Well, its ages since I have posted on here, so I figured I’d update you with whats been going on, Down Under.
Training is going good, I’ve seen some nice improvements in strength, however mental confidence has gone down a little. I did do the small wharf jump in Sydney a few weeks ago, something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. It consists of jumping from the land to a thin, swaying piece of wood which is about 8 feet above Sydney Harbour. The gap isn’t far, however the many variables and possibility of swimming with the fishes in the Harbour make it quite a challenge. I guess that pushed my confidence up quite a bit. I remember feeling quite light headed after doing it, whether that was from the swaying of the wharf or not, I don’t know!
Currently I am saving up for the National Gathering, which this year is held in Canberra – basically its 3 days of training with the locals of the city, and whoever else from around the country turns up! I’m hoping to meet people from Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, and possibly Perth. But how does Wizzles have money you ask?!
I’m currently working (yay!) in a restaurant, with fairly good hours – evenings at weekends, so I have the rest of the days to train.
Also, I am training to be able to teach at the Australian Parkour Association classes in Sydney, along with other members of Sydney Parkour. I have helped run a few classes already, and hopefully I’ll get my assistant instructor t-shirt soon. Should be teaching again this Sunday 13th July.
I have made a few little videos at my park and village, I think you’ve already seen them, but Im currently working on a Winter 08 video. I had planned to go many places in my 3 week break, like Sutherland and stay at a friends house, but that probably won’t happen anymore. Oh well, I have filmed a few things at home, and will probably do some in Sydney and Penrith as well. Read the rest of this entry ?
