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

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

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.

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.

Rolling along, on the ole concrete

By the way, we were recently on OPB Radio!
