"Parkour vision," eh? sounds like a superpower.  ;)

I wonder if there are good training spots in the Beloit area?

Jeremy, Beloit is right in the middle of the southern border of Wisconsin. I was thinking it would be halfway between us, but it's more than twice as far away from you as it is from me.  :-[

Kenosha is about 2 hours away from me according to Google Maps... an awful long way to go unless there were a full-blown jam. Sorry...  :'(

wolfman, do you have good training spots?

I Live in Antioch, Illinois. not far from the Border at all, Its basically right around the corner. I'm not quite sure exactly how far away It is to Kenosha, but It can't be too far. I only have my bike though, so I can't go far, but I have rode to Trevor and Wilmont plenty of times though.

Fox Lake?? Man I have a few friends who live there.....  There's more traceurs in my area than I thought..... we should all hang out and have a Jam.... maybe even start our own group and call it Lake County Parkour.... LCPK

For Sure dude..... That'll be sick to get all the local traceur's together and Jam it out. I would get a ride from my dad, or if the Jam is close enough I can just ride my Bike.....

this Idea should become Reality!!
