As Alyssa waited her turn in line, she planned her strategy. Remembering the heights of each of the hoops now, she planned how approach would be for each of the hoops. The red hoop was the hovering at the lowest height, so she would approach it from underneath it and fly up and through it. While she was ascending, she would make her way to the orange hoop and fly through that from the same direction, underneath up and over.

Since the yellow hoop was higher than then the 2 before, Alyssa would continue to climb until she wasflying above the hoop and for this hoop she would fly downwards through the center and end up underneath the hoop. From there, she would start her descent as she headed towards the green hoop. Once she was flying below it, she would fly up, over and through it. Then as she headed towards the blue hoop, she would continue to climb until she got high enough above the blue one, and she would fly downwards, through the center and end up underneath it. Then she would start descending as she made her way to the purple hoop. Once she was low enough, she would fly up through the center of the hoop from below and end up at the top. Mission Accomplished, Alyssa smiled to herself.

When it was her turn, Alyssa quickly leaned forward on her broom, pointing her broom handle downwards until the broom was flying just 8 feet off the ground, She could almost feel her toes brushing the grass as she headed towards the red hoop. Once she was underneath it, she pointed the handle of the broom upwards, leaned forward and fly straight through the center of the hoop. No problems there.

While continuing to slowly ascend, Alyssa leaned towards the left and guided her broom towards the left as she headed for the orange hoop. Once she was under the hoop, without hesitation, she pointed her handle upwards and leaning forward and closer towards the broom handle, Alyssa quickly flew through the orange hoop, barely missing brushing the side of the hoop as it moved towards her. However, she managed to fly through the hoop without it touching her or her broom.

She continued to climb higher as she leaned towards the left and pointed the broom handle in the same direction. They were now going to navigate through the yellow hoop. As she neared the hoop, she pulled back on her broom handle, straightening it out. Then Alyssa leaned forward as close to the broom handle as possible and flew straight downwards heading for the center of the hoop. As she neared the hoop, she noticed that it began shifting to the right. Leaning to the right, while maneuvering the broom to move in the same direction as the hoop was moving, Alyssa flew through the center of the hoop and once she thought that she had cleared the hoop, she leaned back and gently pulled back on the broom stick to slow down her descent.

BAD MISTAKE!!. She hadn't checked to see whether her broom twigs had cleared the hoop and she felt a bump. Looking up, she saw that hoop had hit end part of the broom twigs.

Alyssa sighed. Back to the starting line again. She turned her broom around and made her way back to the end of the line.
