The Demo Team would like to thank Durham County Council for the opportunity and we look forward to performing for you again in the future. Training Sunday 11th October The team were in high spirits after the demo performance on friday and were looking forward to some leisure time, the team turned up at 6 as usual unfortunately some team members could not make it due to prior commitments. A steady warm up to some Pitbull and Akon was energetic and funny especially when we ended up doing leap frog. The warm up out the way Master Russ give the team a free lesson to practice techniques which we would like to work towards. Sam our new member and a promising talent started working on Round off Back Tucks with Master Russell and Myself (Ray) to gain confidence however we all laughed when he tried it in the sponge pit and totally wiped out. Natalie was also gaining confidence with the same technique and is now adding double flash kicks to the arsenal. Ben and Lauren were keen to chat and play music of my Ipod lol, however were concentrating on fitness and doing floor exercise together such as crunches and leg raises. Tom and Jack took it upon themselves to master butterfly twist which none of the team have done in a while and think next week we should all have a go. Keep going boys you weren't far off making them. Brett was doing the usual flipping around until me and russ hauled him over to try a new break which resulting in him face planting the foam, very funny (russell's idea blame him, lol). Dean; brother of brett was out of action due to a broken toe (thanks tom, lol) however showed support and came down to watch. Myself was taking it easy after a run from Ferryhill to training yet still had some energy to flip around. 10 minutes from the end of the lesson i though of a new break using Sam and Natalie however it is still in the works and I'm sure they will perfect it in the future, sorry guys and girls cant let you in on it just yet or it would spoil the surprise at the christmas demonstration. Well i think that's about it for training this sunday, keep checking the blog for further info on the team and demonstrations. |
