These dinners are merely to bring everyone together, to talk and have fun, to reminisce on the year coming to a close and the beginning of a new one.

Day 3 involved a meet-up at Queens park, with a small warm-up before splitting into groups and moving about downtown toronto's hot-spots.
Followed by all the groups meeting back up at Queens park, then making our way down to harbour front.
Songs used :
1) Beck - Where it's at
2) Cage the elephant - No rest for the wickedSummer 2009 - Day 2TheMonkeyVault2009-10-21 | PKTO' 5th Annual Summer Gathering.
Day 2 included a trek through High Park, before arriving to the High Park Playground, unfortunately we were not able to train there, so we went over to our 2nd playground choice.
Later in the afternoon we traveled to Ashbridges Bay beach for some fun in the sun, on the rocks and in the water.

Day 1 included training at Cloud Gardens in Toronto, with a Timed Obstacle Course Run to end the afternoon before heading to the Monkey Vault Training Centre for more fun and training.
The Timed run had prizes given out later that day but not for the fastest times, but rather for people who displayed unique alternative ways of moving about Cloud Gardens touching each X, or to those that pushed and showed their all despite a longer time.
We had a fun time, training was great..we'll be doing this again next year.

Chase tries to do the medicine route backwards after completing it the normal way.
This is hard to do..... ha....3Runs Chase Armitage takes on the medicine route! (part1)TheMonkeyVault2009-08-30 | Rarely can someone walk into our gym and do the whole medicine route right away, so we give Chase extreme credit for the great physical shape hes in. Very good well rounded athlete!
Unfortunately though for Chase, he hasn't beat our record yet for the medicine route, but he will be here a couple more months. ;)
For those wondering the medicine route is a giant route around the training centre that tests your grip, and general endurance in a lot of areas.summer 2009 teaserTheMonkeyVault2009-08-29 | Summer Meet 2009 "teaser" vid.

You like having fun? We like training with you brah.Stephen 54 & 1/2 inch box jumpTheMonkeyVault2009-03-16 | Stephen surprises us yet again with some more improvement. 54 1/2 inch box jump. We tried to build it for 55 inches but, wasn't quite there. Regardless, he will hit 55+ soon. Training seems to be working, that's a good thing. I'd like to see him reach a goal of 58" one day.
For those Parkour people wondering why box jump? Box jump is a -powerful- movement that is very closely related to Parkour. It is one of the foundation movements in our training program here.
.....We have to start posting videos of other people too.Stephen Wall Side Flip - www.themonkeyvault.comTheMonkeyVault2009-03-04 | Does your wall sideflip look like this? No?
