So every once in a while all the stars align and something amazing happens. I must read and view over a hundred articles about parkour and freerunning everyday, and I can scream all I want about the coming of PKFR, but even with over a quarter of a million fans on Facebook, few people (ie. advertisers/sponsors/companies) believe me… But now I finally have the undeniable proof. Here is my reasoning in bullet form (and I already ask forgiveness to those who blame us for selling out – we are not!)

And this is just in the past 4 months!!!!!! We are definitely in the year of Parkour!!!

And FYI – Taylor Lautner may be a pretty boy, but the dude can jump!

Parkour and Freerunning have, without a doubt, become engrained in contemporary social culture. Just the other day, Stewie and Brian from Family Guy were chasing a french traceur in Paris, while J-LO was swaging her god-given assets in a parkour chase down the streets of Acapulco.

But to those that have made the disciplines a lifestyle, all this saves us is another explanation about what parkour is… and isn’t.

So how do we express the what Parkour and Freerunning mean. We know words and minute long videos on Youtube are not enough. This is why we have people like Cedric Dahl – visual masters who can translate emotion, thoughts and an entire way of life into a tangible visual masterpiece that will move you and answer once and for all what parkour means to those that live the disciplines.

Somewhere in a city called Los Angeles, a group of traceurs and freerunners have taken their art form to a whole other level. With millions of views on Youtube, team Tempest is synonymous with Parkour and Freerunning in the USA. They might not like me saying that, but this team of excentric friends are the godfathers of Parkour and Freerunning in this country. They are also some of the nicest, most humble and funny people you will ever meet.
