Hiya, SnowballNinja here obviously!
I've always like to run and jump around but only recently found out about parkour/freerunning as a sport.
I live in Richland, WA.

[LilG]

Hey, It's me, LilG AKA Gabriel (male!). I live in Iowa City and am just over 15. I've known about parkour since I was around 12 but have never gotten around to getting training to get me started.

I joined the forums a long time ago but have now found the time to start and pursue my dream of learning how to do parkour. I can do basic things, but I can't grasp the harder things and joined this forum for some help on how to start out.

Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm Bryton Kelley, and I turned 14 (considering on what time it is right now where I'm at in the world- 12:27 am) 9 days ago. I'm TOTALLY sure that everyone here has heard of "Mirror's Edge" an awesome game by DICE. That game particularly introduced me to Free-Running / Parkour. It's facisinated me so much, that i've decided to take up Free-Running (as of about 3 hours ago, while it was still yesterday, lol.) I did a CRAP LOAD of searching and found this site. I checked out some of the stuff, IMMEDIATELY signed up, and I've already (kinda) mastered my basic roll. As of now, I'm gonna train some more on my roll WHILE learning my advanced / dropping-falling roll, or jump roll.

Sup guys
Anybody north of minneapolis? Holy crap its hard to do parkour in the rural areas. There is just not many walls to do stuff on. I've been using my gas tank to vault over, i've been terrified im gonna knock the top off and kill myself, but hey im still here.I've been trying this parkour stuff and i think im pretty good at it for being a newbie. this makes me happy

[Suimen]

What is up, peoples?  I'm Dustin (last name here), a sailor stationed in Monterey, CA.  I was born up in Berkeley - from there I splattered all over the country before crashing in Tallahassee, where I watched most of my life go by, joined the Navy, and they sentenced me to rot here for a couple years in training.  I come to Parkour from a distance running background, with a bit of experience with skateboarding and snowboarding, which doesn't help at all.  As much as I don't want to admit I'm a straight double-zero n00b, I've been at this for serious all of about 4 days.  That's not counting the one time when I was about 7 I jumped over a rail and sprained my wrist when I landed.

[Aegir]

Hey, Geary from Iowa State in Ames. Joined cause there seems to be a good crowd here. Mostly new to the whole thing, but I have some background in martial arts and am not having too much trouble keeping up with training. Hope to meet some new people.

[latebloomer]

hey. my name's rachelle and i live in las cruces, new mexico. i got into parkour a few months ago, but apparently i've been using aspects of it all my life. i've always been a climber. i'm a huge fan of stealing training from martial arts for parkour, and vice versa. i'm hoping that by getting more into parkour i can use it (among other things) to help me develop my own martial art style. i'm very fascinated by the way the human body works, and how to use it better. i have a tendency to learn things on my own rather than be taught, but when i run with my friends it seems like we all challenge each other, and as a result, push ourselves harder.

[freeflow246]

Hey! I'm Elise, and I just started practicing parkour. I don't live in much of an urban area, so I do most of my training in the woods nearby. I am the only person who practices in my area, let alone the only girl. It's difficult with no guidance from a more experienced traceur/traceuse, but I hope I'll feel more accomplished in the long run.

[G.i.R.]

Hello friends. I am Kirk. Just call me G.i.R.

I live in Minnesota and have started parkour with my friend a few months ago.

I'm a big gamer as well, mainly Nintendo and Square-Enix though
