A year later
Written by Manic Velocity, January 5th, 2008
About a year ago, I took a leave from parkour to focus on another project. Early this morning, I took the dive back in. The one thing I learned is that you should not dive back into parkour after having been away for a year. I’ve decided to just sleep in my computer chair tonight, because I can’t bring my legs to support my weight in order to climb into bed.
But it was a great time. I regret being away for so long. It was great to meet some of the new people, as well as to see some old faces. My new year resolution to attend more jams officially started today, and I plan to keep at it.
It was also very interesting returning to “noob” status. Parkour is not like riding a bike, and despite being with SLCPK since it began I suddenly realized what all the newcomers felt like at their first jam. So many unfamiliar faces, and watching everybody perform some crazy techniques. It was a humbling experience.
