[kohlmeir69]

Anyways my name is Cory. I am 15 years old (16 in august), I live in Waxhaw (Oh yes farm land...lots of it...) but I'm right next to Mecklenburg County. I started "parkour" about 3 months ago. I use the quotations because I have osgood schlatter so I can't do a whole lot and am told not to jump or run. Opps I don't listen... . Although I'm not very good at it I love it.

Hey Cory, I use to have that around the same age as you. I played soccer competitively so I know how you feel.
 If you do not already have one I would recommend getting a knee brace specifically for your osgood schlatter. It helped me tremendously. and make sure you ice it regularly... obviously

[Intheltif]

My name is Evert. I live in Waynesville, which is about 20 minutes from Asheville. I'm 14 (will be 15 in October). I started freerunning in the summer of '09 so it's been over a year I've been at it. I love free running...It's my passion. When I get my license I will be able to go to some other hotspots around here and that will be fun because I have almost burnt out all of the places to free run in Waynesville.

Hey Andrew, how are you? There's a good Raleigh group that trains every weekend on NCSU campus if you're ever free to join them. You should check NCParkour for more information!

[ChiefKacho]

Hi all. Im Jordan, im 17 years old, and live in Greensboro. I'm completely new at parkour, but wanted to try it for a while now. When iSay im new, im TOTALLY new to this, and was hoping if there was anyone near me who can help me transition into it, exercises, places I could actually do this, good shoes, whatever advice and help anyone would mind giving would be GREATLY appreciated.

If you wouldn't mind helping me with any of this, e-mail me at jrdncourts@yahoo.com. I cant wait to hear from someone who would help me get started.

[saraTPK]

now im at cherry point till february when they'll move me to camp lejune.
a started last october but i havent trained since may lol.

do y'all have many jams around here?

[Bao]

Sara, we have about three to four state jams throughout the year but there are guys that regularly train in Charlotte, Chapel Hill, Winston-Salem, Raleigh, and Greenville. Unfortunately, the closest guys are about a 90min drive away from Camp Lejune or Cherry Hill. If you're ever interested in coming up to Raleigh, be sure to let me know! Also, check out NCParkour.com
