HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

It was a year ago today that we decided to set up this quaint little blog we call the SaiyanGarden. It was our good friend Dale who encouraged us to get a blog saying "Think, in a year from now you can look back and so how far you have come." But its been more than that, its allowed us to keep up with Mogli's events in Austria, and its given us a place to have a moan without it being moderated. Its also meant we have kept in touch with all our good traceur friends around the country and the world and kept us just about visible on the parkour radar. lol
Anyway hopefully this next year we'll post a little more. If anyone wants to see what we've been ranting on about this year past; it's all there in the archives.
Hopefully see everyone soon

ps: Hi again to all the people we met at the Trace Gathering, if we didn't trade numbers there drop us a message and we'll hook up and practise.
Peace SaiyanClan

Parkour Coaching with the Yamakasi

It all kicked off on Sunday the 13th May in Kilburn at St Augustine's School, with the Parkour Coaching Seminar Hosted by Forrest, Dan and Stephane. It was the first time we've been able to jump on a bus straight from Edgware to practise with some of the top traceurs from France and the UK. On the way to the event, we met up with a good friend of ours, Thomas who was strolling along with Dan, Stephane, Kazuma, Laurent, Yann and also Seb Goudot and Cisco who we hadn't seen since our adventure to Lisses. When we arrived at the school we we're surrounded by familiar faces including The TCT, Blane, DC, The Brads from WWJ, Jason, Liv, and Bachelerius.
The day was packed with conditioning and drills which judging by everyones faces and the volume of sweat on the floor, was as killer for everyone as it was for us. Some of the highlights of the day were: Bobby and Kazuma sliding backwards while doing the splits under a gym horse, which was well fuckin cool; the circuit which consisted of underbars through the various levels of apparatus which we hadn't used since school days. Having some one on one coaching from Yann Hnautra and getting some insight into how he and the others train was really inspiring, but it was clear that they we're more accustomed to outdoor training, as Seb said there are limits to indoor practise.
The cool down at the end was tougher than the warm up, which gave us a sneaky suspicion that Forrest and Dan were intent on pushing everyone to their limits. All in all a brilliant day, well worth the bus fare lol.
Thanks to Parkour Coaching Ltd for setting it all up, and thanks to DC for the heads up. For a full wite up on the day click here.

Trace

Unless you've been living in a cave for the past year or so, The name Jason Matten needs no introduction. He's responsible for the series of parkour mini documentaries known as PKVM, and his next project is finally ready!

Trace clothing is an ambitious new line of Parkour clothing which provides a well needed alternative to other dominating freerunning brand$. What sets Trace apart is an emphasis on the positive promotion of Parkour and is not just plastered with meaningless symbols of over-glorified companies. When Jason first approached us, we were a little sceptical as we weren't very keen to get involved with a brand again. But what sold it to us was Jason's ideas which stretched beyond the clothing line, in actually wanting to help others. Also having the several like-minded traceurs from across the UK who we have a great deal of respect for. Obviously wearing Trace clothing is not going to make you run faster or jump higher, it isnt going to make you a better traceur, but it will make you look cool. lol but seriously some of these designs are fantastic and as the motto says, they are made "For Traceurs By Traceurs". At this stage the prices are no higher than other brands and obviously they are not essential but if you got a spare bit of dough and want some kick-ass new threads its definitely worth a look.

One of the first projects that extends beyond the clothing range is the TRACEUR gathering '07. This is a 3 day Parkour/Camping/all out mad adventure event from the 31st July to the 2nd August. It will see more that 150 traceurs camping at the field head campside in Edale, training and having a laugh in the beautiful natural environments of the peak district.
Trace reps Jin, Owen, Blane, Dave, Danny, Brad, and ourselves will all be present and leading the training in groups, the evening activities/conditioning and helping out where they can aswell as training and having a good time ourselves. There should also be a couple of special guests too.

All in all Trace is something that is here to stay, there is nothing good about a monopoly and Trace is just one player on this fast expanding board. More good things to come...
