I like this route, ending is very difficult to stick though ;)

Playing around with castaways - never really trained them much. Difficult when I can't get an extended swing, but keeping the body short gets you going faster than a normal swing.

Haven't spent much time on striding at Freeway but Loren and I found this fun route today. The only restriction was two steps on the dirt and I tried to make the rest low impact.

Surprised I'm able to even approach this...haven't worked on giants for probably 12 years. I was at a playground awhile back though and my brain just told me I could throw into a handstand from the swings I was working on.

Scary to work on without aids but I really want to build up that confidence to use outside...somehow.

I'm at about 2.4 seconds right now closing in on 2.2. This one is nice since it's easy to duplicate, what is yours?

Good to have it - I like the new push away technique I'm using on the backswing to get more momentum. The precision would be crazy but I need more momentum and a bit more height I think. Gap is about 7ft

P823

Create a route (lowline works well) and experiment with replacing parts with rolls (rolls over obstacles, dive rolls, back rolls off things, sideways shoulder rolls).

Learned a few new entrances to back rolls off things and trained precise exits out of roll to landings on other obstacles...feels good

Gymnastics style kip seemed to work the best from a standstill to a pop up. Figured out that I'm actually driving from the hips for these rather than using my shoulders like I originally thought...

Some versions of this were better but it was extremely tiring and didn't get it filmed ;) Justin and I kept adding on more tricky movements...

Filmed and edited on iPhone 4. The wide-angle lens sucks as my better one was at home. Splice adds letterboxing and lowers the resolution a bit :(

At first this was just a really tricky tac off the vault box that I could only barely get - but then I figured out reaching back behind for a tac actually worked! It got me easily several more feet :)

Shot and edited on iPhone 4. Trying out Splice this time, really quick to use but fairly simplistic. For speed I think it outdoes iMovie. Slomo works really well! Looks like there is a bug with the titles adding size to the video though, shouldn't be letterboxed

This was weird to figure out! It's not really a lache to start - more of a strange brachiation. I think I can get both hands to switch though, just a weird direction to get power in.

In other news, magnetic gorillapod + suction cup, iPhone 4, iMovie and the updated PicPosterous rocks :) Download the full to check

Trying out ReelDirector this time on the iPhone 4 - slower than iMovie but a lot more control, wish I could get slow-motion though. Saved and uploaded through the phone via PicPosterous, should be close to HD quality. Gets compressed twice though which kills the motion, Apple needs to hurry up and allow better saving and exporting for photos and video!

The new phone shoots some rather incredible video (download through Posterous to see the actual quality) but iMovie is pretty underwhelming to edit with - especially since you still need to sync to the computer to grab the full quality file.

Before the lab wall was resurfaced and the wall railing and extra ledge were added in I got the idea to try this horrendous cat to cat. It's a wider than 90 degree angle to a small 2x4 ledge and was the first really annoying challenge that took more than one day to get. Like most video I have it's been waiting around to be edited for awhile - enjoy.

A mix of injuries and an overload of computer work recently threw my training way out of whack. Still trying to stretch as much as I can while now working on gymnastics presses and simple jumps to get back into things.

Was working on different bailing scenarios, didn't realize how hard it actually is to grab the line when failing - it moves away! No pads beneath so just working on fear, balance, and catching the line. No steps yet.
