pole studio and the instructor showed me how to put my hands for a twisted grip handspring.  She demonstrated one and told me it might be easier than split grip, so I think that gave me confidence to try.  (I've tried handsprings a million times and never gotten up).  So I tried it ... and I got it!  I did it three or four times there perfectly, then came home and showed my boyfriend.  Then I wanted to show him how a split grip handspring was different -- I told him it was harder and I couldn't do it yet.  So I tried a split grip handspring ... and nailed it too!!  It felt just the same!!   I just had to tell someone ... I've been banging away at the aysha for a year from an invert and felt sure I had the strength.  It was just body positioning -- i actually wasn't far enough away from the pole!  My boyfriend won't listen to how excited I am about it anymore so I'm telling you guys.  Eeeeee!!!
