This year Gayprise Amsterdam was a higly political (even hetrosexual) kind of affair. I saw all kinds of political boats (cities / ministeries / companies / parties) and a lot of (hetrosexual) women.

Stretching with Bob Cooley

00:45 mareku 0 Comments

Bob Cooley was in a car accident in 1976 and as a result needed to learn to move all over again. He found I new technique: stretching the muscle while contracting it. It turned out a huge success for himself and later also for others. He began practicing his Meridian Flexibility System and now teaches other instructors. My trainer JoJo is obsessed with this guy so when Bob was in Holland to train instructors I had to meet him. Within 30 minutes I improved my reach with 12 inches :-)) It is really amazing. While in Amsterdam Bob stretched Turner Epke Zonderland to help him overcome an injury so he is fit for Gold in Bejing.

 In the impressive museum for crashed airplanes in Heemskerk you see how brave the crew were during that times. More then 7.000 planes crashes in Holland (mostly on their way to Germany and back). I didn't know about this musem but passed it by chance during a little tour on my motor bike.
