It's natural to film yourself because you want to see if you're doing it right, how you can improve, and share your experience with others. If you've ever needed some tips on how to pick some good shots, check out this article on how to Film and Edit a Parkour video! It covers the main points from filming locations to which editing effects to avoid :) 'Trace the Path' Trace the Path brings us a beginner who is starting his path through Parkour and was willnig to document every step to share his experiences with others!

Hey everyone, and welcome to month 3 of Trace the Path. It’s getting cold here in Connecticut and I am getting a bit discouraged. I have found a few decent indoor activities that keep me in shape and improving, but when it is 30 degrees out with a wind chill of about 15 degrees it is rough! I will talk about one of those warm indoor activities, but first an update on my training.
