Hey everyone,

Here is a documentary by Michael Alosi featuring many American freerunners as well as PK Gen and the Yamakasi whom we met up with during the International Gathering in Evry last May. Enjoy!

The naration was really good.

I watched the begining but I already know what parkour is so I don't feel the need to watch it all.

Great vid though.

See thats were most people fail. everyone thinks they know what freerunning or parkour is, but you only know it to your understand, you dont know other peoples views or opinions. the opinions and understanding that others follow could perhaps help you progress more through your training etc.

hehehe, my god, how things are moving along... so many familiar faces, even ace is still knocking around... Was refreshing to see all of that, thankyou for posting.

Shib, I found myself thinking exactly the same thing too :). Oddly enough I am just getting into airsoft atm. It's hillarious just how similar the situation is with that too. But there everyone has more or less accepted that they are just grown men playing with toy guns, they just know they love what they do :).

I swear American parkour never seems to have the fluidity or cleanliness of British/European parkour. Perhaps the training styles are different but in regard to a general standard.

Tims part was good, pity no TK17.

Some of this Doc was really good but some of it was like PAAAAAAAAHHHHH so mixed opinion.

Watch the family video 06 that Duncan edited, and the fludity and cleanliness is about the same that we can see in this current video.

It's just time…

That is very true actually, i have always noticed this when i see people training here. Hopefully i will be an exception at some point. :)
I think it is mostly the fact that people here train for the most time single movements
