I really don't know much about PA but I went to google and started snooping...  What about Avalon Country Club? I saw some pictures of it and it looks pretty full of obstacles... I don't know how willing they'd be to let you practice Parkour there but yea... I don't know how strict they are

also, the Royal Motel... it looks neat... like it has some decks and stuff to Cat Leap on

I don't have a clue where any of this is but I'm just checking out the place to see what all they have as spots go...

Of course, if someone comes in that is from there or that area... listen to them and ignore me lol

But yea... anywhere can be useful... Just gotta have that open mind and see things in a different way

If you have an environment, then you can train ways to move through it. Be creative, and don't try to mimic the "moves" you see on videos. Hope I helped to some extent:)

usually shopping malls or any industrial area (ie not houses) are good places to start, make sure to check out local parks, and be creative even trees and woodland areas can hold many opportunity's. kyle had some good suggestions but good luck with getting a country club to cooperate with you if your not a member that donates copious amounts of money to them.

Well Cody, great name by the way, just look around any rail or wall or tree or well anything really can be turned into a training place, try to look for a cluster of rails and stuff grouped together and then just go with the flow.

just figure this out this morning
if you have train tracks near you they are good to practice precisions on

Hey you're right. Nice idea. Not very far gap though.

Sounds dangerous, precisions on rail road tracks, maybe you could cat some passing train cars too! JK of course.

Please make sure the train tracks arent actually in use. Kids have died from walking on train tracks while listening to music too loud.

1. yes they are abandoned now (they used to go to the lumber yard behind my house but now they get all their shipments by truck)
2. i really think you have to be really stupid to not notice a train
3. i have a portable stereo i listen to when im training

ps: now im really tempted to try to cat a train car :-Sarcasm
but that would be awesome
