American Parkour

URL links to NBC page with transcript and video. This piece aired in 5 counties in California and will be sent to other NBC affiliates and is easily the best piece broadcast news piece I've ever seen  :D!!

That was very very good.

Ever feel like someone is talking about you? That gave me goose bumps.
YAY FOR EXPOSURE!

That was very good, except for the "parkour means obstacle course" bit. That's not exactly true, nonetheless, it was very good. :)

good article. reminded me, partly of this article: http://www.parkour.co.za/articles/assets/docs/PM.pdf which i happened to read right before this one

Now thats reporting! Good work, to the guys over at Pkcali. ;D

that was an excellent report and I am so very very glad that Parkour is coming up more and more in the news. The reporters seemed very positive and seemed to understand what they were trying to get across. I like how they said parkour is about saving others and yourself. + 1

wow, i was very happy with that news report.

Great Piece!

They called the one woman, Keri, a 'Traceur,' but hey, we're the only people who might care. ;)

that was a great news report. that speed vault to cat grab was awesome too.  ;D

YaY!!!  ;D

Video decided not to play for me. I just read the transcript. It was good. Good job, PK Cali!
I thought "parkour" comes from "parcours du combattant" = "course of the combatant" = military obstacle course?

Parcour means course, hence that phrase. Parkour is a slight variation, meaning path or course.

that was realy good, but they called the traceuses traceurs.

Nice to see fair coverage!

Amazing coverage!  Wish more reporters could understand as well as those did.  Great job PK Cali!

Very cool article, I can't say I've seen any other major media coverage support parkour instead of condemn it for what kids do to themselves when they make mistakes, mess up, or try to imitate what they've seen/read without proper training and practice.

Im proud to say im a part of PKCALI lol

That is really, really cool. I'm new to this, and I'm really glad when people ask me what the heck I'm doing, I can at least link to something that was on the news. :P

the only thing I don't like about these news pieces is that they make parkour sound like something that is very noble and other worldly. I wish people would just admit that they like to move. That's the only problem with the whole "philosophical" side of parkour.

I think it was AWESOME that the reporter decided to climb the wall, it showed everyone at home that everybody can do it, great for exposure, and it was definitely the best report I've ever seen.
+1 to the reporter for trying it out and doing such a good job at reporting it.

I love it how the reporter was like, "my obstacle was this 7 and a half foot wall" he must be 7 and a half feet seeing as how that wall was about head high for him.  ;D
