It's winter. The grass is always wet and it's freezing outside. This sucks. I haven't tricked in nearly a month now. What do other people who live in cold climates do? I haven't got much of a gym either. I can go once a week and even then I have no one to trick with. Thoroughly demotivated. Strangly though, I'm more flexible. Does not doing anything physical for a while let all the work set in or something? I was stretching at karate on tuesday and i could throw my legs up way past my head, easier than a few weeks ago when I was stretching. Anyone know why this is? I noticed I could kick high, but I couldn't go my normal depth with front splits.
Haha at least you live in subtropical North Island but yeah it sucks.
The majority is lapping up the start of summer.
I am going to be spending the winter holidays in the Fiordland mountains so i won't be able to trick then unless we get a decent snow.
The last time i was there the temperature stayed between 2 degrees and minus 12 degrees.
OH WINTER BLUES....
Its wet over here to :eh:

I live in england, we dont get seasons. we get sporadic good weather between the months of march through to august time, but most of the time it just rains...
It's not that bad haha! i'm able to trick outside atleast 3-4 times a week.
muhuaha right now i love living in Latvia :smile: the weather is perfect - dry, not too hot or cold...
30 celsius+ weather here :smile: Beaches are open, everything is awesome.

I wouldn't mind if if it was gale force 9 outside, as long as its dry. Lol. But the damn grass is always wet, even on sunny days like today, I wait till the afternoon....and its still wet. Then the sun starts going down and it starts to bloody freeze. I can trick on wet grass, or frozen grass. lol
What part of NZ are you in?

Oh yeah, Taupo's kind of cold, doesn't get snow there.
My uncle is in Turangi, been up there before but i didn't know what tricking was back then.
