The sun was out yesterday and so was I - I'm still struggling a little with the humidity, but otherwise I felt really good.

Working with the NCParkour group has reminded me that movement cannot be limited to a few set techniques over a specific group of obstacles and I have therefore been making more of an effort to find new places and try new things.  You can see some of my first attempts at rail precisions here.  While I am glad my shins are still intact, I clearly have a lot of work to do on them - see how tense I am jumping into them?

Also, it may not look it, but the dyno up to the railing at 1:45 is pretty challenging and I've been working on it for a few weeks - there isn't any purchase for your feet, so it's a brutal test of explosiveness for the upper body.

Please enjoy, and let me know what you think!  

And keep moving...
