Parkour growing by leaps and bounds

 Today we have a positive article interviewing two Colorado Springs traceur and describing how the discipline has been growing lately! It's a good read because it stresses safety and respect for property (no trespassing!!)

Our very own Ozzi and co. appear in the Honolulu Magazine in the June 2008 edition! Nice photo, and a good, precise blurb about freerunning with quotes from Ozzi.

Parkour- l’art du displacement

 An article published in 'The Times', The Times is South Africa's newest daily newspaper, going to 130 000 Sunday Times subscribers every weekday. The Times is this country's first interactive national daily producing video, podcasts and vodcasts for www.thetimes.co.za in addition to the daily paper. Overall a great slideshow-article describing parkour, with some great photos to go along with it! It's nice to see Parkour grow in South Africa :)

A nice article describing different fun oudoor sports. It includes parkour "If any activity embraces the urban landscape to the full, it is free running, or Parkour. Buildings, fences, walls and lamp-posts become obstacles and facilitators of movement, as you scramble, climb, leap and vault over them, moving through the city with a fluidity of motion akin to dance." I liked it :)

 This was a short, well written article describing someone's first experience with Parkour. She took classes with Parkour Generations in London, England and found it to be a very positive experience! Take a look at the article yourself

 Seems that the local city has taken steps to ban parkour in a small town centre. They've put up railings to stop the traceurs (...um?) and plan on waxing lamp posts. The traceur's attitude seemed like he just wanted to do his parkour and get out of there - I think the approach should have been more of a "lets talk to these guys about parkour and if they dont want us to, we'll leave it alone!"

 This article reviews a stunt put on by Nissan automotive company in London where a group of freerunners dressed in suits got out of a bus and performed in live traffic.... "These stunts were carried out by professionals, and at no point were the public in danger. We had health and safety staff in attendance." I certainly hope they were =P

New hottie

Interesting perspective from a young actor who says it is the most exciting scene in the movie and he wouldn't want to do it again. ... it's called "Urban Free Running" ... hmmm :) 

Parkour vs coasteering

Funny, if they knew what parkour was I think they'd have to say "Parkour vs. Parkour".
