BACK TO THE BASE! (But with some caution: please let's meet at the lower parking lot, alongside the South bleachers and warm up there...) Basic/beginners training provided, but ALL LEVELS present and WELCOME! Check here for RIDES. Session descr...

It would be nice if any brand-new-kid-on-the-block (only absolute beginners, without previous experience training parkour, or at least training with others...) would want to tell us about their first day impressions here. Thanks, BAPK

Well... if you think about it the speed round was the most parkour nature of the whole show... all the other parts were both pk and fr mixed... i love the speed round... you have to think quick and just try and execute... in the real worl you have...

*applauds* I really appreciate your just coming out and saying it - with this many people getting into it, there's going to be and there's going to be bad. Luckily we as individuals and as a community get to choose what to take from it. Great en...

I think he's talking about the huge leap in the most recent B13 movie, not the manpower gap. I am pretty sure it's fake, I don't think the human body (even David Belle's) can deal with that much impact, and I think David is too smart to do someth...

Spotters...

Something came up at the Sunday Beginners' Training today that I think needs to be addressed: the use of spotters in parkour.

I will be giving you all my full and honest opinion about this issue, and if you decide to post, I expect that you will give me yours.

I believe that spotters have no place in parkour besides when dealing with movements that cannot be easily worked up to. I have been taught to never try anything that I am not sure I am capable of doing safely, and I think that the use o… Continue

Flips

Wow! I think this is worth posting! Today I worked on flips on my neighbor's trampoline, and I can finally do a good front flip. Yeah, I know, it's easy n a trampoline, but I was doing it without jumping before the flip. I think I'm going to go for it next time at Ocean Beach off of one of the walls if I'm feeling confident enough that day. For now, I'll just keep practicing on the trampoline.

Hey, any ideas for a good place to train for the Silent Sessions?

Hey dude, I was thinking last night and I was stuck between training with you guys or playing badminton with my friends for like two hours. I felt the chills even with a heater in my room and my shoes and socks and feet were soaked and freezing. I think I'll be indoors playing some badminton today with my friends, I only get to see them on the weekends. I hope you guys understand. I truly wanted to train with you guys today, I'll join you when the weather is a little more suited for total beginners like me. Have fun training you guys! I'll join you next week.

I do that, for the most part. Thing is? I hurt myself on the simplest of things, such as just plain jogging. It's not a matter of the big things I do, but rather just the stupid little accidents that happen every now and again.

good question Marisa, that line is too fine and too subjective. i interchange fearlessness with overconfidence-- just short of stupidity

Nice story, thanks for sharing. The subject of fear as an obstacle comes up a lot in pk (related) discussions and it's an interesting paradox how abolishing fear can mean indulging in recklessness. I've found myself asking the question, at what po...

Is he really saying to choose not to fall? I would agree with the idea that it's bad to be afraid of falling, but I also think it is more beneficial to choose to fall on occasion, to learn how to do it and be able to not only maintain a clear ment...
