Fort Wayne Parkour
« on: May 26, 2008, 06:55:42 PM »
I just recently got into Parkour and free running. I have some friends that are interested in getting into it. I was wondering if there are many people in Fort Wayne that do this?

For beginning easy stuff I did stuff on elementary school playground equipment. There isn't a whole lot to do but there is enough that it should be good for a beginner. Arlington Elementary has some decent stuff. At Snider High School they have about 10 foot high walls by their tennis courts that you can practice running up ad pulling yourself over.

Yeah, I've been trying to do as much as i can with the basic elementary playground equipment near where i live. I have about three nearby playgrounds i haven't scoped out yet though, so I'm gonna have to check those out.

Small world. I go to homestead as well, although luckily i never have to go back there again. Thank god for graduation. I've found that the Haverhill playground is good for practice, and Indian Trails park isn't bad.

I don't know him personally, though i know of him. I'll prolly be down at indian trails and/or haverhill twice within the next week. Obviously that'll depend on the weather; if it's ungodly muggy like it will be this weekend then i may just cower in the A/C.

I dunno which would be best either. Oh, and i hate my phone. I got the text you sent me the other day about 14 hours after you sent it. stupid centennial.

Anyway, im gonna be out of town on wednesday and the weekend. So if you wanna run at indian trails or something on thursday gimme a call. Doesn't look like its gonna be too bad of weather either (maybe a bit hot in the afternoon). I'll bring my friend logan as well. He's just as bad as i am though  :-\ .
