Burning Man Parkour



After years of people telling me I should go, I finally went to Burning Man this year. Now that I'm back, I can safely say that it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.

For those unfamiliar with the event, it's basically a place where human ingenuity and creativity go to flourish in the desert for a week, then fade back into dust until next year. This massive amalgamation of people (almost 50,000 this year) is called Black Rock City. The most amazing art you'… Continue

Santa Cruz beach: Sun, fun, near death experiences

Today I was stuck in Santa Clara with about 7 hours to kill in the middle of the day, so I thought what better place to go than Santa Cruz? Just a hop skip and a kong over Highway 17 and the beach is there for my enjoyment. Beautiful day for it, and what do I come across just east of the Boardwalk but a seawall made of giant concrete obstacles dumped loosely into the ocean, creating an unrivalled playground for flow practice. The obstacles are these giant tetrahedral concrete things, each one pr… Continue

Parkour vs. turkeys

Time: Saturday, May 10, 2008
Place: Goethe Park, American River Parkway, just east of Sacramento
Terrain: Mature riparian forest, trees and large bushes scattered with open areas between, many fallen logs, topography generally flat but with a few small ravines.
Representing mankind: Me, my brother
Representing nature: Three wild turkeys

"I wonder if we could catch those things?"
"I dunno... Let's give it a shot."

The place was PERFECT for nature parkour, and I managed to get about 7 feet from… Continue

Don't worry about it. I'm thinking of running to GWHS from the Powell Street BART station. It'll be a good warmup, and get me back into my old element a bit. I'd appreciate the ride back, though. See you tomorrow!

Hey Bio, it was great running into you guys last night in Berkeley. Is there any way I can bum a ride to the GWHS event on Sunday?

Wow, why don't my usual questions prompt this many insightful and helpful answers? I learned a lot from the responses of this single post. You're ALL true :D I guess like the saying goes, one mind any weapon. One body, any obstacle. Thanks (: Thi...

As the saying goes, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Or similarly, it's not important to know the answers as much as it is to know how to go about finding them. I think of parkour in terms of music- it's important to b...

I suppose it depends a bit on your personal training style. What do you what to emphasize in your training? What interests you? If all you want is to be as fast as you can, then I can see wanting to find your strengths and relying on them almost e...

LOL, good answer. I think I see what you mean now. So then, you'd say that the original question here is moot. It's not a question of technique but rather of instict and experience, and that neither "quality" nor "quantity" matter. Am I...missin...

I think we should try to learn as many techniques as possible but NOT as fast as possible. I would start with the basic ones, and get those down before you elaborate on them and learn more advanced techniques. ...and everything Giorgio said is t...
