When looking at the vids & pics, and reading the other convos. it seems like alot of training and stuff happens during the day. I was wondering if anyone does any training after the sun goes down? I know it has its own set of hazards that you have to be cautious about but it seems that you run into less people, cars and especially police at night.

Like you said, it has its hazards. Being able to see where you are going and the exact surfaces you are landing on are very good tools. If it is an area that you know like the back of your hand, then go for it, but i find it a bit more pleasent to train in the day  But i have trained at night before, and sometimes its a nice peaceful environment to do some groundwork and fundamentals. |

Well I absolutely love doing anything at night, I think that I'm kinda nocturnal.  For the most part I've only done pk around my house at night, but I would love to have a night jam somewhere sometime.   Ya know I mine as well since I'm up to at least 12 every night. |

I haven't trained at night yet, looking forward to doing it soon though. Waiting for some descent weather untill I am well used to training both and night and in the rain I don't want to try them together. I think philosophical a dedicated experienced traceur should train at night just as they should train in the rain and snow.

you see videos and pics during the day because vids and pics at night usually look like crap. anyway, i train a lot at night, especially while im at college. i find there are a lot less distractions at night, which is good, because your focus needs to even sharper than during the day.

Same Here Demon. I train at night when some times the SECURITY is sleeping in their cars parked in some corner. So that is why I can get some good training around campus.

Here in Charlotte, NC, we run almost exclusively at night. It's the exception when we get out during daylight hours, unless it's just still light in the early evening. We've even nicknamed our group Yoru Kuru, for "Night Runners". Just seems to fit with our practices. I prefer to run when there's still some sunlight left. In some of the not-as-well-lit areas of our regular stomping ground, rails and such become shadowless and appear 2-D which can really throw you off. The shadows and less-populated nature of the night, though, makes for less-interrupted jamming and also for better stealth at times. |

When I first first started parkour I would really only go out late at night. Mostly due to the fact that there's practically noone out to see me fumble around as a noob. So now I can claim I just started out pretty good! Well... except for that 8 minute video done entirely in nightshot... damn.
Also, if I'm training at night, it makes me concentrate a whole lot more on being silent which always makes for a fun little game against myself.

ohfomehxr, definitely, it's so wierd when your deapth perception goes haywire. It's not so bad when you are at walking pace, but anything over a jog has you doubting even a 3 foot rail. You just don't know when your hands will hit it, and how far you are away from it when you begin to dive into a vault, which really throws off your landings.
Needless to say, this means that precisions are pretty much out of the question... but it's much harder than daytime training, very different. Be extra careful anyone who is about to go out and try it. You actually need to be paranoid in this case to be safe and bruise-less
