Alyssa just loved flying. Once she had mastered flying in circles, decided that she was going to try flying in a figure 8.

'Who knows one day they might name this manoevre after me. The Potter Loop.' Alyssa smiled to herself.

Grinning to herself, she first leaned forward on her broom to pick up a little more speed and when she was ready, she leaned to the left, pointing her broom handle to the left. When she started turning to the left, Alyssa flew a little in that direction and then leaned to the right pointing her broom handle to the right. She had now formed the bottom curve.

She continued flying towards the right and when she estimated that she was almost where the top loop would form, she leaned back to the left again, pointing her broom handle to the left and started to make the top loop. She continued turning towards the left, until she had flown the top loop, then she straighened out her broom handle to fly straight a little before leaning to the right again, with her broom handle pointed in the same direction.

Soon Alyssa arrived where she first started her figure 8.
