I just started gettin into freerunnin/parkour last year, and went out on friday and remembered how much fun it is. If you have no idea of what im talkin about go to Le Parkour.ca, Parkour.Net, or Parkour Toronto. Its sooo rediculusly fun, and pretty cool to watch too. Any one else on here do it??

yea..it is a little easier to get the word out about it here..its been in the news, on tv, in the papers, magazines a few times over the last 2 or 3 years. We actually have a comercial for a cell phone provider advertising MP3 phones and it has members of PKTO.ca and Leparkour.ca in it. It was filmed over in London. But yea, its a growing sport here. I went to a training session today with one of the best guys in Toronto. There were about 10 ppl who came in total and a film crew from Ryerson University doing a documentory on the sport. But yea. Fun day. Only got 1 nice cut on my forarm from clippin a fence. But its not as hard as you would think if you have some upper body strength, you have the proper type of shoes, confidence and the right way of training. Like today for instance, i learned the proper way to do side vaults, lazy vaults, monkey vaults, 360 vaules, revert vaults. It was pretty easy, hard on the body, but easy enough to do.
