Parkour in Pasadena on the 17th (of Jan '08)

Hey all,

Sorry it's been so long since my last post. Like one of my brothers said, "I guess facebook put an end to blogging." Not an end! It's just less frequent now. dc:

So I went up to Pasadena to do parkour with the LA Parkour Meetup group. I had a blast and everyone there seemed to have a lot of fun as well. There's nothing quite like being with a group of people who share a common active interest. Lots of smiles, laughs and people helping each other out. This coming Saturday they're meeting at UCLA and I hope to make it to that one as well.

Here are a couple pictures from the event:

Here a guy is performing a "tick tack". He's using the wall on the right to launch himself up to the left. It's a fun move and takes some practice to get the force and angles right.

Here's a picture of me running up a wall. There are a lot better pictures out there of parkour, and even great ones from the meetup on Saturday. I included these two because they have me in them, 'cause hey, this is my blog, right? The second photo I got from this guy's picasa web set.

One interesting thing about the group that met on Saturday was just how many people came to the meetup. Usually there's... about 16-25 people.. but for some reason 60+ showed up! Weird, but still doable and it went great (and no serious injuries, though I mildly sprained my wrist).
