Meet with Joe

On Wednesday, me and Danny arranged to meet up with a person from Wigan who had been interested in parkour for around 4 years but had never really done it proper. So through msn n my searching on Google we found him... got his msn and arranged to train with him after school on wednesday.

The day started with me getting a car ride into Wigan off my mum, i then went to the centre of Wigan to meet Joe. We then headed to the Heron nursery to do some drilling of cat leaps, tic tac to cats, some general strength and flow which got us warmed up well for our little training session.

Then Danny arrived with a loud welcome and soon got into training with us. When i say a loud welcome i mean a big LOUD 'MATTTTTTYYYYY WOOP WOOP' getting us all into a good mood and ready to carry on training. The day before Danny had told me and Joe to be ready for a hard session of training and that he was going to put us through our paces so i was ready =D. After doing everything possible at the nursery and Danny once gain improving his awesome climb ups we moved on to the garages.

This place is just outside of Wigan and is a place that very much tests your upper body strength, including this such as cat to cats, cat leaps, kong to cats and tic tac to cats etc. We started off here just drilling a few cat to cats from the garages to the high wall then moved into doing a few tic tac to cats onto the garage and climbing up after everyone. Then after doing this Danny had gone off on his own so he came back to us and showed us were he had just been. He had been on a garage round the corner doing a bit of strength that he then went through with us. This consisted of shimming all the way along 2 garages including a few drop downs etc.

After training here we decided it was time to start warming down so we headed to the civic center to do some small movements and technical stuff, with a bit of foot placement and balance on this small rail, that i later fall off later on onto my bum due to a spinning rail, that was fun. We then decided to head off back to the bus with our muscles acheing and hands bleeding.

Thanks to Danny for our hard training session, and thanks to Joe for coming out to do some training. It's always nice to see a new face and specially when there interested and can have a laugh. Unlucky aboutt he leg cut though, get better soon.

p.s Danny smith has awesome climb ups
