WOOHOO FOR SENIOR PROJECTS!

Yes, one would normally think a Senior project is never fun, but it can give one an opportunity to do something that they otherwise probably wouldn't do....hence, the Parkour Classes!

For his Senior Project, Landon took on some Parkour classes.  If you're wondering what Parkour is, someone once described it as learning how to get away from Law Enforcement if, in fact, they are chasing you....
another definition could be..."is a physical discipline which focuses on efficient movement around obstacles...to teach participants how to move through their environment by vaulting, rolling, running, climbing, and jumping."  Doesn't that sound right up Landon's alley!?!
He's really enjoyed it and learned that he has muscles he never knew he had.  He actually did very well in the class and caught on quickly.  I think the instructor liked having him there.  
Here are some pictures that give you an idea of the class.












 ...and yes, he did make almost all the jumps he tried, including this one.  The instuctor hadn't been able to make this jump himself, but thought Landon might be able to, and Landon was able to do it the first time.
