Meet up with, Scott, Dan and Jamie.

Yesterday, we met up with Scott, Dan and Jamie.
This was just a day to show them what parkour was about and for them just to get introduced to us.

The day began with me meeting up with Danny around 10:30. As usual Danny was there early and i was there on time. Our first stop was Macdonald's, we don't do this often but we decided as a treat it would be fun to have some pancakes and to discover the syrup's 'sugary goodness' .

We then headed around to heron nursery for a walk, had a mess about here and headed to the civic center. Here we were just waiting for Scott and Danny as it was close to were we was meeting them, near the town center. Whilst we were waiting we had a game on worms, via bluetooth ha ha, and then Danny went to the town center to meet up with them. Whilst Danny was there i was having a proper warm up, jogging, stretching and getting ready for the day ahead.

Then as i was attempting a cat leap, which i know i can do but always have a mental issue with, Danny returned with Scott the other Danny (Dan) and also i person who had seen Parkour on Danny's pants and fancied a go at parkour.

In the day we went to 4 main spots in the Wigan area.

These were


The civic center - This place is an area which is great for learning all your basic vaults, jumps, cat leaps and general balance, so we got to head on getting all the new people vaulting rails after a little warm up. We started off with just the simple vault and built up to the more harder to perform vaults such as the reverse. Here Scott, Dan and Jamie caught on well and were now, Konging, lazying etc. everywere which was good to see. They then had a little go at cat leaps when tom took them to the side to have go at some balancing. After that we moved on to the next spot.

The college - We headed hear straight form the civic for generally a different area to train and to attempt more advanced, bigger moves whilst on the way i was giving them all ideas about parkour and about ways in which people train. As we got there Danny took Scott and Dan off to have a go at the roll whilst Tom took Jamie away with his mate to have a go at a more advanced cat leap. As i stayed with Danny i saw that Scott and Dan had good technique and confidence for the discipline which is always a good sign. We then took them over to some rails to have a go at more general vaults whilst also showing them a bit of flow. Me and Danny then followed Toms root to have a go at the more advanced cat leap which everyone caught onto quickly. Tom at this point was also teaching the roll and basic vaults over a low wall. After this we just had a little mess about at jumping, strength and also quite a high tic-tac which Danny was getting nicely at the end along which Dan and Scott. Jamie then headed off whilst we headed to the shop for a snack and drinks. After this we headed to our next spot.

Heron Nursery - Here is a spot with a small cat leap, some jumps, foot placement and a highish wall for vaults. We didn't really do much here however Scott and Dan soon got the cat leap and foot placements


The Church - This is a spot which has a small disabled access ramp with rails and also some walls which range from high to low and is good for learning all general vaults. Here we finished our snacks and quickly got into training. We started off with some sequences on the rails with things such as vault to underbar. We then had more of a mess about and Scott and Dan had to go to a party (:D lucky)

The weather then started going downhill so we headed to an under cover place and just had a laugh as mates. I played Danny 3 times at worms through out the day and won 2. Overall i won =D.

Danny throughout the day improved a bit and was very good at introducing them to parkour. He also found his kong again and has started to learn the helicopter spin on rails. Overall a good days training.
