It was time to give standing on her broom with the egg a try. She hadn't spent much time trying to stand on her broom, so she figured she better give it a try without the egg first. She gripped the front and leaned forward, lifting first her left foot, then her right, onto the broom. With her knees bent, she slowly let go with her hands and stood up...then promptly fell. Thankfully her quick hands were able to grab the broom handle and she was able to swing her leg up and over to remount the broom.

Try two was better. She got the broom moving forward first, then attempted to stand. Once standing, she realized it was a lot like surfing. All she needed to do was balance and let the broom do the work. She made a quick trip down the pitch and back.

Then it was time to give it a go with the egg on the spoon. She grabbed the spoon and egg out of her pocket and placed them in her mouth. She leaned forward just enough to get the broom going at a good clip, then used her body to steer the broom to the end of the pitch, turn around, and fly back to the starting point. Not one dropped egg. Her practice run would have been filled with dropped eggs, so she was thankful she took the time.
