New accomplishment
I took some time out today to post because today I accomplished my highest wall scale ever!
Wall scales are probably the weakest aspect in my training because I really only get to practice them about once a week due to the fact that there are no suitable walls in my local area. Anyway I've been trying to get this wall for about four weeks now, and thanks to allot of strength and conditioning training, I finally accomplished my goal. I did get some film of it but I decided to wait till tomorrow to put it up as tomorrow I will be uploading a few training clips so ill put it in there.
However I will post a picture of it just so you can get the relevant height. Anyway that's it for now. Enjoy training!

Danny waz ere!
I spent about 10 minutes wondering how to start this blog. Trying to find out what was the best way to express the experiences that I had today. I figured that there's only one way to say it and that was to get straight to the point. Today was awesome!
Considering that it has been raining the past week, waking up today and seeing sunshine was a welcome relief. It was a great day, and with the prospect of training with Danny I was eager to get to Sydney.
I got to Sydney at around 12:30. Met up with Robbie and a few other guys. We started warming up on the trees near Pyrmont then started working on arm jumps and doing some stuff on Rhys's tree.
Danny arrived when basics class started. Ish split us into groups of people who have done parkour before, and people who haven't. Funnily enough the only people who had done parkour before were me, Robbie, a few other guys and the instructors. Danny came over met us all and said "alright lets go" (I didn't think it would be that easy).
After warming up (again) Danny got us to do some silent training. Ninja games he called it. The idea was to move from one point to another without making a sound. This was really quite fun and you will be surprised in the difference of sound you make when you have no shoes on. This concept gave me a whole new type of training (barefoot) I've herd about barefoot training but never really thought about giving it a go. I intend on doing allot more barefoot training in the future as I noticed how much my mental strength improved just with a few minutes of it.
Throughout today I learnt so much, and improved so much both mentally and physically. I didn't really feel like writing tonight but I kinda had to document today. So much more then what I just explained happened today and I will write more in the near future once I've had a chance to practice what I have learnt and think. Until then hers a few pictures of today as well as a video of the K-Swiss performance that was on Wednesday (I wasn't there but Robbie took some film) Enjoy!

Pineapple
Throughout the past week I have been excited about today. Today was meant to be my first trip down to Sydney for parkour and with the possibility that I might be training with Daniel Ilabaca as he is in Sydney for a few weeks because of the K-Swiss performance, you can imagine my anticipation. For some reason though nature decided to screw me over and make it poor with rain all throughout the weekend. Never the less I still went to Sydney for some casual training and the basics class (which ended up being cancelled because of the rain).
I arrived In Sydney at about 12:30 pm and meet up with Robbie and Richard. It was still poring with rain and we found out that Daniel wasn't coming because of it, but we decided to do some training anyway. Over all it was a good training secession. We mainly worked on the basics as it was raining but I did feel that I improved with my arm jumps.
Anyway I haven't written for a while mainly because that there's been nothing to write about but I intend to start writing more frequently now so stay tunned. The main thing for me now is going back to Sydney next weekend. The forecast says sunny so hopefully it is. If it is I still have a chance to train with Danny, so I have high hopes for next weekend.
