...on BROADWAY

July12, 2010
BANGKOK is the best! It's incredible how much sport climbing has changed so much during the past 10 years and now it is so popular with young Thai kid. Sport climbing became popular in Thailand 10 years ago ( I am guessing but more or less 10yrs) and a Thai guy named P'Tom started introducing the sport here. He had been living in Italy for a long time and brought the sport back to THAILAND. I have been to this competition many times, and every time I have such a good time (BANGKOK) yet I'm still impressed with my backyard, I've covered a lot of new ground and the landscape in the last week and it always continues to inspire me.

Cranked up RStr
Last weekend in B-Town, after I failed to qualify in the competition, i felt a growing sense of competitiveness and I wanted to start training right away, but how i can find motivation, and keep up all hard work to become the WINNER? Two thai boys and another two best Farang mate, we're going down to Bangkok together for crankin' up in the competition, we were so psyched for the comp, and I felt SUPER stoked again, and my hand got so PumPed!. In the first qualification round there were 12 different problems set on a really nice wall, and 45 competitors this year, there were a bunch of people that came from all different places, VERY cool tho!.I only got to beat up just 6 problems and flash 3 problems, second goal 2 problems, and bonus 1 problem of 12, because I wasted time waiting forother people for so long. That was the silly thing about this year, the time to short, 1 HOUR and 15 min for 45 people, it so ridiculous for me, I can't even push my self to finish all the problems, I didn't feel tired but I just felt so frustrated because the time was so short. But it wasn't an excuse, And this is the way I see it: COMPETITIONistheGAME, you not only compete with other people but you have to be smart for the game!. I felt a bit frustrated with my self that i could not get into the final, but I learned many things. The best way is for me to learn what I need to do better and work on it!

Team Jens!!!

Since the last comp in B-TOwn 4 months ago, I felt like I wanted more and to crank it up even harder and i'VE been training for awhile but unfortunately i haven't gone running for a while, because it seems like i lost my motivation. But it’s not bad actually and I'm still climbing harder. Last Saturday the 26th of May, we had the Rock 'n Roast community event at the "Horsy." There were bunch of people CLIMBing together, and it was really fun to get connected with new people. Some people were climbing for their 1st time and others were climbing geeks! Dude, I was not supposed to be there, because my dad was in the hospital but finally I made it, Add was stayed with him instead " DOOD are you sure?!” I asked him but he wasn't disappointed at all. I was happy to be outside and crushing the 11d, the first try was a lil rough but i did it on the second try, so WICKED!

RAMBO STR?!
the Best part of the day was when I got to the top pitch on the 11d "HEAD hunter", because it is the horses head! It was my third time to crank it up on the HEAD and every time I go up there, I feel super STOKED! and had such a great time but it’ a little scary because it’s a dangerous spot and the rope could break! lol

Crankin' out man
All my back are packed, ready to CRANK!. I will head down to Bangkok in a couple days for the Comp, so I am super EXCITED... Can't wait to be there and meet up with Thai friends see you guys soon!

My Lady was trying to made me jealous, but it was CUTE tho! thank you for everythin' I'm so appreciate that!. MY best wishes to you lovely. goin' to finished STRONG!

Cheers!
