i wake up after a intense night of trying to go to sleep without thinking about the flow of the movement i am going to take upon myself the next day. Finally i wake up after having only a few hours sleep , i try to get my self together for the big day ahead me . As i get in shower the cold water awakens my day with the sharpness of the freezing water down my back. I step out thinking once again to myself have i got everything ready have i got myself ready before i found myself hanging around the house pacing myself back and Fourth to wards my door.
Awaiting to leave , then i hits me god my camera , s#(at)t aww loss of time is the most painful thing within my day. As i run back to wards my house i think to myself how did i start how did i come across such nice friends, to give me the time of day. Just to call me and ask for my help to wards this event that might change my view on parkour within myself and others around me. Then it hits me as i am running for the bus my heartbeat is in contact with breathing slowly to slow myself down. I step on the bus sit down and enjoy the sound of music in my ears like a wave of adrenaline. I can feel myself getting pumped as i come to wards town.
I give a fone call to my friends we meet up with enjoyment knowing what the day well bring for us all. We all start heading down toward the train station awaiting for our tickets out of the machine that never accepts notes.Everyone laff's as one, of us thinks we had been sort changed with our money. Well we are good to go we walk down heart racing to go, i no to myself i need to keep my energy levels low when on the train.So i try and get myself to get sum rest but I'm not having any of that as the other loud lot are too excited to Evan thing about it. I i steady myself to try not get too excited as i step off the train, as i see Joel run passed me in excitement with a round off- backflip , as every1 looks at us as we walk through the platform 4a.
I take a glance at the time crap were late i shout toward the guys in front. Ste looks back and says it will be fine late the better, a big smile on my face seems to come up as-if to say , we are not going to make it. We all walk to wards what i think is a bus stop from the 60's. I check the time we all completely confused about the time with ? ? ? on all of our faces, but we still wait . As i sit down in the bus stop i see sam running to wards me with the serious face i know whats going to happen , then bang on the bus stop as I. Look i see Sam spinning around on the side of the bus stop awaiting for the bus to come. Time go's by then finally it come after a debate if we should pay 2 pound 20 for a single fair . We all decide it is the best idea to get there fast soo we take it. The next 20 minutes are pointless to say just alot of talking and moaning about are we there yet sooo anyways.
We finally get out the derby uni and with excitement as we are just walking up Joel and Ste see a glimpse of a high wall to flip off. As we gather our bags together to walk up the hill to wards the uni , we all spot a few place's we can train. We all try to hold our self's in toward the walk up to the uni before someone shouts out "YES WERE FINALLY HERE". We all glance back toward Shaun as-if to say naa you don't say. As we walk to wards the doors of the uni i finally hit the butterfly stage. Ste calls the event organizer for details on how to get in. We wait outside the door for this one person that will make our day never one to forget. Finally she pop's out the slidey doors, with a big smile on her face greats us all and invites us all in to the. Amazing building were are about to train in.
We all have our chin's down to our knee's after looking about for whats to offer us in this great day. After a speech with her we can finally warm up.As i am stretching my legs i see in the corner of my eye.Sam do a Kong vault over the rail down to wards the hard floor.Ive warmed up and ready to go , i have a quick covo with my team mates to find out if they have any idea what to do for the show. And i get is just go with the flow, right i say i can do that. So as well come together and try and find things that we can doo , by the time we had finished we where nearly ready to perform. In front of a crowd of 200, yes nev's are high but the excitement of just beening here was enuff to calm me down.
Finally where all on after trying to find a song to free run too, breathing is harded nerve's carming, we all walk onto the stage, the music starts to play, Joel and Ste brace themselves for what they are about to do the scene becomes alive as Ste and Joel flip and perform kicks that are soo high Even Jackie would be happy, me Sam Shaun and Jordan , brace our self's toward the part where we are used a stones, for a side-flip by Ste. As the stupid one i decide to go in front, i look up to see Ste getting himself ready for a massive side-flip over us lot, then i start clapping to get him pumped, thats it he starts running i look toward the direction of him 1 second his there the other his beside Jordan.
Us lot get up off the floor running off, into the place where we can get ready for whats about to happen,i say to the lads get ready were going to do this ok, a big smile come across us all as we look at each other, bang the music changes we start running to wards the rails and massive drops. I run on-top of the second floor of this amazing place i look down give myself a massive breath in and turn vault the rail around to see my team running to wards me, then i take one deep breath and jump as i land and roll i hear the crowd scream. Thats it I'm hooked this adrenaline is my power is my flow is my landings is my passon for this sport i soo dearly love. I stand up to see my team mates falling behind me where i jumped off.
The smile's on there faces spark me up for the cat leap I'm about to do the crowd watches in fear as-if we are some crazy people , then i hear them scream as I'm in mid air i land the cat leap up i pop and then Joel come flying beside me with a side flip off the wall i was about to jump onto then i see Jordan vault the rail down to wards the ground and then Shaun follow him down. I stand on the rail pumping up the crowd as i see Ste flip off the side of the wall. Then for what i would believe had be landed Sam dash vaults the high rail and lands into a Kong vault. I clap my hands with enjoyment of happiness for him for landing the move that he had wanted to do all along.
Then i see everyone doing vaults cat leaps and flips. I stop myself amoment and breath in place myself on top of the high rail looking down toward the hard wall i am about to land on, I look about take one deep breath and throw myself in the air landing was soft, as i drop down toward something I'm not that used to anymore ground i land then throw myself into a roll. I look around to see Sam and Joel and Ste do vaults over the rails. Then land and Joel run off into a round off-back-flip , the crowd screams , i think we are near to the end as the music seems to be getting lower.
Then i pace myself up toward the stairs to the second floor, i see Sam Jordan and Shaun complete there vaults and i call them " ooooii come on come on ". They all rush up the stairs i say ready everyone nod's ready, we all turn vault at the same time i hear the crowd screaming. Blood rushing adrenaline high muscles tense , Sam looks at me Shaun looks at me Jordan looks a me , it feels like slow- mo. " 3-2-1.....go " we all drop off in great order the crowd go's wild.
As we land and roll each of us now known it is at an end. we all run up toward the main stage , Ste and Joel are awaiting for us lot , Ste Say's to me bow i nod and shout "OK" the crowd screaming makes me smile i know i have had an amazing day. We bow and Joel and Ste run out another round off-back-flip from both of them. I look at everyone the smile's on there face's show why i do the sport i doo its not all becoz of discipline its because of family friends witch we will always be, and because it's GOD sheesh FUN.
We hug and hand shake each other with enjoyment for performing a great show as we walk behind the stage we have all found out our reason's for parkour that day . But i bet for everyone they are different.
But i can tell you mine will never change mine will always be because of family my family of friends we all have one passion to give to wards anyone, one day all of us where just normal kids like any other kid until we became friends and start this thing call parkour until then we didn't know who Sam was or who Ste was or who Joel was or Shaun or Jordan but until we started this thing that showed us not a way of life but how to live it. We made a family not any family but one that has a passion for the sport behind everything that is us.
i hoped you enjoyed this Lil day most passably the best day for us recently
