Kudos to LISA on her amazingly solid and totally incredible 7:00 minute low-plank! Girl - you must have abs of steel with platinum reinforcements! Jason and I kept looking at each other and then at the clock in total disbelief . . .<br />
Lisa, you're an inspiration to all of us!

While this is not as impressive as some 'follow the leader' runs that other of BApk more experienced practitioners do at times (which require a high degree of pacing and adaptation to the unpredictable obstacle), both were expressing today a good <u>sense of 'urgency'</u>, which is -I believe- an element that proper, a bit more advanced, PK should display. If not all the times, at least sometimes, as a training method.<br />

Whoa, Marissa - you went to GWHS after the SFPK jam? WOW, you are completely amazing! I can't believe you did all of that immediately after getting back to SF from Tahoe this morning. You are wonderwoman!

Good job today, <a href="http://baparkour.ning.com/profile/MarcTallbear">Marc</a>, getting that <u>new wallrun</u> at GWHS! (and especially giving us all a new challenge in this so resourceful spot).<br />
;)<br />
<br />
Also, congrats to <a href="http://baparkour.ning.com/profile/marisa">Marisa</a> for getting there after another session elsewhere, specifically to work on kong-to-cats and working in continuing them into turn-vaults... you are VERY close!<br />

Deejay's double kong was looking legit on concrete today. And like the machine that she is, she drilled until I was too tired to watch anymore!

You forgot to mention that your kongs are smoother, stronger, and more confident every day.<br />
<br />
Jason's getting back into the swing of things and determined to refine his technique.<br />
<br />
Giorgio's tic-tac to kong madness is looking pretty damn legitimate.<br />
<br />
And our new guys: Danny's fearlessness and Rome's tenacity really impressed me. Cris and Keeler's dedication. And Jabril nailed the kong on his first night! Badassery all around.<br />

I think it's also appropriate to give a shout out to Ryan for steering such a mixed group towards steady progression. How he can teach a class filled with both beginners and advanced students is beyond me.<br />

Good progression at Ryan's gym class last night:<br />
<br />
Marissa did an few awesome walking kongs & double kongs last week . . . and this week made it over a lot of the high advanced-obstacles super fast like a pro!<br />
<br />
Niko did this super cool corkscrew-flip-type-thing that looked like he was first flipping through the air and then transforming into a spinning corkscrew - looked like something out of an action movie with special effects! That or a move that you could only ever create in a video…

Niko did this super cool corkscrew-flip-type-thing that looked like he was first flipping through the air and then transforming into a spinning corkscrew - looked like something out of an action movie with special effects! That or a move that you could only ever create in a video game. I could watch that all night!<br />
<br />
Jodie did an impressive muscle-up on the high bar that looked super-hard, but absolutely amazing . . . then she did the spin-up which I emailed her a video of earlier this week saying that I wanted to learn it. She figured it out in like 2 seconds.<br />
<br />
Ina did a backflip (very very cool!)<br />
<br />
Everyone else made a lot of progress as well!<br />
