We tried to set up classes there, but they made us use THEIR instructor as a teacher. Nevermind he's a hundred years old and has never DONE parkour. They really dont like you using their equipment without them telling you how. I dont want to go back. Check out LaFluers and see if they have an open gym.

FINE! WHEN AND WHERE!?

ALSO! LaFleur's has an open gym on Friday from 6:30pm To 8:30pm, so I guess I'll be going there.

Sorry to jump into your thread but this is about the only Clearwater thread I have seen. I am possibly moving the family there within a year and wanted to get an idea of how much Parkour was going on in clearwater? My son is a regular to the site and has been training for close to 2 years and I didn't want to move there and have him miss what he loves so much. Anyway just wanted to get a feel for the Clearwater scene and I do join him when I can at my old age and so does my 9 year old.
Thanks for letting me cut in.

hopefully in a year we'll have a much bigger scene. Im probably the most developed of everyone here but... i'm lazy. so its hard. but the main scene in the area is in tampa, just about 45 minutes across the bay. hopefully by then we'll have the gym open in the university area of tampa, and some afterschool programs started down here.
