Long time no blog!

I felt that, because I haven't posted since June, it would be a good time to post... First off, I have recently picked up a knee injury, which i plan to go see the doctor about. Secondly, i have accomplished teh Cat to arm jump at city hall finally, which Palmergeddon has now cat-craned... sickening thought really! Also, my confidence and strength has improved, which i am happy with, but still not to the level that i would like. however, i still need to do HMV/Danesgate, but i do not plan to do those anytime soon. Thought i'd update you on some of the recent events in LPK.

This was a Vintage Lincoln jam, which started off quite well for me, with a nice movement at city hall. however i picked up my knee injury at about 11.30 on the day, so the rest of my day was severely impeeded by this. :\

This was a good nottingham jam, with Palmer once again owning everything, but it was nice to see Zade and Will again, and turned out to be a nice, relaxed jam.

HOPEFULLY will update soon, byebye for now though!

EDIT: Oh and trace, trace was awesome! best 4 days of my life.

NOW i'm done =)

update since last time

since i last posted on here, i have accomplished many of my targets i set myself. these are the following i have completed:

• both garages arm jumps
• muscle-up (not climb up, a muscle-up)
• trying to reduce the gap between my left and right hand sides when it comes to movements

new, revised targets:

• hmv arm jump
• danesgate arm-jump
• cat-arm jump at city hall
• improve overall strength and confidence

that'll do, syanara!

this was my first session back since paris, and i was in sleaford the week before. nice to see ian again, haven't spoken to him in a while, and i think we all missed him. still not quit the deathsticks though, but we can wean him off them. good turn-out, but the police moved us on twice, so we decided to split up into groups. first off, me jonny and jamie went to city hall and had a nice little session of filming / muckaround, and had some fun with toy guns. then, went to meet the guys at spar, bit of training/packed full of food, we split up into different groups. me, stu pembrey, jammie, shaun, jak and wiz went off to college, and got kicked, and then moved onto usher. bit of training there, then went up the bailgate, did some training, jak nearly killed an old woman, etc... the normal. moved onto square, got assaulted by emos, after going to city hall. did some training at rails near square, did some nice shots there, then went, finally, to the rail next to the river, on the other side of pelham hill thing. i nailed the c2p on it, well chuffed.

all in all, good day

achievements:

• the switchands to step under the rail :D
• the cat to precision

improvements needed:

• muscle-ups needing improvement
• arm jumps. majorly.

ah today was so good! I started at about 10, with stu pembrey, just working on warm-ups and quick training, and then we got on the train. went to sleaford, started at the apartments, good training there. then, with stu, jammie, wizey, jak, gainey, luke, alex and ric, went to aldi, trained there. moved onto the rec, good practice for balance and adaptation. good start, and gradually moved to jack bew's house. went on the tramp, got some training done there. then we moved on to bridge, practiced precisions, then moved onto the walls. followed shaun around with his mate on a raft, and went to the cat-precision over the bench. then, i bailed a rail precision which i knew i could do because i went for it, NOT HAPPY. went round to walls, got the arm-jump crane thing on the walls, got moved on by cops. then headed to the council offices, where we did an interview and finished off with a good game of tag. thoroughly enjoyed day.


positives:

• arm jump thing
• had the confidence to go for a rail precision
• good silence practice

negatives/improvement areas

• arm jumps need a good working on
• i need some more arm strength.
• i bailed the fucking rail precision. *rants*

Seems like ages ago that i first started parkour. It was. this was like my 1 year mark for parkour, didn't go as planned though lol. Firstly, me and stu went off to buy him a bag, and me some trainers (they were big, yes, but my feet are wide damnit!) and then we went for a bit of training with the lads and lass outside jjb, we started jumping on a tree stump and a parking meter and then got told to go play in a park... wtf... then city halled it, bit o' training, and the rest of the day was training really. realised that tricking is harder than it looks, and elbow stands, when vertical, can all go wrong when your arms give way =[
