Freerunning baned in UK city
In some bad news from the UK, "freerunning" has been demed antisocial because of the actions of a few bad apples and has been banned by the Wirral Council, in Liverpool. Perhaps someone should enlighten these "authorities" to the global grass roots "Leave no trace" initiative, which has cleaned up more crap then we can remember.

Fake Parkour related Death
We are somewhat relieved, and angered to announce that what we long suspected to be a hoax, was infact a hoax, prepetrated by some Greek Traceurs, who got there 15 minutes in the worst way. We're glad we waited for proof before putting up the news.
