St. George Parcour Weekend!

The first weekend in December, Chris and I had a chance to get out of the very cold and into the still a bit cold but not too cold, by visiting Josh and Meisha at their new place in Ivins. We didn't take pictures all weekend (as evidenced by the absence of Meisha and myself from these photos), but I did manage to capture a few candid moments during a hike we took. After spending some time on youtube, Chris and Josh decided that they want to become hard core parcour athletes and started practicing their new sport every chance they got. =)

For viewing the photos it really works out best, especially for the action shots, if you view them from the bottom and go up. (I'm still learning how to post for blogs) Enjoy!

My pants got a hole in the knee on the hike. :(

My view during the decent. It looked much easier going up!

These panoramics are a setting on my cell phone camera...the lighting was dark, so it was hard to line up just right, but I think you get the idea anyway from the photos that turned out.Looking up from the place we stopped. This was all that was left til we'd hit the top. Even though we were close, we decided to save the rest of the hike for another day, as the dark clouds were rolling in and the cold winds were picking up. The last part of the hike was slippery from the loose rocks and sand, and very steep, so we knew we'd have to take it slower on the way down and didn't want to have to do it in the rain...
