Parkour! [5 comments]

I’m sure you’ve all seen Parkour of some form by now. If not, check the internets. They has it.
But I came across this gem today–Parkour from 1930!
I had the privilege of trying Parkour for the first time this weekend as part of Seattle’s CIty Chase, and a lot of the main techniques are very similar to what this guy is doing. Also, I can barely move. Parkour kicked my butt. And when you’re trying it for the first time on cement, railings, and trees, you don’t move too fast. I was terrified of plummeting to my concrete death!
If you live in the Seattle area and want to give Parkour a try in a safer environment, check out the Parkour Visions Gym, or sign up for one of their classes!

I’m so glad you did it! The pain will leave a stronger body behind–and you already have a tougher mind! All the best :)
Always wanted to try Parkour! Stupid knee surgery always ruins my fun.
Also +20 cool points for trying something new.
Hey! it was great to see you all out there. I’m really happy that me and my parkour comrades were able to teach you all something and even more happy that every group was able to finished the course!!! You City Seattle marathoners kicked butt!
Yeah, knees are a pretty important part of Parkour.
And sweet! I’m now up to 20 cool points!
I tried it in downtown Austin once and got chased by a cop. Apparently wearing black and running on a roof looks very suspicious. And yes I eventually got away.
