I'm gueing your gymnastics background helped a bit?<br /><br />Tamara: I wish I had a camera then too! Cricket i aweome, you must give it a try one day - after all if I can sit through (and generally enjoy) rugby these days then anything is possible!<br /><br />EEbEE: the step individually are choreographed sort-of-ish, but the order you do them in and stuff is improvised. I think. I only learned 2 kicks so it wasn't all that tricky ;)<br /><br />Kath: well then you'd love our cricket game, tons of icy liquids, big hat and relatively comfy eats. Just in full sun on the. hottest. day. ever! (and without a direct line of sight to the cheerleaders, which according to the mostly male group, was not good)<br /><br />eidos: I think swoosshing is possible, with enough practice. The old lady was the mother of one of the other participant, who had been dragged along by her kid. She pent a large part of the evening huddled on the floor in the foetal position while one of the advanced students tried really hard to help her participate but kept kicking her by mistake.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098708210972869491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33660444.post-62333556674896893452010-09-22T07:24:27.745+03:002010-09-22T07:24:27.745+03:00Capoeira, i really like the acrobatics in it. it&...Capoeira, i really like the acrobatics in it. it's kind of the martial art you would expect a gymnast to practice. it looks like if you can figure out the sweep and the jumping round house, you'd get like 75% of what's done in the video...well, minus the "swooshy" sound effects, that's just not humanly possible.<br /><br />i was kicked in the face numerous times when i was about 16. was i the old lady you were referring to?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33660444.post-69130317124173684392010-09-22T04:26:01.022+03:002010-09-22T04:26:01.022+03:00Crikey!

It always looked like fun, but as Po says - people took it really seriously.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the cricket. I'll never understand why people watch it, but as long as you had fun ;-)<br /><br />That hawker sounds awesome. I would have loved to get him on camera ;-)Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875207633073348136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33660444.post-28920320940248635292010-09-21T14:38:19.980+03:002010-09-21T14:38:19.980+03:00Awwwww I loved capoeira so much, it was my ideal s...Awwwww I loved capoeira so much, it was my ideal sport! It screwed my back up so badly I had to mostly lie down for two years and still suffer pain, but I am naturally skew so it is not really the sports fault. I miss it. I don't miss the kind of weird religious cult aspect of it though, it was a bit spooky how loyal you were supposed to be to your group, and how training with another group was some kind of betrayal.pohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711119384786965311noreply@blogger.com
