Spin Cycle Launch

That gust of wind was practically daring me. I darted across the balcony tiles and leaped straight onto the lower bar of the metal laundry rack. A plastic clothespin hung right above my head, swaying like crazy. I grabbed the wire frame, pulled myself up, and kicked the pin with my sneaker heel. It snapped around the bar, spinning like a propeller three full times! I had to grab the crossbar with both hands to keep from tumbling backward. Perfect score on the rotation.
