Take Flight partner Urban Vanguard has recently undertaken an initiative to bring Parkour parks to New York City. Working in accordance with the New York based non-profit Open Road NY, Urban Vanguard is deciding on locations and raising funds for the undertaking. They have already held a BBQ fundraiser, and in accordance with Take Flight and other organizations UV is planning other fundraisers at well.

Below is a video released by Urban Vanguard featuring Sha Mualimm-Ak speaking about the Parkour parks undertaking.

Parkour Generations: City Gents

by MisterParkour on May.30, 2008, under Videos

Here is another great video from Julie Angel and Parkour Generations. Finding a different route through the city Stephane Vigroux, Forrest, Sébastien Goudot, and Chris Keighley utilize Parkour to reach their final destination; the bank. And most impressive of all they do this while wearing suits and Chris is even carrying a briefcase! In spite of this there is nothing too spectacular here, but it’s a superb and entertaining all around film nonetheless.
