Take Flight

Take Flight sponsored Nick Bishop is one of the most talented and fastest rising Parkour athletes in the country. With a background in extreme rollerblading Nick has a unique movement style and an unparalleled comfort with aerial movements that is turning heads and making waves in the Parkour world even though he is relatively new to the scene.

After months in production Nick has finally unveiled his initial 2010 demo edit for the public to see. The video is embedded below from its position on the Take Flight YouTube channel. In the video Nick sports exclusively Parkour apparel from Take Flight including the Original Parkour Tee, the Original Parkour Pants, the Vault Man Tee and the Parkour Wings Tee.

This video is only a small preview of what’s in store for Nick Bishop. He is hard at work producing new videos, and has some big events coming up soon as well which we will unveil shortly.

Daniel Ilabaca is one of the most gifted and talented Tracers in the world today. The magnitude of his movements is eye-popping, his mastery of technique is flawless, and what he does physically is only rivaled by his unparalleled mental control and focus. Tracers around the world would do well to study, emulate, and strive to move like Daniel. The seeming effortlessness and awe-inspiring beauty of his movements in all capacities is nothing short of spectacular.

Following is the extended version of Daniel’s 2007 Showreel. True to Daniel’s abilities and style, the video is packed with vaults, rolls, and a plethora of flips and tricks.

A few days ago one of our members in the MisterParkour.com International Forum posted a link to a spectacular video featuring Stephane Vigroux. The video was so good that we have decided to add the video to the MisterParkour.com library which is what we have done in this post.

The short documentary below, by Craig Pentak, features an extensive interview with Stephane Vigroux intermittent with scenes of Parkour training in London. During the interview Stephane talks about the origin and history of Parkour, the Yamakasi, and the word Tracer. He also discusses the mental aspects of Parkour, and his own personal journey finding Parkour and establishing Parkour Generations. In addition, Stephane discusses the obstacles he feels the art of Parkour is currently facing including the push by some to commercialize Parkour and promote Parkour competitions. To this end the documentary is concluded with Stephane discussing his own views, including David Belle’s and Sebastién Foucan’s opinions, of the recent World Freerun Championships.

This video is definitely a must see for everyone in the community; great insight from one of the humblest and most skilled practitioners on the planet.
