APK International Gear Giveaway!

APK International Gear Give-Away - Did you know that APK ships to over 140 countries around the world? We're going to show some love to one lucky Parkour community outside the US.

All you need to do is post your name, city, and country below. Posting a pic or vid of your community to our wall might help your chances ;) We'll pick a winner on Friday at 11:59PM EST, and announce the winner On Monday March 5th.

The bundle includes over $350 worth of APK gear, and for every 100 entries we get, we'll add an additional piece of gear, up to 10 additional shirts, sweats, etc. That could be over $700 worth of gear!

All we ask is that when they get the gear, the winner needs to send us a photo showing that they shared the gear with at least 5 people. The more of your friends that enter their names, the better your chance of us sending you the gear!

Please do not apply if you are in the US, we'll get to you all next :)

Starting Parkour at Age 51



Tim Bergling (the Badass, not the DJ) is not your average soon-to-be 52 year old. Tim is a Marine (there is no such thing as "was a Marine" and stays in incredible shape. Yesterday he tried his hand at Parkour in a Primal Fitness Saturday Open session. The open sessions usually consist of a good warm-up, some joint rotations / mobility, practice of one particular skill or concept, and then an obstacle course. Tim wrote a note about his experience and I wanted to share it for a few reasons: 1. You're never too old to start parkour. 2. Everyone starts somewhere, and as a community we support and applaud not based on distance and measurements but rather on the heroic acts of bravery of very ordinary people. I'll add that we currently have a 63 year old man in the beginner class at American Parkour Academy in DC and he is among the most adept in his class! We'll continue to follow Tim through his parkour journey, and do an interview to find out why he has the name "Korey Sarvas" tattooed on his chest.  Read more for Tim's full note.
