Ever feel like someone is talking about you? That gave me goose bumps.
YAY FOR EXPOSURE!

That was very good, except for the "parkour means obstacle course" bit. That's not exactly true, nonetheless, it was very good.

good article. reminded me, partly of this article: http://www.parkour.co.za/articles/assets/docs/PM.pdf which i happened to read right before this one

Now thats reporting! Good work, to the guys over at Pkcali.

that was an excellent report and I am so very very glad that Parkour is coming up more and more in the news. The reporters seemed very positive and seemed to understand what they were trying to get across. I like how they said parkour is about saving others and yourself. + 1

Great Piece!

They called the one woman, Keri, a 'Traceur,' but hey, we're the only people who might care.

Video decided not to play for me. I just read the transcript. It was good. Good job, PK Cali!
I thought "parkour" comes from "parcours du combattant" = "course of the combatant" = military obstacle course?

Adam McC · « **Reply #12 on:** May 16, 2008, 02:23:03 PM »

Parcour means course, hence that phrase. Parkour is a slight variation, meaning path or course.

that was realy good, but they called the traceuses traceurs.

Nice to see fair coverage!

Marshall Cent Lewis · « **Reply #15 on:** June 06, 2008, 01:23:25 AM »

Amazing coverage! Wish more reporters could understand as well as those did. Great job PK Cali!

Very cool article, I can't say I've seen any other major media coverage support parkour instead of condemn it for what kids do to themselves when they make mistakes, mess up, or try to imitate what they've seen/read without proper training and practice.

Im proud to say im a part of PKCALI lol

That is really, really cool. I'm new to this, and I'm really glad when people ask me what the heck I'm doing, I can at least link to something that was on the news.

the only thing I don't like about these news pieces is that they make parkour sound like something that is very noble and other worldly. I wish people would just admit that they like to move. That's the only problem with the whole "philosophical" side of parkour.
