Hello! I am a photojournalist who will be travelling to Ukraine at the end of the year.

I have been photographing parkour communities in Northern Europe and US and I was wondering if anyone know if there’s a parkour scene in western Ukraine (Lviv in particular) and how to contact them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Hey guys, I used to train almost every weekend from 2012-2019 and would supplement the training with lifting and some calisthenics. I was never amazing but I had intermediate skills. The issue is since COVID and due to a shoulder injury just before that, I had to stop. Also, life kind of got in the way which also made to stop.

I have been lifting somewhat seriously since 2021 after the lockdowns were lifted. I will get a shoulder surgery sometime in June or July next year. Could you guys suggest some exercises so that I can get started again and get back some of the skills I lost? Once I get the surgery, I won't be able to lift or train properly for another 4-6 months. I really miss parkour and can't let go of it. Please help, folks!

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on flips for awhile now and have finally gotten to the point where I can do my side flips anywhere including concrete.

What I have found though is frequently I will have bad landings with my leading foot on c concrete and have lightly bruised my heel a few times. Although it doesn’t happen often, I’d like to get to the point where it doesn’t happen at all so I can build into bigger things and have more versatility in my lines.

Any advice for working on my landing tech for flips?

Edit: I’ve noticed this is especially the case for my front flips, specifically block not Webster though.

im new to parkour and i can do the tic-tac on a board covered in grip tape that is set at about a 65 degree angle and im asking for some tips that will help me eventually get to 90 degree brick wall level of skill.

When I was younger I used to have this foreign parkour film/documentary about these guys doing parkour before it was a 'thing' and I am trying to find it.

It was set in a european country maybe france around 2003-6 and the final shot was the guy walking/standing on the edge of a high building and it zooms out and you see how high he is.

there is no fake movie parkour scenes it was quite a guerilla style film.

I feel like it would be a classic with parkour coummunity as it was how I was introduced

Thanks

I live in a fairly small trailer park, I've seen the entire place, and there isn't anything to use for practicing parkour. I'm just now trying to start doing parkour after being really interested in it for years. I don't have a car, so I can't drive anywhere either.

(I'm not too sure which label this falls under)

For a while, I've been interested in learning parkour, but I'm not sure how to start. I don't know if I need to take a class or if it's something that can be self-taught, so I was just curious about how everyone else started.

I was wondering if anyone could give me tips on how to start or if anyone would be comfortable sharing how they started?

As the title suggests, why didn’t David Belle bring in Sébastien Foucan to star in the B13 movies? I vaguely remember (or am I misremembering?) reading somewhere that there was bad blood between the two. Or maybe I'm reading too much into this. Any thoughts?

I've been watching a lot of the old classic videos from France in the 2000s, and some old David belle footage, seems like a lot of the originators had a specific choice of shoe but I can't find what it is?

I've heard people say Vertigo zoom shoes? Which I couldn't see online, there's people that say they were new balance 990s?

Just tryna get my parkour history in, so if anyone knows anything feel free to share. Thanks
