Sam Ser wrote a great article including an interview with Sebastien Foucan. My favorite quotes from the article come from the interviewed Traceur "Denis" - "On the contrary," he says with a grin, popping up, unscathed, after landing with a roll that diverts the force of impact, "I'm far more careful than the average person." - Another great quote "In our world right now, there is very little discretionary time for children, and there is way too much programmed activity as opposed to the freedom to do what they want. Boys find this freedom by just going out in their teens and trying to break out from a very boring set of environments and opportunities," explains Roger Hart, of the Children's Environments Research Group at the City University of New York. Sam contacted American Parkour, unfortunately we weren't able to make the connection to participate in the article. Check out the complete article here .

That is an excellent article! One of the best, most accurate, positive media representations I've ever read!
