Dryness!

Today wasnt bad, was hoping to get to Leeds but i had no money, arguements with parents ect..
So Woody and me got up to Shanes area and had a prity cool session on this mad spot that i couldnt believe Shane hadnt trained before, it was the first time id goten out properly in a couple of weeks, i've been training near enough everyday but its been drilling precisions, going climbing or tricking at the gym. So yeah it was nice to have a decent session and splash out with a nice amount of strength i've gained lately. The best spot me and Woody stopped at was this pharmacy filled with nice catpasses, precisions, quick flowing movements. There really is so much to do there but it seems like you have to be quite carefull with everything your doing as there's lose rails, dodgey paint that breaks off and things are kind of crampt together, but it didnt stop us getting loads done there, untill i broke a rather large rail/banister doing and arm to arm with ripped it right out of the side of the wall, which kind of contradicts what were always preaching with respecting our enviroments but meh, accidents happen. Im feeling very comfortable with arm jump variations now, this quite big one i got done wasnt quite level but was abit of a distance and needed to be contolled quite abit with a wall slighly in the way of were your jumping and felt i got it done quite nicely with a decent dyno strait from it, will have to get it filmed when im back there monday after school. We trained at another spot afterwards while waiting for Shane to meet up with us, it had limited amounts of obstacles but obviously that didnt stop us, two things i've gained recentally came into play quite nicely, being able to do slanted rail precisions, and having the strength to do a small arm jump afterwards were you kind of have to just clamp your arms onto the outside of the wall relying on your bicepts, finger strength and wrist strength to hold yourself in place. I will no dout get this filmed as well and will go into a little video im peicing together of me and Tee Pee (may only be me though as he rarely trains now and wont be able to get footage of him).

Woody left once Shane got there as he had to get back to work, we met up with Danny strait after and had a muck about on that pharmacy again which was now very dark and you were very limited to what you could do in comparison to the light, but i still managed to get that arm jump done again. We moved around abit more but i was feeling prity achey all over due to that i dont think my body has adapted to tricking yet and the hard slams i keep taking which i've noticed do hurt the next morning even if you dont even feel them there and then.

one of the main reasons i gave up on trickign was the amoutn of impact. i could always really feel it the next morning.

Sounds like good training, and new areas are always refreshing and fun :D

What's these hard slams ey... Me thinks you should calm down just a tad in the gym :)
I'm loving tricking at the moment, I have such hardcore sessions (generally) in the gym and end up buggard afterwards, something I haven't fealt for a while (Y)

Keep it up Badman
