I went to jumcreet parkour gym but it was closed. I went to a nearby, oddly serene, drainage ditch instead. The descent went well but the transition to running could be better. I'm still happy with it.
我去了 Jumcreet 跑酷馆，但它关门了。于是，我转而去了附近一条安静得出奇的排水渠。下降过程很顺利，但过渡到跑步的部分还有提升空间。我对此仍然感到满意。

i didn't realize how much more complicated the curved bars at the top made the climb until i got up there
直到爬上去，我才意识到顶部的弧形杆让攀爬变得复杂了多少。
لم أدرك مدى التعقيد الإضافي الذي أضافته القضبان المنحنية في القمة للتسلق إلا عندما صعدتُ إلى هناك.

I saw some children playing on the rocks so I had to try them out. Turns out they're great rocks.
我看到一些小孩在那些岩石上玩耍，所以我也得试试。结果发现，这些岩石真不错。
رأيت بعض الأطفال يلعبون على تلك الصخور، فاضطررت إلى تجربتها. اتضح أنها صخور رائعة.

This wall is easy to climb but difficult to master due to it's protrusions. Perhaps a dynamic climb directly to the top would be best.
这面墙易于攀爬，但因表面有凸起而难以精通。也许直接动态上攀到顶是最好的方法。
هذا الجدار سهل التسلق لكنه صعب الإتقان بسبب نتوئاته. ربما يكون التسلق الديناميكي مباشرة إلى القمة هو الأفضل.

This place combined many common inconveniences in one. A small run up, smooth walls, many pedestrians, and a random bike in the way. Still, there's a way to make it work

the hidden final rock has an irregular surface hence the transition from a stride to a precision jump
隐藏的最后一块岩石表面不规则，因此需要从跨步转为精准跳跃。
للصخرة المخفية الأخيرة سطح غير منتظم، ولهذا السبب يتحول الحركة من خطوة إلى قفزة دقيقة.

Oh I missed. This spot is interesting because the takeoff is steep and smooth so you must come at it quickly but at the same time the landing spot is a wide turn so it makes landing on the pole precisely difficult.

I went to the foundation of the imperial audience hall of the latter naniwa palace. The marking points of the pillars have just enough room to stride between. Perhaps at a very specific time in history I could have jumped across these at great risk to life and limb.

I did some wall climbs near osaka museum of art. I met a nice local woman who introduced herself as Meg. We had a brief conversation about local birds, even pointing out one of the famous Japanese Bluebirds. Thank you for subscribing, Meg.

This wall had some red herrings. The holes were too small and also had spiky bits in them. Luckily i found a lip partway to the top, but even that was sloped downward.

I went to 重庆跃飞跑酷馆 and just sent some flips since I never tried it before. One of the staff there, 可乐, gave me some instructions which was helpful, even through my limited chinese. Despite this, I still find myself twisting a bit, perhaps muscle memory from doing dive rolls. Not bad for the first day

Third time in a parkour gym first time in china. You take your shoes off here, so it was unique just wearing socks. They gave me socks with grip, which I thought only psych wards had. I was able to do a tic tac but a standard wall climb was off the table. I put the barrier a little too close haha.

I would have preferred to go skip the sides of the stairs and pop up directly to the fence but there are light fixtures that would be hard to avoid breaking
我本想跳过楼梯两侧，直接弹上围栏，但那里有灯具，很难避免撞坏。
كنت نحب نقز على جنبي الدرج و نطلع مباشرة للسياج، ولكن عندهوم مصابيح، صعب نتجنب نكسرهم.

Initially tried to wall jump off the pillar to reach the first bar but it was too slippery and almost caused me to careen off the cliff. With more precision and grippier shoes, plus more confidence in dynamic climbing this can get very fast. For now I am satisfied with this baseline.

The chain link fence poses a unique opportunity to see a wall climb from the inverse side while also posing challenge to avoid wrapping around a pole since there is something in the way

water challenges can be scary. Luckily if I do a poor run-up i can recover with a double jump
水挑战可能会让人紧张。幸运的是，如果我助跑没做好，还能用一个二段跳来补救。

The other side of the river was way less gross so I did do the climb here.
河对岸那边干净多了，所以我选择在这里完成了攀爬。
الجهة الثانية للواد كانت أطيب بزاف، علاش فعلًا عملت الصعيبة هنا.

From afar this had potential. But the tree made striding slow. I also tried climbing an offscreen pillar but the top was too tall for me to top out. Oh well, have fun seeing my exploration.
从远处看，这里很有潜力。但那棵树让我的跨越步变得很慢。我还尝试爬了画面外的一根柱子，但顶部太高，我没法完成翻上。好吧，希望大家喜欢看我的探索过程。

There's this restaurant here in ipoh that sells "economy rice" where they give you three random vegetables. I think I finally understand gacha games because I just got a 3 star sweet potato pull for lunch and Im still riding that high in the evening.

I am still surprised at how much softer rolling on grass is than stone. I can probably improve the flow by doing a turn vault with the other hand.
我至今仍然惊讶于在草地上翻滚比在石头上柔软多少。或许我可以通过换一只手做转身支撑来改善动作的流畅性。

雨后我终于有机会重新开始跑酷了。地面仍然很泥泞，导致我在往上爬时胫骨撞了四次，脚还磕了一下。幸运的是，下来时没有任何问题。这面墙是一个有趣的谜题，因为有许多凸起物可以提供向上的路径，但这些凸起也会积聚水分和泥土，所以很滑。由于高度问题，顶部的金刚跳有点别扭。也许直接迈过去也行，不过，这样也够好了。

这次攀爬因下雨有点危险。我只完成了4次，可用的抓握点就全都沾满泥泞了。倒数第二个檐面是倾斜的，但围墙底部平坦且多尘，所以我能在抓住金属杆之前及时弄干手。桥下有一位等零工的友善伙计，他称赞了我的攀爬技术。他很礼貌地自行避开了拍摄范围。

我们各自用自己的方式应对了这个水上挑战。约翰内斯的背景更侧重于攀岩，所以他选择了手臂跳跃；而我的跑酷背景让我更倾向于跑跳。我花的时间稍长一些，因为那个小小的台阶让助跑感觉很奇怪。你们能看到我不得不稍微增加步幅来避开它。至于那个手臂跳跃，我不明白他怎么可以穿着凉鞋完成。不过，管用就行。我们俩都成功过去了，没有掉进水里。
