Precision tag
« on: November 19, 2009, 04:14:04 PM »
today me and my friend (who just started training with me, grant it im only like 3 months old in the traceur sense) went out to train, it was his second day training,     everything is soaked, because it stopped raining about an hour before we started,    we checked a bunch of places and none were safe,   so we checked out an empty playground,    not great equipment but a lot of wooden border and a long spanning brick wall above waiste height,    the rule was no touching ground or sand,      just about every edge or anything required a precision to get to or QM to run under the tree limbs above the wall (which i powned at, it made up for him being being a faster runner than me)     at the begining he wasn't too great with the jumps but after about 30 min of spinting on 6 in wooden borders and 8 in brick walls and high stakes decision making made him learn to do instant precisions of approx 6 foot.     

It was great fun, we both got really good at precisions, especially with the rule of no one footers, or one and a half foot landings,     the landings had to be perfect because everything was wet and the border was covered in sand, which meant if we had any forward moment we would land on our ass,    happened to me about 3 times, lol.    It was great,   

i think this is a great game and everyone should play it,    now me an my friend need to find further apart edges to land on in a larger more elaborate area. woot!

Nice!  Games are always a lot of fun, just keep staying safe.

We played "hot lava tag" at our last Monthly Jam near UC Davis.  No touching the sand at all, then whoever was "It" got to shout out an additional constraint, like no touching the platform floors, one step only on the floors, QM only, things like that.  Then the next person who got tagged got to change it again if they wanted.  Lots of precisions and QM!  Flow while "in the moment" of being chased was vital to escaping, jumping and stopping doesn't cut it  ;D  Everyone was good about staying safe, if you got tagged big deal.  People were even letting others prep and test out a new jump before pursuing, all in fun.  Some pretty epic chases though!  The wood park f-ing rocked  8)

thats pretty sickk. Tag is a great way to work on skills. My cousin and i usually warm up playing tag, because its basically like follow the leader, so we challenge eachother and ourselves.

That playground... EPIC! thats so awesome!

We're lucky to have a couple playgrounds like that in Texas. They're always a blast.
