I know a couple of you know that I am a Traceur (practitioner of Parkour). I've been training for quite a while now, except for the last couple months (Knee Injury).

Tonight on MTV, at 10pm, they are airing this show. It is basically a bunch of my friends (who are some of the best in the world), showboating their skills in a "Challenge."

I figure I would mention it because it should be good. My friends are incredible, and their talents know no boundaries. And maybe you guys might want to give it a go. I can hook you up with training groups all over the country (and Canada, England, Germany, France, Scotland, and Ireland).


This also means I'm going to have to find a tv to watch it on because I don't get MTV.

I was not thrilled with it, but it was fun to watch my friends. I knew MTV would make it look bad in some way.

Where in Canada do you live?

Peterborough, its 2 hours from Toronto, an hour from the GTA.

It was cool, but could have done without all of the MTVness.

MTV fucks everything up.

I mean, look at their bullshit channel. They can't even fucking play music correctly.

I can get you hooked up in Toronto. Toronto has a good sized community.

My friend Daniel Arroyo took quite a fall. He probably didn't really need the hospital, but it looks better when you go. And David (Kind David) took a nice spill off that ladder.

Daniel Ilabaca is just too fluent. I've trained with him before, and what he does is even crazier in person.

I always figured those guys were incredibly gifted with springs and Go-Go-Gadget shoes, and resigned myself to a life of being a heavy guy that could knock your ass out with one shot to the face. Do they have "big dudes" doing that? Because all the guys I see in videos are wiry and slender. Don't see many pro-wrestler-built dudes doing it.

Yes, we have a couple heavier built guys in New York Parkour. It's not so much that they can't move like that, they just move in different ways. Simple as that.

None of us have a gift. We simply train our asses off to be able to do that kind of shit.

You can try those guys out. I don't personally know them, but they train out of Boise.

Parkour Toronto is one of the bigger communities in North America. I've trained with a couple of the guys in New York City. Get together with a couple of those guys and you will learn a lot. Our workouts are some of the toughest. It requires you to work muscle you never think existed. One of the best ways to stay in shape. Enjoy.
