"Hong Kong" Parkour Video on Time website

 Time Magazine online has featured a Hong Kong parkour video on their website! It's a 3 minute long video where a few traceurs rfom Hong Kong describe parkour and talk about their experiences. Check it out!

Tony Olmos from El Paso, TX has just opened up the El Paso Parkour Academy. This spurred a local newspaper, the El Paso Times, to interview Tony and write an article describing parkour. Tony parallels his firefighting experience with Belle's and focuses in on the goal of speedily accessing someone in an emergency. A few photos are included with the article - check it out:

Parkour fans learn to maneuver, quickly

"A new urban sport will be performed with organ music at Portsmouth Cathedral as part of a nine-day celebration of arts across the city."

 Woooo RyanFord and Mat Marshall strike up a good one with this FAQ-ish article. It talks about the parkour classes that Ryan offers at the Boulder CrossFit Gy, how to sign up, what ot expect, what to wear, etc etc. Nice bit of info if you're looking to see what to expect from a parkour class :)

 A short article quickly overviewing what parkour is and then listing a bunch of pictures from traceurs in Hanoi!! It always makes my day to see traceurs around the world :) Take a look!

Freerunning, Art, and Social Ethics 

 A nice article going in depth to some of Parkour's philosopies. It speaks of how parkour strengthens your mind and your body so that you learn from the wisdom of the body. I enjoyed the article very much since I take a mindful approach to parkour.

 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!
