Sydney Trip - Day 1

Arrived in sydney at about 12. Checked into the YHA, then wastedb time walking around the city, while I waited for ruoF to arrive. Did a bit of shopping, that was about it.

Bought B13 on DVD too.

Finally ruoF arrived a few hours later. We walked through the city a bit, got some dinner, then decided to do some training.

Went back to the YHA to get changed, then made our way to darling harbour to do a bit of training. Tried a wall run outside the YHA, then did a really bad landing coming back down. I landed on my heels and fell over backwards. It was so stupid!

From there we made uor way down to Darling Harbour. It wasn't as packed as I thought it would be.

We were doing a bit of a warmup, when this guy walked past. He asked us if we knew Cross Fit. I did as Conan is interested in it. He talked about how parkour was involved a bit in it. It's good to see how parkour is getting involved in a lot more things.

From there we did a bit of light training in different areas around Darling Harbour.

On our way back, some guy saw our Australia Parkour shirts, and got us to show him some stuff. This was pretty fun. We showed him a couple of vaults, and talked to him a bit about parkour.

From there, we got changed and made our way back to Darling Harbour to find a club.

On the way we found some guys who looked like they were trying to do precisions across a small bit of water. On closer inspection by ruoF, they were.

We ended up spending a while with them. Talking to them about parkour, teaching them how to do a couple of movements. One of them picked up precisions really well. He was from New Zealand, and new Barnz. They might be coming to the class here in sydney on sunday. It will be interesting to see whether they actually make it.

And that finished the parkour for the day. We were pretty sore and tired, but looking to some good training in the next few days.
