Hi, I just signed up...i have been interested in Parkour for a couple months now but I dont really know how to get started ...I live in Lynn MA about a 30 or so min drive north of BOSTON.

Im 5'5" and about 140 lbs...besides the fact that it looks friggin awesome...I want to be in a better physical condition than I am right now. .....

I would really really like to get into PARKOUR - if there are any traceurs around my area that are willing to let me train with them and show me the ropes..please let me know I would really appreciate it...

Hey Edgar, you should check out neparkour.com. It's the New England website. There are a number of Boston traceurs that are members of that board that train regularly. In fact, starting July 1st, there's going to be a tour of the New England Hotspots. Everyone's welcome and there's always someone present willing to help beginners train.

Hey you can call me Risu, haha i am around 6'1" or 6'2" not sure how much i weigh but, I wanted to know if there is anything parkour related in Southern California San Diego area. as a side note i have plenty of running endurance and speed. On my cross country team, I made 9th place for fastest person on the entire team, and I and made Varsity in Track and Field. so now im working on upper body strength.

Remember, remember the fith of Novermber, the gunpowder treason and plot, I know of no reason why gunpowder treason, should ever be forgot...
