Urbana Champaign ^_^
« on: August 11, 2009, 01:50:29 PM »
Hello, I'm from the Chambana area and I am currently in a crew of 3. We are still rather new to parkour and where wondering if there are other traceurs in the area. We could help each other develop parkour vision and watch each others backs to make sure we are all safe =D. Anyway, I just thought I would throw that out there. ... And for me particularly, I am wondering if there are any girls in the area practicing parkour. I would love to practice with other girls. Don't get me wrong, the boys are great, I just think it would be nice to meet other girls ^^.

Hey, Zullala, I'd recommend that you go check out this thread over a Aero Parkour: http://chicagoparkour.net/forum/index.php?topic=1909.0

Some of us are planning on going down to Champaign to catch the Matt and Kim/Yea Big and Kid Static concert on September 13th at Parkland College.  Details haven't been set in stone yet, but there's a really good chance that we're going to be there.  We were planning on training before the concert.  It would be awesome to meet up with your crew.

"Chambana" = Champaign-Urbana. ;)

I graduated from the U of I, but my little sister still goes to school down there, so I'm there from time to time. :) I'll try to send you a heads-up if I'm planning on being down there long enough to jam!
Just take the next step.A day without a challenge is a wasted day.

I just moved into the area, so I'm also looking for a couple people around the campus to train with. Unfortunately, I'm a guy :P.

If anybody's still in this thread, I'm also in Chambana area (Danville), and am just starting out.  Any help and/or training jams would be appreciated.  :)

An RSO for Parkour has been approved at U of I. They will start holding meets next semester.

I'm about to try parkour myself since I have a friend already experienced in it on campus.
