On the 13th Day of Christmas, My true love gave to me…

A meal at Yo-yo’s in Bejiing and hitting the 10,000 readers mark on the blog!

Ho Ho Ho!

Thats right guys, we’ve just recently surpassed the 10,000 mark, on this Blog. Which means that in the short time we’ve been writing in this Blog over 10,000 people have stopped along to have a read of what we’ve been doing. This is a really nice thing to see for all us Blog Contributors who try to keep you as updated as possible with our regular goings on and any important updates for the Lincs Parkour Community. We hope you enjoy our regular ramblings, and look forward to reaching out to another 10,000 readers as soon as possible!

Now regarding my true love, shes always been one for giving me strange gifts, infact a number of them include, 4 Calling Birds, 3 French Hens, 2 Turtle Doves and a Partridge in a Pear Tree. Now as much as i appreciate the gesture, I simply cant handle that amount of birds, All i need is the one Christmas Turkey. BUT on the 13th day of christmas my true love gave me a very nice gift, and that is.

THE LPK ANNUAL CHRISTMAS MEAL!

Yes thats right, its that time of year again for the festivities and celebrating the end of 2009. And what a year its been, with the workshops going from strength to strength, Gaining tonnes of new members and a Brand New Look to the Site. 2009 has been a year to celebrate.

I look forward to seeing all the old faces there, and a very Merry Christmas to All!

Some Updates from Ben Christian

Firstly, We seem to be experiancing a little Domain difficulty since the switch to .com, for some reason the old .net domain still works, but with all the links broken for some reason, so just to clarify this sites OFFICIAL Domain is:

HTTP://WWW.LINCSPARKOUR.COM

Unfortunately Google is still Linking a lot of people to that domain if your experiancing problems with the site try changing the URL or bookmark or whatever to that one! Also some things you fellows at home can do to help, if for example you have a facebook page, or youtube account linked to the old Domain, Changing it to the New one would be huuuuugely helpful as it will help the Official .com domain reach the top spot on google through searches This will help filter out the old domain that seems to be clutching onto the internet as much as it can before it dies haha.

Secondly, many of you may have noticed an absence in Lincs Parkour Videos from yours truely, infact the last one i made was in the summer and the one before that Valentines Day! Well, firstly let me apologise for not keeping you all entertained, Most of you are subscribed to me on Youtube, as well as a number of others around the world, well let me be the first to tell you my videos shall be making a glorious return in beautiful HD quality. Being on a media course i tend to get very picky with my video work and after using the gorgeous Sony Cams in College, i coulnt go back to grainy small crap SD Cameras, So i have brought my self the Kodak Zi6, which you will be familiar with if you’ve seen some of Joe Hicks Work. So expect some bountiful and beautiful HD videos very soon, if your not familiar with my work then check out my Youtube Channel and look forward to making some more in the future!

 

Thats all Guys, Thanks

Comminty Sessions Going Strong

This Saturday was a big surprise for me, I wasn’t expecting the community to turn out together in the way that it has. and this is largely due to the open Saturday sessions we are holding at NK

there were so many old faces, and many new ones/ people we haven’t taught in over a year and I’m glad that we have all come back together to practice what we love (in case you missed the point of the blog that’s Parkour/FreeRun)

so after my knee packed in I started taking photo’s of the action and here is what i got

(click to enlarge)

PS: If you want to join in please do, the sessions run every saturday from 4-6 at north kesteven sports centre. for more information click HERE

St Georges: Sleaford- Refresh

We are currently having an upsurge in class activity and I’m proud to say that St Georges school you are going to be graced by our presence once more.

Starting this coming Wednesday (11th November) parkour classes will be resuming at your school.

as it is an after school class it will once again be free to attend

they will be open to boys and girls of all year groups, and so if you are interested in the class tell your friends.
the more people the better.

See you next Wednesday.

Gymnastics for the masses :D

Lincs Parkour Has its very own gym!!!

We have been given free reign of the Sleaford Gymnastics club for a Parkour/Freerunning/Gymnastics day of fun.

This session will be on Friday 13th and run from either 3 – 7pm or 4 – 8pm (you will have to let us know which one you prefer here) The cost is £6 for all 4 hours so I think that’s a pretty good deal

This is a tester for a longer running session that would see us having the gym for a 2 hour session a week forever. We just need initial strong numbers to get it going really.

Equipment at the club :  A-bars, Ropes, Parallel bars, Trampoline, High bar, Sprung floor, Vaulting Horses, Tumble track, Beams, Air track , + (foam pit style mats), climbing frames and of course more crashmats than you can shake a stick at.

and the best part of the day is that you can use the equipment in whatever way you see fit, which means tricking, climbing, stretching, conditioning, general silliness etc.

Update:  if this damn blog would let me put the videos up i would show you what it looks like but for some reason it wont let me upload but hopefully soon you will be joining us there to flip trick and train at LincsParkour’s Friday the 13th Gym Session.

Attention All Yarborough School Students

A new FREE class will be starting in your school very soon.
The after school Parkour classes will start running on Monday 16th November from 3:15pm till 4:30pm

These sessions will be running for 4 weeks and will be free-form in structure. and although we will be providing the same basics teaching as we provide on the Wednesday sports sessions (coming in January) we will mainly be helping you to advance the techniques you already know and using the time to develop the skills of the Yarborough practitioners  to higher levels.

There will be a sign-up sheet delivered to your form tutors (this is for all years – we don’t discriminate here) all you have to do is put your name down and you will see us there.  but make sure you sign up early, If you don’t then there may not be a place for you so make sure you get your names down as space is limited in the hall.

This was just a heads up and I look forward to seeing you all there.

Open Gym Sessions

Hey guys …

Right, so as it is approaching the winter period with all the nasty british weather going on Dale and I  have decided to make the saturday workshops into open gym sessions.

so what ever you desire to do you may practise it.  From general Parkour movements to creativity flow or tricking, ( yes thats right TRICKING !) then you are more than welcome to come along.
we now have much more equipment,  some sprung floor pannels for tumbling that we can get out etc..

as I was saying the weather is getting worse, nights are getting earlier so if you would like a nice dry place to practise you are more than welcome to come.

HOWEVER there are a few things :

there WILL be a 30 minute period at the beginning for a warm up and some conditioning ( 30 minutes isnt asking a lot)

It will cost 3.50 for two hours (this is due to the leisure centre charging, not Dale and I)  we do not get any of your money)

For those who want use the session as an open session that is fine but if there are still beginners out there and still want to come Dale and I  will still be coaching so beginners you are all still welcome

im not demanding that people to turn up but if you do get fed up of the wet cold and dark and want to come on in for two hours your more than welcome guys

Domain Update

Hey Guys as of Tommorow, or quite possibly the day after that, you will no longer be able to access Lincsparkour, through the Domain: “Lincsparkour.NET” as my 3 year subscription has ran out, however, due to the service provider having ceased partnership with Freewebs, It has created difficulties in buying my .net slot for another year, so due to this the site has now been Brought under the domain,  “www.lincsparkour.COM”  which you will be able to access in the next 48 hours or so.

So a moment of silence please for our trusty .Net Domain, she served us well for the last 3 years, from the day she courageously erased www.freewebs.com/jammie-ben from the internet but now she must set sail into the depths of the Cyber web. Forever Missed, but Never Forgotten.

Goodbye, Old Friend.
