First of all, Thanks LBSS and VAG for the support.
Some time.. I mixed up the 2 of you... both are experienced hardcore vert trainer that always give me direct and to the point training advice. I wish everyone here Happy New Year.
Oh yes, I missed Adarq question. My girl is still running with me weekly 30min long run or 6 x 500m sprint.
as for my update:
201231 The Final Jump for 2020Every year... i have to Jump on my Bday and on Dec 31..
this year is no different.
there only different is all the Court is Closed. I mean.. Court with Gate is locked. Court with no gate is all Fenced off by rope or warning label. Some court is open but the rim is Blocked or even removed.
I went to many court around my work place only to found them all locked or fenced off. Very disappointing. One day, i decided to take my Med ball and just go Toss it in a court 15 min away. During my trip toward the, i head some playing ball in a private court (with in a estate). Which is illegal, i guess the private estate did not Lock or taken removed the rim. Anyway.. so i walk toward my destination... and this is what happen...

And i also found out that private court baller is actually that young Girl that i see every day during my training. (i talked about her in chinese in the video) THis girl is extremely hardworking.. like me.. she is constantly looking for court to practice. and she is ahead of me finding this court.
The next few days.. i went to this court to jump and meet up with her dad and talked to him about how impressed i am with his daughter. The dad told me, if u see police coming ur way, run away from that other exit. They have experienced this last sunday morning when more people is playing here.
I told her dad, Ur girl remind me of Kobe. the desire to practice and train in a consistent manner. Lebron once said... when he want to be lazy and take a break... he think of Kobe.. because he know.. some where.. kobe is Training hard. and when u take a break... he is pulling away. This girl remind me of the same thing.... She is practicing somewhere... everyday... when it rain.. she is dribbling the ball in some hallway. (her dad confirmed this with me)
A week later... even this private court.. is no more... the management decided to remove the rim. So i no longer see this girl.
However, I continue to go there, at least here, I have a space to Jump and some thing to Reach for.
And here I am.. last week and last day of 2020. I am Still jumping.
Nothing good... but at least.. i am still doing it.

I will make some changes... to my routine.
Won't give up... just yet.
BTW, i made a new frd on IG recently, A vertical Training lawyer which is 10 yrs younger than me .
I see myself in him, may be not as strong, not as handsome, not as skillful, but we have many thing in common in jumping, especially when I was in my Prime/peak.
And he seems to be popular on IG too.. some lifting page feature his fail funny lift once.
peace out. and lets hope 2021 will be better.
