FuckYeahParkour

This is a place for all those Traceurs, Traceuses and Freerunners out there who are devoted to Parkour. Tumblr needed someone to spice it up so I decided to step up and show everyone what Parkour is about. While I once was against the freerunning movement, I now support the freedom of expression through movement. Both are about discipline, speed, control, and freedom. Feel free to submit you own photos to me I'll be sure to put them up. Everyone have fun and stay safe out there and remember ~ Parkour isn't just an exercise, Its a way of life~

This video promotes the benifits and joy of training with a focus on movement and movement skills as apposed to a more mainstream approach to fitness training.  It was a fun weekend project filmed in Hamburg.

When did you start parkour and how?

Always kind of wanted to tell this so,

Back in middle school I hung out at the skate park a lot and one of my buddies there told me about it. Well being I love rock climbing/climbing in general it sounded fun.

So I looked it up and found some basic vaults. I pretty much just vaulted over things until I got a job at 16. That was when I started feeling comfortable enough to look for more advance things to do.

So I looked for some groups and found the CaPk group that meets at Balboa Park in San Diego. They helped me a lot with technique, form, and the general frame of mind involved in Parkour.

This was about the time when Free-Running started to get some attention so there was a lot of new people looking to free run. This group made a decision to be inclusive to these people but at the same time stand against competition. It made for a good atmosphere where everyone had each other’s back and were offering tips to each other, helping everyone get better.

A good group like that is really helpful for advancing and just makes Parkour more fun. We would play capture the flag, do a follow the leader-esque flow runs, and spot people if they were attempting something they weren’t 100% confident they were going pull it off. 

I consider joining that group as the point when I officially started doing Parkour but like all things I spent time dipping my feet in it for years before jumping in.

At the weekly meet-ups I would just work on weak points, like try walking a rail all the way across to get better balance. I got a little better every week and once I had something done there was always something new to try. 

So by slowly working up to things I got to the point where I am at now. I used to do flips but I have stopped in recent years, partly because I am out of practice and partly because I had a pretty severe fall while doing a flip a bit back and I never really felt comfortable flipping over cement after that.

And that is a pretty good summery of my experience with getting involved in Parkour.

Parkour Filmed By traceurs in Boston massachusets

(Side note- I absolutely love the filming of this! Most videos I see either have a stationary shot or a shaky following shot. Very few follow flows with such quality. I definitely will be checking out more Wall Side Media Videos)

Just so everyone is clear.

The next full moon is this Thursday, the 25.

Epic Parkour Run - POV (ep.5) | Flow

[fyparkour]

So my group has a tradition that I thought might be of interest to the community.

Every full moon my group meets and does some night time freerunning/ parkour in the light of the moon. It really is a fun and if you are used to training in the hot day, quite refreshing.

So I am telling you all about this because I had an idea that this could be a community wide trend.

So here is what I will love to see; Freerunners/ traceurs/ traceuses go out with their friends/group during the full moon, and take some pictures. 

If you then submit these pictures I will happily post them here.

It is that simple!

So how about it everyone?

Are you up to it?

This week I’m a Sox fan.

I know I am a parkour blog and I have never posted off topic, but I have some very close parkour friends who were running in the marathon, so I felt compelled to say;

To all the traceurs and traceuses in Boston, our thoughts are with you.

Stay safe and keep running.
