He tried to flip his head over his paws, imitating Flamingarrow to the best of his abilities, but he could never actually finish the flip. He cake crashing down onto the hard training cave floor, landing smack on his side. The tom got up quickly, signifying that he was fine, but was panting a bit.

"I'm fine!" Burstpaw told his mentor, shaking off the fact that he'd fallen. It was almost supposed to happen, for apprentices normally didn't get advanced moves on the first try. I'll get it eventually. Falling down is just natural. "Uh... I don't think that's how it was supposed to go," He joked, giving off a weak smile. His orange tail flicked back and forth while his thoughts kicked up; reasons why the move went wrong and how he could potentially fix it. Maybe it's something to do with the tail more... or it could be that I have to start the rotation earlier... or perhaps I need to move my paws more?

Rlamingarrow watched carefully as the apprentice attempted to complete the move. He watched as he curled about half way around and neared the floor. He was already moving firearms when the thump of the apprentice's body smacked against the floor. He stopped though as he sprang up almost immediately. He checked him over carefully, green eyes ablaze with worry. "No, I don't think so." He said lightly. "Try my second move first. The one where you spin around horizontally, not vertically. Master that one and then we can practice the flip. I believe the timing of the flip was your downfall." He said his eyes still lingering over his body, checking for anything that looked out of place.
