Calluses or (worse) "Rips" anybody? (re-run)
...this has been published ages ago on 'another forum' but the content is all mine, and I hear the topic is still interesting, thus I've gladly 'recycled' it.
[advice: gross, but useful content follows...] :)
Calluses and 'Rips':
...so: you finally had your first Parkour-related torn (hand-)callus yesterday?
Hurts like hell, it's more or less bloody/messy as your average torn toe-blister from running, or hand-blister from tennis/golfing/you-name-it, and you feel like you're… Continue

2009 New Year resolution(s)
..I'll start with one, and write it down to remind myself of it (and invite everybody else to do the same with their PK -or not- related resolutions...), I may add to the list, at some point:
- BE POSITIVE!
The glass IS half-full !!!
It's going to take me some effort, but, also thanks to pk and the community I belong to, I should be able to make it...
:)
p.s.: my life-long resolution is: Get it done!...
I consider myself halfway from the goal...
It HAS bee… Continue

My year-end training abroad (Italy)
flash back: I banged my left knee pretty bad a month and a half ago and have been recovering slowly, but surely ever since, even if I suffered minor yet painful dings here-and-there, and am probably still about 90%.
fastforward: the day after tomorrow I'll be flying back to the Bay after a two short weeks stay in my motherland (Italy), where I (surprisingly!) managed to train 5 times (/days),… Continue

Anterior knee pain syndrome and "Chondromalacia Patellae"
I was looking forward to my first blog post being something REALLY inspirational, or retrospective, or biographical, but I guess -as ironical as it is, given my screen name- it's going to be about a minor, yet bothering injury; and about it's assessment, treatment and prevention...

These write ups are good stuff.....A lot of the times I mean to do the same kind of thing, but I'm terrible at getting around to it. Keep it up, it's really interesting to read about other people's experiences.

Practice "Controlled Hazard" - expose yourself gradually to more risk, get used to danger, be prepared for when something goes wrong, because it always will.
Welcome!
I am in San Francisco, so a lot of other people. What neighborhood do you live in, and what days/times are you looking to train?
-Alex
jason's on vacation and i may be running late and sick :[ but if any regulars show up, they know the drill!
Check the events calendar- there are groups training in some part of the Bay Area almost every day of the week.

Ahaha, seriously though, most of the folks I meet are in their late teens, early 20's...I'm already in my late 20's! I think I'm still stuck in that "high school seniors are too old to hang out with freshman" stage, but the greatest thing about walls...is jumping over them!
