An open space for traceuses and traceurs training in the San Francisco Bay Area
"Ultimate non-Parkour Challenge"
[mirrored from APK - because we are lazy ;) ]
If you just watched MTV's "Ultimate Parkour Challenge" you may have a few reactions:
"Wow, those guys are amazing!"
"Holy S#it that's cool I gotta try it...
"OK, this is seriously dangerous..."
in any case, there's a few things you need to know:
1. We are not suicidal - the object is NOT to subject yourself to danger. Quite the contrary, we practice safely and progressively.
2. This is a discipline, it takes training, hard work, and dedication to become good, but ANYONE can get started.
3. Parkour (and Freerunning) are fun! This beats the crap out of running on a treadmill or pumping some crazy arm machine.
[new content]
4. and foremost: Traceurs and Traceuses (Parkour practitioners) don't practice to impress anyone, not even themselves...
If (hopefully) you are still interested, please take a look at this beginners introduction kit.

Uh. Before anyone else makes a fuss, it's efficiently, not creatively.
