Sheffield Parkour Dairies | Week 11
Yesterday was my turn to take over Danny's brilliant project: The Sheffield Parkour Diaries. "What's it all about?", I hear you ask. Well, I'll tell you - Danny started this a while ago, and it's basically a video journal of the day's training and general happenings throughout the day's jam, and what we do is take it in turn, each person does a block of four diaries and then it gets passed on to someone else (don't ask how that came to week 11...)
Yesterday's jam was very eventful, and regardless of the fact that there's hardly any parkour in the video, we got a fair bit of training done, including the huge achievement of mine and Will's of the standing arm jump at the end. I used Danny's "Parkour Rap" in the vid, see his myspace for more songs.
The video includes a dedication to Shane's brother Danny, who, as many of you will know, died two weeks ago at the age of 16.
So without further ado, I present to you my first edition of the Sheffield Parkour Diaries, Week 11:

Next Week: Cliffhanger
Cliffhanger is billed as "the outdoor event for outdoor people" and takes place next weekend (14th & 15th July) in Graves Park - there'll be come-and-try-it climbing walls, high ropes courses, the British Bouldering Championships, a World Record Dyno Competition and many other outdoor activities and such. The Sheffield Parkour guys will be running a demo on a purpose-built course and showing the public what parkour's all about. I'll be filming for next week's diary: Week 12. See here next week for the video.
Oh and I've sorted my Lisses trip. We're going in the last week of August. It's me, little Danny, Scott, Sam and Kai. Can't wait, gonna be an excellent experience.
Comments on what you think of the diary would be appreciated (either on here or YouTube...or both!)

Didn't like 90% of this weeks mate, too much pratting about :/
Serious props on the arm jump at the end though, I seriously doubt I could jump that far!
Can't wait for Lisses man, gonna be sweet!
Peace
Haha was a very eventful day, we usually have a few laughs and still get plenty of training done, but this week, just...so much kept happening lol. We barely filmed any of the training, just the funny stuff.
Next week's should be very different, with the Cliffhanger event, but the week after will be back to normal training (well, I'm missing a week for Harry Potter, but the week after that).
Cheers for the comment, man. Can't wait for Lisses, gona be incredible. I'm really glad you're a part of the group to be honest.
