JAM!! :D [17 Aug 2005|10:44am]
[ mood | accomplished ]

Anthony and i are trying to set up a jam for this friday.

How did it come to beeeeee?
Well, ail's older brother, charles, (i think) had to do a paper and his group chose to write about parkour.
Then they interviwed me and anthony and so we gave em what we got. We talked about the culture, the philosophy, the essence that pk has for each of us. how it isn't a competition and how, just like philosophy, each person has his or her own path, and his or her own system.

The theory of reverse evolution (which we weren't able to explain much) but generally, we just talked about parkour.

Then after they left, we talked about the greater appreciation we suddenly had for parkour and how much we missed it. So there.

THIS FIRDAY, there will be a parkour jam.
Details? will be updated tonight, anthony and i still have to finalize em but it will most probably be in the QC area of Ateneo and possibly UP.
We know we're a little rusty, but it's a way of life, and we're never gonna let it go :P

Go pk!
Wait for announcements, okay? thanks :D

OH, AND...
We have a feeling, more jams will begin to happen later this year..
But the problem is, everyone's counting on US to make them..
SO.. to make things easier, better communication, etc.

We're gonna make the Parkour_philippines EGROUPS :P yey!
If you want in, just email me your email addresses, then we'll make it tonight :D thank you!

The fantastic rise or horrible corruption or parkour

...a VERY interesting read.

So all you people out there, if you're interested in parkour, PLEASE DON'T FORGET to learn the philosophies, and follow them by heart.

I love this sport, this art.

It's a shame what's happening right now but hey, it can be worked on.

also, if you haven't seen it yet, here's the online version of our article in the Guidon.

Here's a better pic ;) just to show you that, as it is VERY HIGH, it IS VERY FAR.


------------------------------------------------------------------------

WOOH, le parkour is big and it's back baybee. It seems to have had a big explosion in the UK just recently with the release of "Jump Britain" (where these pics were taken from) but that's not all that parkour is about. It's not just about big jumps and fancy vaults and flips, its about freedom :P

Interested? Truly interested? Vaguely interested? oh hey, why not. We're having a massive jam/introduction this saturday afternoon after lunch. We meet at Anthony's house then we might continue on the Club Gymnastica for some safe vault practice.(don't forget to bring a hundred bucks for that. if you wanna join there too.) Need the address? contact My YM - irapogi maybe leave your contact cel number just in case and i'll get back to you A.S.A.P.
- actually the address is #10. San Leonardo Capitol 8, Pasig, Drilon Residence - Derek-
meet there after lunch, This Saturday. January 22, 2005

This isn't limited to the 4 members of the parkoubo krew, this is open to everyone! we're starting our slow but sure expansion of parkour. That means YOU to; Juni, Jenny, Erika, Lernie, etc..
Please please come :) we'll make it big :)
AND
a surprise announcement to those who come :) just go!

We'll have a vague itinerary of;
- Intro to philosophy of le parkour (the art of movement) / freerunning
- Some vids
- Introduction to various parkour techniques(basic)
- Gymnastica vault drills (possibly flips for others? Who knows..)
- General Parkour jam..

but generally, yeah, don't worry. stadium jumps are only part of our dreams.
We'll have simple vaults, roll practices, wall techniques, catleaps maybe, simple drills all in all for newbies out there :)

RECAP:
This saturday, January 22, 2005

Parkour featured on CSI tv show
Entitled 'Tri-Borough,' the episode will see main characters Mac Taylor and Stella Bonasera investigating the death of a young man killed by electrocution and then dumped on the street. The victim is identified as Red 'Slick' Hontz by his best friend and frequent parkour partner Alex, but when it turns out that Alex already has a burglary conviction on his record, Mac and Stella are left to wonder whether Slick was killed while taking another less than legal diversion from his parkour run.
The episode is expected to air sometime in early December on the American television network CBS. 'CSI: New York' is the third 'CSI' show, after the original 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation' and the first spin-off 'CSI: Miami.' The show
debuted earlier this year, and is currently attracting about 15 million viewers per episode. The series' lead actors are Gary Sinise (Mac Taylor) and Melina Kanakaredes (Stella Bonasera).
Full information on the episode can be found by clicking here.
Good publicity for Parkour? You decide......

What it's all about: PK NEWS [12 Nov 2004|01:34am]
[ mood | content ]
[ music | letter kills- clock is down ]

Here's some PK News for you, in case you're curious or just interested...huh? And if you are, support the PK movement <---gets? "PK movement" wahaha..ill shut up now.

MUST WATCH IT!

Jump London to air in Asia
The Jump London documentary is set to be broadcast again on the Discovery Channel in Asia on Sun 21st Nov at 9.00 pm, Mon 22nd Nov at 1.00 pm, Sun 28 Nov at 9.00 am. The times listed are in local Singapore time (GMT+08.00)

--->This is the famous Disovery showcase documentary on the art of Freerunning or Le Parkour. Some founding members of this sport/discipline have been granted to perform and practice their art in most of the most famous places in London. If you like it, there's gonna be a sequel called Jump UK which just finished filming and is currently being edited. I'll keep you guys updated so watch out for it. They say its gonna be better and features a whole lot of traceurs or freerunners, new and old alike.

More Parkour exposure on EX
It seems like the UF documentary aired a few months back on the Extreme sports channel has started to pay off.....This Saturday (13th of Nov) will see Chase Lee and his Supertricks team from the UK, getting some spotlight attention when their 'Evolution' video will be aired on a show called 'Sick'. Exact details of the time are sketchy but it's scheduled to go out between 8am and 12pm (GMT). *There's still a possible chance that the slot will be put back a week but for now the 13th seems to be all go.*
With the doors now open for Parkour, there's every possibility of seeing regular airings of the discipline on their channel. Keep hope alive.
Bulgarian Parkour gets media attention

--> I'm not sure if we even have Extreme Sports Channel or you guys..but if you do, doesn't hurt to check it out. I personally have a copy of the 'Evolution' Video...and yup, its definitely a keeper. Just reply to this post if you want to know where i downloaded it. PK4lyf!

Note: Just to show my respect, the news items are taken from www.urbanfreeflow.com , Global Parkour Network and Home of Parkour Worldwide. PrOpS!

In other news, we've been doing strenght and endurance training weekly since last week of sem break and will be planning to this regularly. We've also done some basics training over the break...and we've discovered some new vault variations and fine tuned others.
Friends are welcome to join us in our jogs and training sessions on Monday and Wednesday afternoons especially since sometimes, only two of us are available =p]
and maybe..ill go try to go back to weight training in the College covered courts gym on Tues and Thurs since this Sem is relatively simpler. Andre B. invited me, anyone else care to join me?
on a side note: Adhesion and I have joined Judo class, its fun, and we learn to roll better.
Also, we're planning to update the other Site with tutorials and pictures...so just watch out.
plus, we want to Club gymnastica to try some of the advanced moves and flips, and finetune the rest.(basics are still important!)
And the shirts are currently being made already by Tinahhhhh(thank you!!!)...once its done...we'll have our training shirts when we train around the campus YAY!

It's an article about parkour. When this journalist interviewed the the UF krew.
All in all, pretty good. She stays away from the conception as parkour being similar to "jackass" and brings light to the whole philosophy of it all.

After reading it, it made me think. I will not be selfish. Must be a traceur.
Le Parkour can be for anyone who is interested. But i do stress that you have to give respect to it and i just hope it isn't treated as just another fad.

I agree with the article.
My life's changed.

Derek, Ira and I went to the Greenbelt area today to look for hot spots. Well, we were originally supposed to go to Ortigas, but we figured Makati would be more fun. And it was. :P We mostly roamed the area tho, checking out spots and the stability of the bars, rails, etc.

Uh, we have some pics, but most of them were taken in the park outside my house. At night. Hehe!

oh yeah.. the pics could be HUGE. ata. hehe.
