American Parkour

idea: have a combo modern art PK-park (visually pleasing for those who do not trace and fun for those who do)

definatlly a good idea, it would be a place were local artist advertise there talent, therefore id could be an ongoing project!

OK, but is there a fast way to do it?

not really, just get people to help you and bust your ass to get it done, in ur presentation though, play up the wat i said above about the art, while not devalueing the parkour aspects.

also, see if you can get a 3D/Design students from a local collage to disign some interesting obsticles. This will make the park visually pleasing, gets more members of the community involved( you'll score points for both), as well as make things more interesting to us traceurs. Also, offer to teach classes and try to mind a local building companies to donate work.

what your going to find is that traceurs where alot of new balance because its affordable and not all of us are money tight, but we enjoy what we do

that makes me feel beter. lol.

Is it just me, or are we starting to take the direction of skaters/Mirrors Edge runners?

Rebel? Only as a last resort. But let's try our hardest to be civil about this.

yes, exactly. skateing fell(in the eyes of the Gov't) through rebellion, Parkour shall rise through enlightenment. Thats y we must continue project such as Leave No Trace.
(sorry everyone didnt mean to start that)

How can no one see them making a show about parkour for goodness sake they have a show called I survied a japanese game show and yall think its not a far jump to parkour

tru, but ud have to get a serious practitioner to be able to make a show, and i dont think there r too many whod get involved in some thing that was detrimental to the  art/sport/culture/disipline

but i too have been worried about: ppl being dum→getting hurt→getting Parkour band. iv only seen 1 sign that said "No Parkour."  it was only a photo, but it was the scarist thing iv seen in my entire life

Haha, of course NWI would be repped, but what about the rest of us? @.@

well, someone has got to take the first step

 I feel that parkour
is really still so small, unheard of, underground, etc. that really no company, be it major or minor will want to help us out.
Unless someone has a family business 

well, fer 1, i was thinkin more along the lines of local government than a bussiness. 2. yes it is but thats y it would be such a great oppertunity not only for promoting the jam or INPK, but the intire disipline as a whole and there communities.

a good saying to throw on a shirt  "different people have different ways of expressing there individuality, this is mine"  or some thing to that effect

also, id love to get one of ur shirts AE, how can i order one
