Awesome stuff! Parcour looks pretty useful…especially if one takes up rollersuiting and ends up off the road.
We’re all looking forward to videos of you doing these, Tom!
The individuals that actually do parkour are quite impressive. They have amazing self awareness and balance.
Anyway, I look forward to reading more of your blog posts in the near term. Hope all is well, Tom!
Charles and Rick,
I was astonished at the things those guys can do. It’s given me some more incentive to get into shape. (A lot of time on the road can make you soft, which ain’t good.) I may have a little time in China to do so, although my schedule will be pretty full.
All the best,
Tom
These are both awesome. Thanks, Tom.
Parkour has a history, which you can find at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour. Are you thinking of taking it up?
Here’s are links to another one you might want to add, called “mountain wingsuit flying”. Human flying squirrels.
