are you the one that always turns up to training whenever you feel like despite what anyone else is doing?
are you finding that everyone else only turns up if you do? in turn, are you asked every session by everyone who trains with you whether you're training or not resulting in too much ££££ spent on text messages?
are you the one asked to bring CDs/borderline legal stimulants to a gym session?
are you "the pied piper" of your tricking group? (thank you for this phrase, jay haha :wink:)

Aha, I would most definitely not go to a gathering until I felt decent, despite that no-one would care >.<

i like to train with other people, i feel the more people turn up for a session the better the group feeling and higher intensity.
I'm usually the one phoning/texting round asking if people are coming to sessions etc, it doesnt really bother me tbh.
I gave up bringing CD's because motherfuckers kept stealing them.

We don't have that phenomenon here, as our tricks community is comprised mostly of would-be pied pipers. There are a few exceptions, of course, but the majority of us are addicted. :D

I try to get to the gym whenever possible, but kirk always gets pissed that i don't spend enough time on floor!:tongue: I always try to get hte other guys to come and we all bring music. I don't htink i'm the one that always wants to train, but i'm always wanting to go enough if its just to goof off.

Slashing the "borderline" part

unfortunately, i'm that guy.
(this was probably pretty obvious anyway haha :tongue:)
i like training with people who like to train and <3 my training buddies. however this apparent obliged responsibility has the worst possible effect on my tricks/motivation in general. so i'm dropping it.
