Aight, might aswell update.
So today I was planning on going up to West Van to check out the free parkour class Zanshin was putting on. My brother was being a hypocritical douche and running off to do other things other then come back and drive me. Apparently since he said that he would drive me, he can do whatever the fuck he wants until he decides to come and get me. Well anyways, my mom drives me out to lougheed and I get a call from Rene saying that he cant wait anymore and he goes off to get thomas, which is reasonable so Im there at the skytrain station with no real directions to the place. SoooOOoo I train it out to granville station, and my instructions were to get a bus that goes to marine dr. First try and I got it, except little to my understanding.. it goes east on marine dr. So me having no clue about the area, I head off to North Van and eventually find my way to a 14th street in there. And I was like "Oh yay, the directions were right" I spent about an hour and a half, possibly two hours walking about North Van, until I went and made change to bus the other way into West Van. Luckily that went smoother and I did find the place, which I just crashed at and whatever until the class was over. I was so releaved to be in there though. Ugh.. stressss
So the class.. Id say about.. 20-30 people showed up (it was overbooked, too. thats how tiny the place is.) to the tiny ass non-sprung gym. And the way Rene, Freaki, and thomas had the class structure, i loved it. It was great, one of the best ways to teach parkour in such a setting. Because with all the workshops we've done, it was more like "How to parkour: 101" but with this set up, much like a martial arts class, we can condition the students. We have the time and ability to mold their bodies to better suit parkour! Its great.
So we got the deal, and the liscenes. so the next month is parkour at West Van once a week. Instructors get paaaaid.
So yea, after the class we all went outside and fooled around. Eventually a really really drunk war veteran came out and wanted to back out of his parking space, we were no less than 25feet away on the other side of the street, yet the man would not even get in his car and turn it on because we were too close. He was being rude to us and yelled at us, in a drunken manner. As he drove away he shouted profanities at me, and the rest of the crew ran after the car stopping him and mouthing him off <3. We continued to trick and stunt, which led to a pole spin contest on a stop sign. The police were called. Long angry talk with them. Angry Thomas, angry Freaki. Went to 7/11, then to beach, then crammed into Rene's car and listened to hip hop beats, techno, and some weird songs that thomas gets extremely psyched about. And then I bused home, and all is well.. I suppose.
On a side note, I think im going to stop going out at night..
