Comment by Kate Amon on May 18, 2011 at 10:05pm: Yep, I'm "mid-40" also. Looking to train safely along with my 13 year old son who has some good leaping power. Both of us have forward rolls down from martial arts. I'm not too old to roll, ha ha.

Comment by Fadil Mesic on March 24, 2011 at 7:35am: Ha, ha, ha... well, I would be delighted - and thankful - knowing I am not only mid-40 "crazy" :-) (as my wife puts it).

Well, I told her: pick one of two: rock climbing or parkour? She thinks parkour is still safer ;-)

Joke aside, it is great to see there are others interested in PK who share view that the age should not be a problem to have fun and enjoy being outdoors and improving our skills, body, and mind.

Instead, a counter-question could be: what would you ask/do if you would meet a subject in the space/time condition you are looking for?

Comment by Fadil Mesic on March 23, 2011 at 1:17pm: Anybody else here in mid-40s practicing?

Comment by Anurag Mendhekar on October 25, 2009 at 10:12pm: Safe N Sure, ... I'm up there with you! I'm looking forward to some fun PK. Trying to recruit some friends to sign up as well.

Comment by Bay Area Parkour on October 25, 2009 at 10:22am: Another renaming could be "Too old to rock and roll?!?"

Comment by SafeNSure on October 25, 2009 at 9:16am: Hahaha!
I would almost want to make a sub-group "Too Old to Roll", since, as Mick Jagger, Bruce Willis and Ted Kennedy proved, one is never too old to 'rock'...
;)

I guess you'll be surprise of how many 'mature' practitioners you will encounter, if you allow yourself to dare.
This, provided everyone will 'come' out online as we do...
