Join the ladies on site from 10am-2pm May 1st for free classes, flying or otherwise. No experience is necessary, but flyers are required to be ages 4 and up, as well as 250 lbs or less. Participants are given full instruction and can watch a demonstration before beginning their experience. Flyers are coached by experienced staff on a basic trick. Flyers are in safety lines for their entire experience off the ground, so they can relax and have a good time. Some folks consider taking a swing a full experience, while others are trained to fly across to a professional catcher. “The momentum and timing of our instructions allow us to guide beginners through executing a successful trick their very first time. It is very rewarding to be a part of!” Aiken shares.
