Parkour Tour is back! For those of you that remember the amazing videos of Ilabaca from the Beyond the Brink Parkour Tour, the same people are now going to travel to cities around the world and make similar videos! This time they do not have a corporate sponsor, and so are asking for donations from the parkour community. They've almost reached their goal already, so donate today and get great prizes while doing so!
I am sorry to announce that class for Sunday, January 22nd at Circus Warehouse has been canceled. Please check back on our classes page for the upcoming class date and time. We look forward to seeing you at the next class.

Two of NYPK's Senior Representatives, Trevor Ray and Thomas Dolan, recently edited together short mini-reels showing some of their recent movement and a little bit of professional work. Take the time to watch both short videos, and don't forget to show your support!
For this Video of the Week, here's an amazing traceuse from Russia. Great flow, strength, and some amazing tricks. A great video to watch, and maybe especially inspiring to all our female practitioners out there!
Film maker Sarah JBowman sits down with Fellow Practitioner Pip Anderson for a personal interview about himself and the PK life style he lives. For a look at the interview click here.
It’s refreshing to see that the next generation of practitioners are stepping up and doing so with firm emphasis on fluidity. This video features a selection of youngsters from Parkour Miramas in France.
Parkour UK in partnership with Decathlon has secured the return of the shoe of choice for Traceurs / Freerunners. The New Success shoes will no longer carry the Kalenji branding, which does not mean the shoe is not the same as the old one: in fact, it's better. Decathlon UK, in partnership with Parkour UK have decided to develop a new brand called "Success" which will be specifically designed for Prakour / Freerunning. For more info click here.
Here is a sneek peek from their design development team of Decathlon Company for the New Kalenji Success (a.k.a) the Success
Red Bull's "Art of Motion" competition was held this past Sunday in London, and the results are in. Tim "Livewire" Shieff placed first, Marcus Gustaffson second, and Ryan Doyle in third.
The event was hosted by Travis Wong and judged by Ben Jenkin and Filip Ljundberg. Among the competing athletes were Ryan Doyle, Tim "Livewire" Shieff, Pip Andersen, Justin "Jet" Sheaffer, Jason Paul, Yoann "Zephyr" Leroux, Marvin Ross, Marcus Gustaffson, Cato Aspmo, Delyan Dimitrov, and Phil Doyle (who took over for an injured Andi from Austria). Unfortunately there were several injuries during the competition, including a bad fall by Yoann "Zephyr."
There is not much footage up yet of individual runs, but Visive Productions has put out a nice edit of the event. Check out the video here.
