Rain solo

Was inspired by the "Around the world" video just released by some of the Sydney Parkour guys.

Trained for a hour this arvo, solo, at the Family courts.
It was raining for most of the time, but there was enough tree and roof cover to keep most of it off.

Decided to work on my "thief" vault, concentrating on distance(from launch to wall), and speed.
Got some good ones, but need to clean it up a bit and work on consistency. I was getting good distance though, and will try to push it further in the future.

I also experimented with with kick/launching off a wall from a hanging arm jump position - like when doing an "arm to arm" but without the second arm. Did a few with both legs, pushing off with the leg that's higher on the wall. I then tried another technique I've seen, where you start off swinging the bottom leg upwards like a climbup, but then place the swinging leg high on the wall and use it to kick off instead. This was not as difficult as I had expected, and gave better height and distance straight away.

Also managed 3 muscleups on one of the trees. Nice.

Yesterday did some bodyweight conditioning in the shed. I'm going back to wall handstands to sort out some issues that will hopefully yield results soon.
