Here’s a bunch of photos I took at the national jam in Seattle at Gas Works Park on August 29. My full set’s on flickr here. You might see more at the Washington Parkour or Parkour Visions flickr groups.

Parkour Visions (run by the Traceurs in washington) is up on the list of nominees for Nau’s Grant for Change. To get the grant, they need votes. So everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, needs to go here (by August 31): www.parkourvisions.com/vote
then click the vote/share button near the top right, create a nau.com account, and give Parkour Visions a 5 star rating.

If Parkour Visions gets this grant, they will be a big step closer to setting up a parkour gym in the Seattle area!

About a year ago, some Portland traceurs and some Portland photographers got together and made lots of photos.. I realized there were lots of photos I took but never worked on, so I finally worked on them. The first one is an all around panorama that you can View immersively here.

For other people’s photos from this shoot, see these other places:

We are now officially an American Parkour affiliate. We hope this will bring more people to the discipline here in Oregon, and help solidify the image of Parkour nationally.

Don’t forget to check out the Oregon state photo gallery at American Parkour!

We finally have some photos of parkour in Oregon that are not Portland related! And here they are, direct from Eugene:

After a couple of years with “Under Construction, please visit forums”, finally we’ve installed a more functioning website! Over time, we’ll be streamlining this site, and adding more pictures, videos, a calendar, etc, etc, when we should be out training instead!

Things are going to look a lot different right now, and will most likely be changing drastically over the next few months. Stick with it though and let us know how you’d like to see the Oregon Parkour community grow in the future!

That being said, please visit the forums.

By the way, we were recently on OPB Radio!
