I discovered I could ss as a youngster of about 14, while watching an afternoon cartoon after school. I had tried a few times (legs over head), and on this one day my tongue flicked the tip. I couldn't believe it! I thought my arm or t-shirt must have brushed over it. Then I tried again, and I could do it! I sat there feeling a real buzz, but had to put it away as my parents got home from work. That night, while waiting for bedtime, I snuck into the bathroom a few times to have a go, but was frustrated at my options: cold tiled floor, or wicker trunk, neither comfortable for ss. Thay night, waiting, was one of the longest nights of my life, far longer than waiting for santa claus! Since then I have refined my style and am an accomplished master of the art, I can get it all in! good luck guys, keep on stretching - you'll get there!
