Parkour Saturday
Here is a quick video of some Parkour fun from the Wallace Park area in NW Portland. Great fun, and a very functional application of fitness. Nothing too fancy, but keep in mind that this was only the first or second time trying this stuff for any of us. We will be doing more of these in the future!

CrossFit Portland Parkour Clinic with Rafe Kelley
Parkour is the art of overcoming obstacles as swiftly and efficiently as possible using only your body. The fundamentals include running, jumping, and climbing. We build on these fundamentals to improve our ability to pass over, under, around and through obstacles with more complex movements.
Rafe Kelley is a founding member of Washington’s Parkour community, and a respected member of the national and international Parkour community.

Sweet, and Steely Dan to top it off.
Great stuff! Looks like alot of fun. I am tempted to give that a try sometime.
Hi! My name is Zoran and I’m a practitioner of Parkour here in Portland and a big fan of Crossfit training methods. Crossfit translate very well into Parkour training - it’s a match made in heaven!
There’s a website and a forum for Oregon Parkour, we have around a dozen active members. I that we can learn a lot from you guys and we’ll be happy to share our knowledge of Parkour. We have a jam once or twice a week, sometimes on weekdays but mainly weekends.
http://www.oregonparkour.com/forums if you’re interested! Hope to see you guys around.
And nice form on the vaults! I’ve never heard of Wallace Park, but it seems to have a lot of potential for training. Couch Park and Keller Fountain are also great deals of fun!
@zoran-
awesome! you’ll have to let us know when you’re going out next. i’ll check your site too.
feel free to come check out CrossFit Portland sometime soon too!
Hi Zoran. That would be a lot of fun to meet up sometime. I’ll check out the website, and some of the spots. Drop in anytime!
There’s a jam scheduled for Keller fountain at 1pm on Sunday. You guys are welcome to jump around with us!
Hi Zoran-
Wish we could have made it out. Soon…..
