The "One Giant Leap"parkour campaign

What's One Giant Leap?It is a parkour campaign,or event.A FUN event!!!

12.00-12.45
Firstly,I called Yushen to meet at my house.Then,we set off to Wen Sern,our new photographer's house by bike.We chated there while waiting for Justin to come so we can go to the campaign together.After Justin arrived,we started our journey to the campaign.
12.45-3.00
As we always did,we chated when we were on the way to KLCC,the campaign's venue.We walked around in the shopping centre until we decided to have our lunch at burger king.The meal was delicious!After that,we continued window-shopping before we gather with the other parkour players near burger king.(yeah...burger king again)
3.00-4.30
Justin has once said that parkour players are always very friendly as they had build up disipline in themselves.It is true!!We made a lot of friends there.All of us did some stretches,light conditionings and much more.After we warmed up ourselves,he headed to the park to have some fun jumping around.It really feels different when you see professionals doing their skills with your own eyes.You will be very impressed.Too bad,the park was a very good place for parkour, but the guard wasn't that pleasured to see us jumping around the playground.Yeah,he chased us away.So,we decided to go to central market(near central market) for more.All of us went there by LRT.
4.30-approximately 5.15
We arrived at the central market in no time.The pros thaught us some skills like basic vaults.
Firstly,he trained us by asking us to do the cat-linking(correct me if I spelled it wrongly).This training hurt my hand very badly.It seems like my hands went numb for a short moment.After that,we did a lot of precisions.The place was like a bridge and there was a river under it.There were also some big water pipes connecting from one side of the river to the other.(okay,it's a drain.........)We saw those pros did precisions on those pipes!!!Without falling!!!
Omg their skills were extremely great.Their jumping ranges are far,they can balance very well,they have great speed and efficiency and much more!!!Me? Just kept on doing precisions on a safer spot,practising.
5.15-6.00(approximately)
We changed our location again.This time,we went to the place that the pros call it pentagon. A perfect place to train our climbing efficiency.Okay.....I was very impressed to see them climb a 1-floor-height wall just by kicking off the wall and grabbing the top part of it with their hands!!!Don't think that it is easy.You may think that "eleh~What's so impressive by doing these monkey-like-thingy?" Include this thought in your mind and you will get a "nice" treat from me if I get to read your mind.Seriously,it really needs a lot of training to be as good as this.Justin,Yushen,Wen,me and some newbies were just climbing the low walls.Nevermind,at least we practised to be better.
6.00-6.30
All of us went to Dataran Merdeka,where the pros will do all kinds of somersaults.That was the moment that I have been waiting for.I wanted eagerly to see them doing all kinds of flips.OMG THEY ARE REAL PROFESSIONALS!!!!!!!!!!!Besides watching,we also did some training ourselves.I got very happy when I knew that I can roll on a concrete floor.YEAH!!!


Every moment doesn't last forever as it is time to for us to return home.Though we were hurt,it was still worth it as we get to know more friends and learn more skills.I hope a campaign like that can be held again in the future and I will involve myself in it one more time for SURE.
