Wallflips

I am starting to venture slightly in to tricking, and so far, the only move I am interested in learning is the wallflip.

My target is to get them down confidently on grass by March 20th, then on concrete by the end of the month.


Also, little update on my parkour progression:

I can feel myself adapting without hesitation, like when practising runs and such, my foot positioning stays normal, so I can go into a "speed-pass" with either right foot first or left foot first (still vaulting over left side though). My climbups are improving lots, I can nearly get them with both hands at the same time, but at the moment it is very fast and fluid one arm slightly after the other. Finally, I am really enjoying "movement training", after watching Brad Moss' video it has inspired me to think of new ways of moving. This has helped a lot with my underbars and overall control.

Feiyues + Training

My feiyues came today, so I did some training in them this evening. They take a bit of getting used to, but after a few balancing techniques they feel great. I think I will wear them for the Saturday jam, but I have a choice now.

I did some balance work, and a few vaults, my main one was a catpass to roll that I really liked. I did some strength work on some pillars, my climbups are getting much better. I did quite a few precisions, and the grip is definetly evident, they feel very secure.

Update on Saturday!

Lincoln 03/02/07 + TKD

Training went pretty well on Saturday, my catpass technique has improved a bit. I nearly got the catpass2precision near the estate, I think I'll get it next week. My arm strength has improved lots since keeping up my conditioning routine, and doing regular pressup challenges, as I noticed when doing reverse muscle ups, I got them a lot more consistent, so hopefully by next week I should have them sorted.
TKD on Monday was good, though on the way there I discovered anticlimb paint on a wall that I like to use for arm jumps and climb ups.
I ordered my Feiyue's a few days ago, and they tried to deliver today, but my mom wasnt in, so my dad is picking them up tomorrow from the Post Office. So I'll be out training in them tomorrow!
