Have you tried training in the rain much Ozzi? My crew did that a number of times this summer. You have to be careful, because everything is slippery, but it helps you to learn how to deal with parkour in all weather elements. Your body sort of adjusts to it.

Joe came over for practice. About 2:30 hours work out.

Did about 100 precisions jumps all together. Try the 9'5" even level, several times, didnt get to stay on it once . Try the 10'5" with 2 feet higher take off, mailed it fine several times.

Worked on the wall muscle ups.
2 sets of 10.

Went to some spots around.
Worked wall ups on the 12 feet wall by the bank. Did about 15 not going all the way up just making sure I reached, using 1 and 2 step to get up. Shoulder is fine but a little discomfort while trying to go all the way up.

Worked on cat balance.
Need to work on it. Losing my balance when doing it with shoes. Barefoot way easier.

Spot it this one place for a new technique.
Here is a video of it, the technique is very sloppy and the quality of video is very bad. I was tired and this was like my 4th try. Didnt go up the wall due to shoulder. Just wanted to touch the other side make sure I got th cat secured.




New goals
15 wall muscle ups.
10'5" precision on even level take off.
14' wall ups.
Lost pull up strength due to shoulder injury. I gotta get back to my usual number.
Conquer the precision spot close to my house. 12' Take off from higher level.

We had our gym session. Great practice. We went over all the fundamentals.

Vaults
Did kongs, dash, double kongs, kash, and reverse corn screw (my move)
Shoulder is feeling good, a minor discomfort during the session due to so many vaults but, god is good to feel it is active and useful.

Wall work
Tic tacs, tic tac 360, wall run, wall ups, moon crane, cat leaps. It was all fun.

Flips
Wall flips, felt weird after so long, same thign with backflip and gainer. Tried a few front flips, lost it again. gotta work on my set.

Jumps
Did several gap jump, good distance smooth landing.

New goals
Master double kong.
Work on wall run our on the streets
360 tic tac on the streets
work on other goals

 Man that sucks, I did the same with my calf, squeezed it between 2 rails, barely healing right now. Make sure you are at least doing some upper body tranning man. You dont wanna get all fat... lol

 I see you have you plan very well thought... haha.

After the very movie like storm (worst I have ever experience in my life, but I live in HI so let see whats to come) power was out all day, I think is was all the island. Which took me out of the house early for a light session.

Precisions
Precsioned I stops at our precisions spot and also precision pretty much everything I found possible to precision around my house (rocks, curves, around shopping centers, mall, light posts, tic tac to precisions) from my home up to the mall. (about 3 blocks, both sides)

Tic tac, tic tac 360 and wall run.
Went to the park around m house and another one of our spots and practice some tic tac 360 and wall run, only could get 2 steps. I gotta practice them at the gym again to see whats up.

Kong
I finally dare to try some kongs out there. I found a 4 feet wall I did some kongs. I started with baby steps feeling the shoulder and listening to my body. The first one were more like Mokeys, but after a good amount of them I started diving into it a little more, by the end I was a 70% of my power and good form, felt good, but I didnt wanna push it so I stopped after about 10 no sweat.

Cat balancing
For about an hour. Even level and going up. Finally found a way to do it, still very slow walk but managed to walk more distances. The way it works for me, a lean most of my body on the legs, rather than straightening, I tuck in more. I'll work it that way until I can walk faster and can transition into a different posstion if needed to.

No new goals yet.

Met with Adam (Nate and kyle couldnt make it) went thru pretty much all of our spots, light session for about 3 hours.

Precisions, cats, wall hops, kongs, a made a few attempts to that one cat from last time here is the result

got it a few times after a few warm up tries. Still I just wanna get there and not have to try but get it right away. OWN THE PLACE. Soon I will, buahahaha.

At 5 we went to the gym planned to do a bit of everything but ended up working on front flips the whole time. Getting a better form. Got some pretty good footage you can check it here

Overall pretty light session, not too trashy. Shoulder is feeling good, got a few kongs onto a bench. Wrist still sore, proly a few more weeks and I'll be back to 90% of my ability.

Gotta get my upper body back in shape, start doing pull ups and some weights. Time to trash my self out.

Today

Gym session at 7:30
Plan on working on front flips, backflips, wall flips and a few vaults to condition the shoulder.
Should be fun.

 
 I haven't updated in a while so here is goes.

 I have been going to the gym session for the last 2 weeks 3 times a week. Working mostly on flips. Front and back.

 And here and there on the street to continue with my shoulder recovery after my AC separation.

 Yesterday Kyle and I met for a work out 3 1/2hrs.

 We worked on precision, about 7 feet apart, just continuous jump. Jumping over a chain in the middle about 3 feet from the ground.
 Cats leaps over a 6 feet channel gap from standing.
 Wall hop on a 6 feet tall wall.
 Wall ups, 12 feet.
 Vaults, kong, lazy, dash and reverse on a wall going from 4 to 5 feet tall.
 Tic tacts to lazy to go over a 5' 1/2 wall.
 Cat balance and balancing.

3 1/2hrs total.

 I had my gym session after that. All session was front flip, from height, gaps, tramp. 1.5 hrs

Today
So we had our audition for a Mikey D's commercial. I would tell you what it the plot is but I think that might be a bad idea. I'll tell you it has ice cream in it though.

It was me and the members of the clan and 2 traceurs from the HIpk community.

It was great, and although they needed only one person everyone showed team work and no competitiveness. It was all in a very relaxed environment. We got to audition all together and watch each other, laugh and have a good time. It was really a nice experience.

Although I bailed while trying to do a flip (freaking carpet) I stood up right back and did again, so I bailed again.. not.. I got it right the second time thank god.

One more time though this experience has also showed me how lots of people dont really understand the concept behind PK. They kept asking us to do flips, so I figure they really needed a gymnast instead of us. That plus the fact that we audition in a big office using only one table while having to hold a cup in one hand. So as much as we tried to make different moves, there is just so much you can do with one hand.

After the audition we all had the most fun when we went around jumping, vaulting getting kicked out of places and continue to have even more fun. At the end we all went to Mikey D's and got some ice cream...

Oh, I got some front flips on the st for the first time.. felt awesome...
