Easter =D

It's been almost 4 weeks since my last post I don't know why :S.

My birthday was on the 29th March I got myself a few pairs of Kalenjis and they are the best shoes I have ever worn. For my birthday I had a 6 hour parkour jam with a few mates around Weymouth and then to finish the day of a 2 hour gym session in Poole, I never been so tired before in my life.

After which I started Parkour in other areas of Weymouth I had never tried before. Within a few hours all of the conditioning both body an mind really took its toll. Everything felt easyier, I understood my body more I moved easier and faster.

After a week of full on Parkour training I had to rest for a day or 2, afterwards was some gymnastics.

Gymnastics felt more easier tricks were higher got some stuff filmed and put it on youtube.

When college finished for the Easter I went back to my home town of Corby. At first it was great meeting up with the local traceurs.

It had been almost 4 months since I was last in Corby and with all the conditioning and new attitude to what I do everything else was easier I found myself pulling of movements I couldnt do before.

Within the next few days I realised how shit the town really is my old friends I trained Parkour with during 2006-07 were constantly drinking taking drugs pissed out there heads. There would be times people found my movements and acrobatic like skills impressive some spoke to me about Parkour most others would either say. "I can do that." or "I can do double that."

That kind of attitutde reminded me how much of a shit hole the town was and why I moved. Not many people will respect or admire anyone who shows a "different" or "unusual" type of skills you or I will learn.

The thing was it never made me angry it made me pity the fact that rather than embrace the site of skills and acheievement from others people decide to throw their negative comments upon that person.

Shortly afterwards after thinking about it I understood more and more about why I do what I do. Knowledge passed down by the ones before us to share with us what human beings can really do and show that "Nothing is impossible." But many of us are not brought up to belieive such things and carry on living our day to day lives in normaility. A life filled with emotional attatachment and dependancey on one another.

What we forget is that rather than depend on other beings to fullfill our own emotional needs we should be taken in the real knowledge from the strangers you meet everyday of your life. Even those you dislike through your life will most certainly carry a valuble teaching that you one day will carry with you for the rest of your life.

I think we need to stop putting down others with our ignorance and share our love for one anothers skill. We need to share the knowledge passed down by the ones before which made us who we are. We forget why we are here in the first place.

The most intelligent people will die, some very young. But their knowledge will pass on by like a pollonating flower. The knowledge I speak of is not what is read from texts books but instead understanding there sacrifice, what they beleived in is the real knowledge that surrounds us in our everyday lives. The knowledge from those before us is constantly communicating to us like a voice in our heads but most of us are so ignorant this knowledge is cast aside.

I myself have showed ignorance but these last 6 months has been like a roller coaster of body, mind and spirtual awarness. I practice Parkour because I beleive that a hidden knowledge awaits for those who seek it. A journey that cannot be described but experianced.

So that when I one day will pass away like every other human being my knowledge will spread across the world and embraced by those who seek it so that they too can carry on the path of the knowledge that our predassecors sacrificed their own physical existance for.

So the next time I myself or you feels put down by a remark made by a spectator whos only desire is to hurt with there ignorance just send them a silent thought saying. "If only you knew."

That person will probably walk away very doubtful about themselves questioning their own ability which will lead to more doubt in themselves.
