Lincs parkour in the city

1 November, 2008

London city that is! Here is a blow by blow account of this furious ordeal!

After several delays in train service in Lincoln, Spalding and P’borough Adz and I eventually made it to the kings cross station in the heart of London. Unfortunately the heart of London is not the heart of London parkour, instead we needed to head to the city’s south bank where all manner of famous spots used by Urban free flow and 3run can be found. the fastest way around London as you probably know is the London underground, so without further ado we jumped on board and were soon on our way too Waterloo station. On arrival we met up with none other than corks and balance Tim, who had been staying with a friend near London for the week, a nice surprise =). Within the hour we had lost him and did not see him again!

Heading to the nearest burger king we ate a hearty meal and were back on track for training, when suddenly DISASTER STRIKES! Adam had left his camera and MP3 at burger king and we were already 20 minutes away by the time he realised. Sprinting back there was no sign of the lost property. Hopeless, we left the burger king and trudged out of the station, but before we reached the station doors we were met by (Connor) Contrix, one of Urban freeflows sponsored athletes and an awesome guy. Explaining our predicament to him he ushered us back into burger king and demanded to the manager that we see the CCTV footage from that area. Apparently this sparked off something as the camera magically appeared in the hands of a cleaner in seconds, fishy? YES! A majhor relief? certainly! Training with Contrix until dark we witnessed some truly awesome tricking and in the undercover “Tramps kitchen spot”. After parting ways with Connor we found our youth hostel, got some eats and caught up on our sleep. Read the rest of this entry ?
