How my life could of changed.



Back in 2005 sometime when I was still in my high school years, I was one of those kids who would be flipping                                                 over shit, climbing over walls and someone apart of the Australian parkour forums. I attended their first ever national parkour meetup at the Homebush gymnastics centre sometime in the 06 or 07 years and it was a blast.

I remember being there thinking I was somewhat king shit because back at home/school and training I would do all these stupid flips and shit on the grass. But these guys who founded the parkour forums were on a whole other level. Being in the gymnastics floor allowed everyone to achieve gain more height, twists and flips than being outside in the streets, but what they achieved being in the first few years of founding the forum was amazing. Physically what they could do was cool, but being able to gather the nations whole parkour community together in one city to practice was even more amazing.

I remember being into that scene for a short while, made some short lived friends but for me it never really kicked off. For reasons that just seem silly really, I never had anyone to run with and when I did go out by myself, after a few weeks my legs develop a terrible case of shin splints. It hurt to walk sometimes and I still remember I couldn't point my toes upwards for a few good weeks. I actually found that amusing somewhat.

Because of that I just stopped and upuntil now I have forgotten about that aspect of my life. And watching this video just made me think, what if?

What would my life be like if i kept up with community? How would the parkour community impact upon my life?

But also this life question can also be applied to other aspects of my life like, who I dated or didn't date, jobs, cars, bikes, friends and whatnot. But I still like to think.

Peace.

Spring wrap up!

I wrapped my wheels in black vynel. Biggest pain in the ass ever. Never doing it again, but it only looks good from afar. Next time i'm just buying new wheels.

Vman Bought himself an Evo.

I splurged a bit and got new springs. Ride is just that tad bit firmer, considerably less body roll and only a little bit lower (not that I care about the height)

Went to wakefield for a private track day! Super fun!
Managed to get a 1:18 time with on the side Iphone stopwatch. Pretty happy but I didn't beat Clifton, I could of gotten faster but then all I can rebut with is all just excuses. 
There was also this whole silly bet going on facebook where if I beat Cliffy he would have to wear a christmas tree for a day. Hahaha oh well. Next time.

I'm addicted to Calzones. It's a giant pizza pocket, or it can be called a pizza folded in half.

Jings bucks was filled with loads of laughs and a fun night alltogether.
This happened, that happened, you know all that jazz on a bucks night. HAHAHA. 
Jing and Shirley got married!! 
By the way Matt Mead is a mad photographer. Super fun to hang with too!

I went to Stereosonic! 
Best day in my life! Day turned to night in a blink of an eye but I still had an amazing day. 
Stayed at the main stage all day because I was just happy to be there couldn't be bothered moving. 
My only saddness from Stero would be missing out on Dash Berlin! Man if I had the time and money to blow, I would of chased stero around Australia just to see dash.

I got high.

Helped Justin out at Zen Garage with this piece on the wall. Looks great!
I got my Open Waters scuba diving license. So much fun, now I can't wait till I go on holiday to play where I can scuba!

HID's in my car now thanks to peeps.

Octoberfest at uni was loads of fun too.
First time ever at a live dubstep set, wasn;t too bad at all especially when the guy on the decks dropped promises.



During exams I procrastinated by rolling ciggies.

I won some money from the Melbourne Cup. 
Damn it was a close race!

For my birthday I had a 1meter long pizza at crinities.
Damn it was cheap too!! 


Sculptures by the sea was cool.

These things scared me though.

CSE (computer science engineering) Review was pretty bad. 

I can make a pretty mean garlic and rosemary roast pork too.


So that's what I missed on this blog in the past two months. I hope I will be getting back into it because I know there's loads I missed out on and so much can happen in a month or two! I have come to realise that I'm super forgetful and it's just not cool! Memories needs to be cherished.

So much has changed about my mindset. I have also gotten myself into a bit of financial trouble but oh well I'm working on it, literally.
