A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
He knew about the sloth grip roll technique in theory but he had never tried it out for practice. He watched as the Professor demonstrated it before he grabbed a school broomstick for himself since he did not own one.
He mounted the broom and kicked off of the ground softly as he did not want to hover too high above the ground at first and rose up until he was high enough that his head would not hit the ground when he hung upside down.
Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves, Dorian rolled over while gripping the broomstick tightly. He had been running for 2 years now so his lower body was pretty fit. His upper body wasn't so much and he felt his muscles as he hang. This was harder than he first thought. Not to mention that having your blood rush to your head wasn't a pleasant experience either.
But at least he had not fallen to the ground yet. From the corner of his eyes, Dorian saw one of the Gryffindors (Ellie) falling on the ground. "Are you okay?" he called as he swung his body to sit upright on the broom again but instead of doing that, he lost his grip halfway and before he knew it, he fell down to the ground on his back "ow" he gasped and rubbed his back as he sat upright. He stood back up and grabbed his broomstick to try again.
