American Parkour

New website?!  That will be awesome!  What kind of changes will there be?  Or will I just have to wait for it?

I wasn't able to make it last week because I had to do something with my dad.  I'll be there for sure this week.

Sure.  The ones I bought recently are not as good as my last pair.  I don't remember what type they were, but they were just easier to move in.  I'll bring them as well if you want.

Colorado Springs traceurs usually meet at Tiffany Square on thursday nights.  I won't be in town that week, but I'm sure there will be a few people here that can train with you.

I thought it might be wise for us all to compile our knowledge of what we view as proper parkour conditioning.  I'm sure there are many traceur's, new and experienced, that would like to find new and improved ways to condition themselves.  So what are the best ways to improve our Endurance training, our Flexibility, or anything else that can keep our bodies keen?

I thought of this today as I have been working for a while trying to think up good stretches so that I can become more flexible and increase my overall dexterity.  I thought, if Parkour is the art of Movement, as a traceur, I should be able to move my body in whatever way I need.

Dang.  I did not make it.  So far I have only done training there alone 

I will be heading over there today to do some training with my brother.  He is not really a traceur, but he likes to watch and try things.

By the way, I found an awesome spot downtown that looked to have some potential.  It is outside the Pikes Peak Center.  I went there for a concert and saw it, so I will be heading down there this wednessday.

Oh, about shoes.  I have been very impressed with Saucony Brand.  They are running type shoes I guess, but they are flexible, form well to your feet, and have amazing grip.  I just bought a pair of their Grid Cohesion style and still need to break them in, but they might do nicely.  I like to have shoes that are light, flexible, breathable, have good grip, and protect your feet.

I went there last night by myself just to check it out.  I had never been there before.  The place is pretty awesome though.

Thursdays at 7pm would work for me.  Not this week because that is Thanksgiving day.  I will be up there with a couple of friends on wednessday at around 6:30 though.  If anyone wants to join me, feel free.


Oh, I also know of another couple areas that are pretty nice.  One is a place that me and my friends call "Dream", and that is kind of up in the briargate area.  I'll get pictures and directions soon.  The other is Frontier Elementary School which is in the same area.  I'll get pictures and directions for that too.

Hey.  This is what I have been looking for.  Do you still meet?  If so, where, when, and any other information.

If you don't have times set yet, I work weekdays from 7-3:30.  Tuesdays, and Sundays are bad for me.

Any chance of meeting this week?

As for a GOG meet up, that would be sweet.  Week day morning are bad for me though.  Saturday mornings would be better for me.

Hey, I have been practicing parkour for a few years now but have not made an effort to try and reach out to the parkour community here in Colorado Springs.

I see a lot of activity and jams happening up in Denver and in Boulder, and that is awesome . . . though it would be a little more awesome if I lived up there.  So, anyone know of any events or anything going on here in the Springs?  If not, we should plan some.  I'm sure we can all pull our knowledge together of some hot spots.  I know of a few.
