The video you had linked was from a couple years ago... #1 of the 3 head to head challenges. The other 2 winners were traceurs Levi Meeuwenberg from MI and Brian Orosco from SFPK/ Team Tempest. There was an elimination, and Ruselis Perry lost - the…
One of the cool but confusing things about this forum is the ability to post replies out of sequence.
Taelis - I think you'll find plenty people willing to help you out. Try to hook up with some of the other traceuses. They can help you learn your…
This is what I think Angelina was saying:
"It sucks [but is empowering] to be the only woman in the area doing parkour. I feel inferior when other people can do things I can't do. Sometimes the only difference I can see is that they're men. Why are…
The natural movements parkour is based on are: Walk, run, jump, climb, quad movement, and balance. Those are natural to all people, not just to men.
Parkour is not natural movement. A kong's a complex series of movements. There's like seven [or mor…
My couple hours of barefoot training a week were no match for JC's years of running around barefoot. He was too fast for me. I started landing bad, bad foot placement, struggling to keep up. My feet are pretty battered today, and so is my ego ;D

No, it's my fault, it said it earlier in the thread and I thought I scanned it already along with the other additional pages. I'll try to get the scanner out either tonight or tomorrow morning!
Wow! Thanks!
It wasn't your fault. I didn't realize it was messed up in the Google scan until I finished translating the other pages from you. You were a huge help to me [and Pilou].
This is so cool. :D
Thanks for the pages. The FOREWORD and EXPOSE have been completely updated [tho I didn't put all the pictures in].
Follow the links to the APK Hawaii forum [like the one above].
If anyone is REALLY bored, and is hanging out in Harvard Library with…
Thanks so much! Perfect timing!
I just finished translating [mostly the picture captions of] the DEFENSE section. SEE IT HERE
I'll email these pages to Pilou right now, and start translating them!
Merci beaucoup! Mahalo nui loa!

Here's the progression I tried:
