I started with some of my warm-up routine which included some splits stretching...
And some handstands.
Then it was time for the show. I called up Mom's friend Jill to see if she would participate. A hard negotiator, Jill cost me three green grapes, a bag of my favorite pretzels and two stickers. Her agent takes quite a stand. But it was worth it, I needed something to jump over, after all.
Pre-jump you can see the scene. Jill is in position, thousands of fans attending the event (you can't see them here, they are behind the cameraman) and I'm down the hall getting myself psyched.
And then it began... a swift sprint down the hallway... and... TAKEOFF!
The crowd went wild, the sponsors went berzerk and NBC said ratings were through the roof.
I, after such a taxing evening, had a small bowl of ice cream with some strawberries and went to bed.
