Parkour Across America Volume 2
« on: November 10, 2009, 02:08:13 PM »
Hey guys some of you might have seen my earlier video of me training across this country over the summer. Well, I just finished editing the second part which is mainly filmed in the New England area and where I am on Long Island. I've been focusing a lot lately on longer, more sustained runs as well as flow and creativity between movements. I hope that this video reflects that goal a little! :) Anyways, check it out and please feel free to comment, critique, or whatever :)

Do You live in Connecticut? I'm always looking for other CT traceurs. Anyway the video was great I saw it earlier today. There definitely was some nice flow.

There are quite a few good spots in Downtown Mystic and some other areas. I'm glad to hear that there are other Traceurs in CT. We should start to establish a much stronger community.

Max, I commented on youtube already, but I love the vid so much I'll comment here too lol.  You've got amazingly strong but smooth movement, and your progression over that last two years has been amazing.

Hope I get to train with you again sometime soon man, it's always a pleasure. Keep it up!

Dude, your improvement from your last video was amazing. I liked the precision frontflip on the playscape web.

This was great. I really liked the runs you had in the woods, it just seemed so...natural.

By the way, what song was used?

Thanks, 3:57 was actually pretty scary, my foot slipped off the wall completely and it just so happened that I was filming it lol.
