It's been a while since I last posted on here...never really been much of an active member, but I do my best. Anyway, I figured since it's been a while, might as well re-introduce myself.
My name is Austin Skyberg, I am 21, I live in Estherville, and work in the Spirit Lake Wal-Mart as a cashier. The only person I have to train with lives in Spencer, and rarely is able to come up for anything, so we don't usually train together. As I live in a mostly rural area, there's not very many places to train at, so I do my best at finding some. The few I de find are usually pretty good. As I do work at Wal-Mart, my scedule is so F'd up that I can barely get any sleep in, let alone train, and it doesn't pay me enough. I alternate between writing/making films (Check my YouTube page
here), practicing Parkour (The college in town likes to call me Spider Man), and playing video games (Figuring out how to do Parkour within the games that weren't designed for it...lol). I am currently engaged to my girlfrieng of three years, getting married in September.
I would really like it if I could find somebody nearby that is actually good to help me along. I am fine and comfortable learning this stuff on my own, but I am really insecure, especially about my own abilitied. I CONSTANTLY ask people's opinions for anything I think, do, or make, even if I know it's good...but when I'm convinced it's good, no one can convince me otherwise. I have been mostly focusing on speed vaults, rolling, and wallruns (Horizontal and vertical). I would love to land a kong, but I just can't get over the diving part of it. I got the rest down, I just can't dive.
Anywho, hopefully my understanding of Parkour will deepen during my next project (Which involves a major charager doing a massive amount of parkour in his post-apocalypse world...hand animated in Garry's Mod, using time-lapse and sequence photography as the animation basis), and it will allow me to evolve, both as a traceur, and as a man.
I, too, will leave you with a few quotes...
