Any free runners in Redding California, if so I practice alot at boulder creek elementary school off churn creek
and I practice sometimes at enterprise high school.
If any traceurs wanna come by and practice then feel free to do so.
I usually practice between 12:00am - 3:00pm.

[Y4ZT]

[rake]

I go to enterprise high school and i'm 16.My name is Drake thurston.

[Y4ZT]

oh cool i go to foothill im 17 names dillon parker. i am training 4 or so of my friends jason, luke, brandon, and forest.  so how long have u been free running and what are your capabilities?

[rake]

well I have been practicing front flips and back flips  and I can kong vault, I can speed vault, I can  do a lazy vault, I can do a fence vault, I'm still working on the wall spin.
I have been doing it for a month already and I am self taught so I learned it all myself. If you know of any classes in redding or shasta county please let me know and I will do the same.

How about you? How long have you been doing it and what can you do?
Maybe we can set up a practice somewhere.

[Y4ZT]

flips are my problem. i can do all the vaults and ocationaly the double vaults, i can wall spin, and car spin, i have dont a wall flip off a tree but i need to work on it. i also am completely self taught and i have trained alone and kinda quite up untill recently when my friend wanted to do it so i got back into it.  after this weekend i should be able to do flips cuz we are going to galaxy gymnasum  which is by burito bandito,  but we can only go to that if they have an open gym.

you can check my myspace @ Myspace.com/Y4ZT that pic is from the end of last school year

I need to go to a gym too because I need to practice more on my flips, right now i'm just laying out some mattresses and practicing on those, I can land a front flip but I land it just barely.
But we should put up some ads around redding to see if there are any other traceurs.

Hey,
I am interested in getting started in parkour, wouldn't mind learning some freerunning stuff either- makes for an interesting game of tag, you know    Oh, yeah, i'm in Anderson.... so not too much of a distance prob for me, although I do work about every day.  Name's Josh by the way, i'm 19.

[rake]

cool I'm 16 but I learned everything on my own but maybe we get a meet place or something and we can practice.

[Y4ZT]

i just went to nor cal gymnastics and learned to do backflips off the ground

[Sutty99]

You guys should come check out CrossFit Redding!  We opened a couple months ago and certainly would welcome some Traceurs.  We dabble a little bit ourselves but are interested in encouraging the training that goes hand in hand with Parkour.  We are located at 4871 Eastside Rd here in Redding.  Our website is www.crossfitredding.com
