Parkour in Charlotte,NC
« on: April 07, 2012, 06:53:28 PM »
Hey im in a group with me and some friends and we started parkour a few years ago and now we wanna get serious. We have found spots to do basic stuff but we wanna move further. We have the option of uptown but we dont want to get into trouble with law or anything. I really need to know if where a lot of great parkour spots are in Charlotte, North Carolina that will allows us to do it without getting into trouble.

Unc Charlotte has a Parkour club and they often come up to train with the state guys and they always attend jams, did you guys make the one on facebook, we also have a state site if you didn't know. Ncparkour.com look me up on Facebook and I'll hook you up, Sean Endres, I'm doing a precision in my profile picture.
The only other pictures i could find of Cocaine Badger on google images were hosted on this wierd site about furries and smoking weed, so...


That video was like if Jesus walked into my room, hugged me, baked me a cake, and then left in Ron Weasley's flying car.

I just want to say something regarding the law.

Its really not often a problem. If you make sure that you're not running and jumping in front of peoples faces, making a lot of noise, or being present at private properties, damaging anything in the environment, or generally being arrogant to policemen or anyone else, this problem will most likely not occur, or at least you wont be responsible for it.

Its a fact that some people can behave like an ass to you even if you do nothing of all this. But don't bother. Never be upset or show any kind of irretation or anything like that. Just be humble and polite to people. Its the people who scream at you for no reason that embarrass themself in the end of the day. So if there is problem with the police for no reason confront that problem at the spot and talk to them. Because if they see that you care (and respect them and others) its a lot more likely that they will listen to you.  ;)

I've spoken to the police various times and its never been a problem. Some people in the public have screamed and yelled at me but they all failed to make me upset. As a matter of fact, one lady became more angry at me when I was polite. Then she left the area without saying a word lol.

Hey Travis, I'm one of the guys from "Charlotte Parkour."  We've been working to make sure people who want to try parkour in Charlotte have the opportunity to learn safely and effectively.  We teach a class on Monday's and there's almost always someone out at our regular meetup times on Monday or Thursday nights that's willing to help other people out.  Feel free to hit us up on our facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/162385730470478/
