"A preconceived thought": A new article by Therese from Uppsala, Sweden

"A friend said to me: 'Describing Parkour is like describing colors to a man born blind', i.e. that it's almost impossible. Of course you can find facts about Parkour and ultimately they will give an approximate definition. But Parkour for me is a lifestyle,"
In a Wikipedia world, anyone can look up what "Parkour" means, but from the icy north, Therese talks about the different views of parkour which many of us have experienced - Check it! www.girlparkour.com/page58.htm
..and check out the other great Articles too :)

New Training Page for Girls in Melbourne and Brisbane Australia

The whole idea behind this page is to get more girls training together. Not that there is anything wrong with training with boys, its actually important to do that too. But for some girls it's not that easy, in fact it can even quite intimidating, for reasons varying from difference in skill level, age, to general self consciousness. This is not a business. It's a social group for girls who do parkour!

So if you are a girl/woman/female feel free to post any jam or training session in Melbourne or Brisbane on these pages you are planning on attending so that other gals can know and possibly join you.

Or if you have any questions in general don't be afraid to ask y'all.
