6.11.08 - Newbury, England - Running from Cops PDF Print E-mail

http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/News/Article.aspx?articleID=6991

 Horrible example of what you should be donig as a traceur. DO NOT AVOID COPS AND DO NOT TRAIN ON ROOFTOPS! It is dangerous, you can get seriously hurt, and you can cause a lot of damage. Please read this article and learn what you shouldn't do. Cops are looking for your safety so respect them instead of running. And you never have to touch rooftops during your parkour training!!!

 Just a short little blurb about Sheffield hosting a festival where traceurs will be running around all day. The main blurb deals with no alcohol being offered at the park festival. Indeed, parkour + alcohol = bad times, bad times!

 
Terrible Representation of Parkour and Freerunning PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 05 June 2008
A group of teens in the UK have posted videos on YouTube with Parkour in the title - the videos feature them using a graveyard at a church as their playground. This is terribly disrespectful and not in the spirit of Parkour or free running at all. The boys have complained that "when you live in the country there's not much else to do" - I guess they didn't see the Seattle training video, Erwan's video, or any number of woodland training. Regardless - as traceurs and Freerunners we stay off certain properties out of respect - Memorials rank top of the list, especially those memorializing the deceased. If you can't find somewhere better than a graveyard or memorial to practice - don't practice. This is an embarrassment to our discipline. Read more for link to the article. - Updated and will continue to update as more publications pick up ths story and make us all look worse.

Friday, 30 May 2008

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/traineo/exercise/article4032869.ece

 

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 :)
