I'm pretty sure that most of those people you've been pointing out were the ones that the majority of the traceurs i have talked to about this film have raised an eyebrow at. I think at this point it's pretty well believed that they were the points that were either unnecessary or should of had some kind of note for the new practitioners. Overall, though the piece was done very well and offers a great view of the parkour community as something that is much bigger than it originally seems. It's a great way off seeing where we all are as a whole, throughout the world, as opposed to the smaller communities. I agree with what Kaos said about the local communities being the ones that will carry parkour on, but, that isn't going to change the fact that parkour is still expanding at an amazing, and sometimes alarming, rate. Communities will constantly be in a state of flux, as certain communities combine, and others splinter off, and throughout all of it, we have to remember that in the end, we are all practicing the same art, and that does tie us together, even if we've never met.

That means you can cut the film to show the parts you deem most educational. If anyone is interested, they could make a more streamline version similar to how TK17 released "Obstacles and Opportunities" alongside "Pilgrimage."

Nice! I'm so happy I watched it. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by one particular move or one particular kind of obstacle, and I guess this movie showed me that parkour isn't about obstacles or moves, but about lifestyle. I love that. Also now that I know that even the pros hurt themselves during kong vaults, I'll never hate myself for hesitating around those picnic tables again.

I'll have to make it a point to check this documentary out.

It seems like parkour's generating a lot of interest from documentary makers...I wonder if there are going to be many more. Are there any more that are currently filming?

really great film...I'm glad nothing I said made it into the final cut, there were much more elegantly spoken individuals than me :)
