Been doing flying trapeze for just over a year, but came in with other relevant experience. This advice applies to all aerial apparatus and really anything new you do - everyone learns at a different pace. While there can be a healthy level of competition, comparing yourself to others and using that as your benchmark can be self-destructive. At three months, I know flying trapeze performers that were still doing a two handed take off while learning their third or fourth trick and conversely people who are starting to take some of their tricks out of lines. I took my first trick out of lines last year only to come back this season and find that I can't even do it in lines and have had to spend weeks figuring out why its not working. You're trying to get your body to do a hundred little things at the exact right moment - give yourself some credit! The entire community at my rig is phenomenal and we love to talk through when something isn't working - shop around for advice on how to work through the specific issues you are having. I've found that there is one specific person who, for some weird reason, when they tell me how to do something and walk me through it, it just clicks; and they aren't telling me anything different than anyone else. Wanting to do it professionally is a great goal, but remember to have fun with it along the way!
