Parkour Saturday

14 Oct

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!

    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!
