She made a wide arc before leaning to the left and pointing her handle to the left. She arced towards the left and continued flying in an arc.
Alyssa then leaned right again and arced her broom back to the right until she formed the top part of the 8 and then she continued flying in an arc, still leaning towards the right, flying back the way she came. Then she leaned her broom to the left and pointed her broom towards the left and arced back until she arrived back where she started.
"There one huge figure 8 completed."Alyssa told Minnie.
Minerva watched as Alyssa showed her the figure 8. It looked really hard and she was afraid she wasn't going to be able to do it. She lean forward and moved her broom slightly to the front then leaned left to head in an angled position. She moved forward and held her broom to the left a bit so it would make a circle type shape. Her circle shape didn't seem much like a circle. She sat up straight looking into the air trying to visualize the figure eight before trying again.
Minerva leaned slowly to the right and managed her way into a circle. She then took her broom left and straight to do another circle on top of the first. That could have been an eight, but it wasn't what they were trying to do.
"This is really difficult Alyssa, I don't think I can get it."
