Friends: I hopefully have made some friends in this scene instead of annoying the hell outta them... lol... But I have met some incredible guys in the short time I've been attempting Parkour, including but not limited to SkyNative (Levi), Ando, Frosti (Mike), Danno of Toronto, and M2... All have been willing to help me with technique, and have been patient. Quite respectable guys. I also am friends with everyone in the Port Huron scene, as I was the one who started it... that includes Nem, Cody, Spydur, Monk, Dwarf, Sarge, Fox, and SnackCakes. Most of those guys don't post here, though...
How Long Have I Done PK: It'll be two years in February. My first day was a month before I got Nem into it... It wasn't a good first day. Went home with a black-and-blue elbow after trying to learn how to roll on concrete first... and also split my left shin open, due to lack of knowledge about vaults. *ahem* But I stuck with it! And I love the sport.
I love Parkour, and I am aiming to become as best as I possibly can become. I look up to my peers in the scene who are better than myself, and aid those who need help. I want to go to as many events in my lifetime as possible -- however, most of the times I am not allowed due to obligations such as work or grades, which does indeed suck... But that will not matter once I am out on my own.
Whenever I get down about my abilities... I always simply think that David Belle has been doing this since he was 15... There's always time for improvement.
Peace out, y'all... I'm going to go train in the athletic center.
