Been a while.. Again..

Updating my blog is nothing im very good at!

I assume I am to busy enjoying the sun, life and training. Also, I dont feel I have any interesting topic to adress..

It just dont feel very interesting for people to read:

- "Today I worked on my precisions ..bla bla bla.."

So I will return when I actually have some more profound to say. Some thoughts and ideas.

Anyway, Ill give a quick update on my life in general anyway.
Training going well. I feel I am really evolving both mentally and physically. I dare more, and I feel that I am capable of more now. Realized the other day, that I have actually been into parkour for about a year now. Havent trained seriously for more then maybe 9 - 10 months tho.

I have also started to seriously look into purchasing a new camera. Not decided on what to buy yet, but I dont think I will spend the money for a HD camera. I think I will settle with a SD camera. Will be enough for my needs Id wager, and it wont burn to big a hole in my wallet either :)

With that new camera I will make a 1 year progression sampler sometime this fall I think.

Also, here is my latest little sampler! Nothing fancy, just felt like putting together the little material I had lying around.

Have a great summer, and who knows. Maybe we will meet up sometime during the summer!
Im going to London in the middle/end of august.

Take care!

Bits n pieces!

Head cam test!

This is just a test. I will upload a better clip with more variation in the movement soon.

Placing the cam on the head made the focus come a bit high, instead of where I look with my eyes. So I will try it out on the chest next time instead. Should be less in the way like that aswell.

Anyway. Besides this little test. Life is going well. I train hard, and im having tons of fun. Been a bit bad on training my acrobatics latley tho. Mostly running, and strength training. I will hopefully get more time for the acros soon tho. :-)

Anyway. Here is my little test.. More to come!

Long training clip

Enjoy!

Mental challenges

I read a blog entry on parkour generations there other day about mental challenges, and I was really intrigued by the challenge the author of the post issued to all the readers.

Go out, and find a challenge. Doesnt have to be hard or spectacular, just something you dont dare, or have been able to do, but suddenly have lost the confidence to do now.

Confront your fears, and do it. Overcome the mental obstacle!

I have beaten more then one since I read the post. But I went out, the other day and filmed one challenge I have had my eyes on for a while.

Here is the blog entry:
Parkour generations

And my challenge!

Going home

This weekend I had a quick visit in my old hometown. To spend some time with my mom, my little brother and my old friends from "tha hood" :)

Had a great time, and it was really fun to catch up with old friends, even tho time wasnt enough to hook up with all of those I would have liked too.

Saturday was devoted to training tho. I knew there was some people training in my home town and neighbour town. So I got in touch with a guy from the neighbour town, and we agreed to meet up and train, and try to get some more people to join in.

In the end, only one more came.. But it was still great fun. They showed me around on some of the spots they have spent their years on, and I managed to get some new challenges and beat some newly arrived challenges. Was alot of fun!

We spent all day training, and my body felt pretty sore when I got back to my moms later in the evening! We started out at 12 pm, with some warming up. Then we ended the day around 7 pm, with a short break in the middle for food. Was pretty intense, but was really fun. I learned so much, and I did alot of new stuff. Was really great.

I got a daysampler put together aswell. I managed to forget to use my camera most of the day, but I got a few shots atleast. :)

Also, on sunday when I was going home. I knew that the people in Uppsala had the regulary sunday training, so I hooked up with them as I had to wait for my bus there for 50 minutes. So I manged to get a good 20 minutes or so training with them aswell.

Showed me some really sweet spots we will probably return to this coming sunday when we will have small jam with some people from Stockholm coming aswell. Will be awsome im sure!

Anyway. Now I need to grab something to eat. Take care!

Suma Summarum

Not much to report. Nothing spectacular that has happend recently. I have been training hard as always..

Also, I went to the good doctor, and got my knee x-rayed. Seems like my knee problem is from an old healed schlatter injury. I seem to have some bone fragment that lies in my knee. Nothing I have to worry about apperantly. I guess my pains is just due to me training wrong and to hard. So I will adjust and make it better. Already feeling the difference from training a bit more focused on my legs, and taking it easy on high drops.

Also, the easter has been great. Been back home and visited my family, and we had a great weekend in the mountains with lots of snow, and snowmobile riding. Been great. Had over 1m of snow there.. And here where I live, its full spring. So quite a difference :-)

Im really bad at uploading pictures. But I swear. I will upload some from this weekend tomorrow. Was amazing to spend alot of time in that harsh and waste snowy landscape. Its always breathtaking to be up there..

Anyway, now the easter holidays are over, and im back home. Had my first small training session today. Felt really good.. Also had a great visit in Uppsala last sunday. Trained the entire day. Not healthy. But alot of fun!

Was my first outdoor session in Uppsala. So it was really fun to see all the nice spots there, and I also managed to pull off my first backflip (from a fence), down on asfalt. Felt pretty intense. :)

Now im off to bed, to get some rest, so Ill be fit for a long hard day of training tomorrow!

be well!
