"just jump"

Went to wakefeild and horbury wednesday which were both great, but also yet again highlighted my fear of standing jumps at height, at the start of the day in wakey i did a bigish precision, more of another learning cerb really, finding howmuch extra distance you can get when the object you jump to is slightly lower than the one you take off from, horbury i was happy with a catpass precision i did, about 7 steps, to be honest though i felt/feel i can get alot further with them, the catpass im aiming towards is the big one at the odeon in sheffield iv never actually had a look at exept for in videos, so im putting into acount it will be alot bigger when i come to it, as is usal with most things.

we went to a few other spots throughout the day in horbury, my favourite place was definitally "the tree" a fallen over a tree which seemed as though it was put there for parkour, which had alsorts of parts to it you could use different techniques on.

Wakefeild was ace, fulll of cool spots, not much to talk about though really apart from what i said at the beginning, it highlighted my fear of standing jumps at height.

Just a quick review of my thoughts lately on how i get over certain jumps, arm jumps with not much height or rail precisions a voice in my head says "just jump, it will be fine there's no real way you can hurt yourself" or with things like catpasses it what comes into my head is "i can make it i know physically i can make it, so why not just do it".

I hope to get out for some good training at tapton tomorrow since i everythings abit much at the mo and i need to relax and let off some steam, and i have some fears to get over while im there to. : )

Alex.
