Sledgehammer was Awesome!

The first ever Parkour Mumbai Sledgehammer was one heckuva challenge, and a fun, engaging event, both for participants, and for spectators. Although the participant turnout was modest, but it was expected, and a learning experience for us. And despite this NOT being a Parkour competition, it did bring out quite a few revelations about the workings of our discipline, as well as proving several hypotheses posed by leading Parkour practitioners regarding training in and for Parkour, and measuring progress of an athlete. We also saw some interesting lap times of participants, and we'll be adding a new page to the website soon which will display detailed time-sheets of all participants for each event.

Expect more minor changes to the format of the Sledgehammer Challenge over the next few weeks. Once again, we'll keep everyone posted of the changes made on our Sledgehammer Facebook Page, so be sure to Like it to be notified of them, and of other Sledgehammer news.

Photos and videos of the first event coming soon.

In the end, I would like to personally thank everyone who participated in the event, and more so to all those who so generously volunteered for work throughout the day of the event, and to all my other class students who chipped in with bits of help every now and then during the entire conception and planning phase of the event when I needed it the most, who came through when my own teammates and friends didn't, to help make this event such a success. Even though the first one wasn't very big by any yardstick, it was still fun, and successful in its own right, and let's hope we make the Sledgehammer Challenge an even grander event in the time to come.
