look at this shit, I was browsing apk, and I came across a member by the name of "parkouratl" and I thought I should pm him about our weekly sessions because he is new. Then I saw this little jem in his profile. http://www.parkouratlanta.com/ He is obviously new and has no knowledge what so ever about parkour. Plus he stole the traceur logo (speed air man) ( which is copyrighted) I have no association with this site, so please do not blame me for this. I have no idea who this person even is. I will email him and ask him to take it down. I apologize in behalf of atlanta, and the veiws on this site do not represent the veiws of the real atlanta scene. parkouratl: If you read this please take your site down, it is criminal. We have weekly sessions at centenial park, please come by and learn what parkour really is. We are also planning on making a legit site in the future. Also don't pretend to be a experienced traceur, you clearly are not. I don't even claim to be experienced, thats why Im putting off the site for a few years. |

That is royally fucked up to the point of being confusing.
I am a web developer for a living and I don't understand how somene could figure out how to do that and be so uncreative at the same time.

Umm. I do believe that APK uses Joomla. So it's not really copyrighted. If i'm wrong i'm sorry. That's just what i thought. As for the logo he could be in trouble there. Also that sight was total shit. Someone needs to tell him the truth ASAP.

BNP Thanks for the heads up.
As for the site being based on Joomla, Joomla is free opensource software, so nice move ATL Parkour!
Now, about the disclaimer being copied word for word from APK ... Jesse if you did email me, this thread would be a great place to remind me, otherwise it does appear you just copied our materials at least to that extent.
As for other's making website which copy or use materials from APK, we're all for it. We're here to help spread awareness in Parkour and freerunning, so if you are setting up a site, let us know how we can help!! (and don't just copy our stuff, be more creative, make something better than APK!!)
Looking a bit deeper into ATL Parkour, some of their "quick Tips" need to get their facts (and spelling) straight.
One thing I will advise with a website is ONLY put what you know to be factual, or scientifically supportable. If you put materials beyond that, people will think you're just putting up whatever.

M2 is Right, Joomla is a free "templet" that anyone can use. Its actually really good software. Although, the whole...copyright stuff is crap. Sick em'.

He also advertises for the gigaride, which is a terrible shoe.
But what pisses me off is that he went and made a site without even meeting the atlanta parkour scene, a few of us have been around for a year now and this guy seems to have about a week's experience. He could have atleast asked us for our imput.
+ he stole speed air man,

Whats bugging me out about this whole thing is a guy who is trying to set up a website for the Atlanta scene, which in and of itself isnt necessarily a bad thing. The problem lies in the fact that this guy doesn't know the atlanta scene, we train consistently every weekend and while lately we've been getting a few new faces I know his face was not one of them. Even if he was an experianced traceur, it doesn't matter, you can't have a local community website if you don't even know the local community.
