Biking:
Yeap.

Matt:
He was there, second day in a row! He's the one who discovered the

New Location:
A park just across the street from Crytal Lake Elementary. Or is it Christina Huddleston...I can never tell the two apart. The one on 175th, anyway. It has the same facilities as Cherry View Park, except the rink is asphalt and the walls are slightly lower (by around 2" I would say). In some respect, it has a better playground too. I think we may have to become more advanced for it to be truly useful, but we were able to mess around a bit.

Wall Runs:
Got Matt started on his first wall runs today. The park has a keystone wall along the street that's a few bricks above head height. I can still do them just fine, as usual. It's good to have something to practice on, even though I would rather it wasn't keystoned.

Lazy Vaults:
It was a lower wall, so the were really easy. Next step is to try and take it at a sprint.

Kong Vaults:
Tried them on a new table, from a new direction today. It took a few attempts to get used to, but they're great now. I need to continue trying these in unfamiliar environments.

Precisions:
Just jumping from one slide ledge to the next. Fairly difficult, but it'll come with more practice.

Speed Vaults:
Done over an awkwardly angled bench, I need to start trying these on something higher. Maybe even the rink fence.

Playground Movement:
Just messed around on the playground. Got from one end to the other without touching the actual platforms, practiced using just arms to get up poles, etc etc.
