In the United States priority shipping means your package will arrive in 1-3 business days. We have an option in our store where you can choose priority shipping over standard shipping, but it often costs most, especially for smaller orders. We’ll now and up through the 23^rd we’re giving all orders the priority treatment with a free upgrade!

No coupon codes, special emails, or notices are needed. This service is a commitment from us and we will apply it immediately to all orders to make sure they arrive as soon as possible and, we hope, before Christmas.

This is just a small part of giving back to you and giving you the best service possible in this holiday season.

Happy Holidays!

Due to the overwhelming success of the TF Traceur Hoodie, we’ve decided to launch a special edition TF Traceur Tee. The design is exactly the same as the hoodie except for two variations:

1. It’s a tee, not a hoodie.
2. It’s half the price

This tee is being launched in a special edition production especially for the holiday seasons, and we have no plans to reproduce it once it sells out.

If you loved the TF Traceur Hoodie design* and if your looking for a Parkour tee that says it all then grab one of the TF Traceur Tees for yourself or someone you love. We guarantee it will make you want to Take Flight.

*By the way, at the moment of this blog posting, the TF Traceur Hoodie is out of stock, but we are working on getting it back in stock in time for Xmas. Any day now we may have they could be back, so stay tuned into the TF Blog and the Take Flight Facebook page for the pending news.

The reincarnation of the Donatello Original Parkour Tee is here! If you thought it was gone you were right. But we’ve brought it back especially for Christmas in a special edition relaunch.

There are less than 50 Donatello Tees in stock and we don’t expect them to stay that way for long. Be a ninja or a Traceur. Up to you. Either way, with the Holiday rush now upon us, the time is now to pick up your version before they are gone for good.

 

On November 28th David Belle responded to questions via his Twitter. Here is a transcript of the questions and Belle’s  answers in the order he responded to them. I also did my best to provide the translations of Belle’s answers when he responded in French.

I heard that Paul Walker will replace Cyril in #D13 Remake. Do you think it’s a good choice? I think its a joke

 

davbelle David Belle

Personally I like very much the work Paul Walker has done. The film will be a new experience for me and I look forward to working with him : )

MatejSnopek Matej Snopek

Do you have any plans of creating a Parkour Academy, that is, a parkour “school” like the parkour generations have done?

 

davbelle David Belle

I would like very much to make a Parkour center for everyone to introduce people to Parkour. Maybe in a few years.

Why is there no flip in real parkour? #parkour

 

davbelle David Belle

If you feel the need to do a flip in the moment then it exists. Do as you feel : ) It’s not useful but it still exists. For example, you can walk down the street and then do a roll all of a sudden. It’s not useful but you can still do it.

qu’est ce que la pratique du parkour peut apporter au monde de l entreprise, au niveau du management?

[What can the practice of Parkour bring to the business world at the level of management?]

 

davbelle David Belle

Plus de certitude dans le decision. Quand t’es sur de toi meme t’es plus fort.

[More certitude in the decisions. When you are sure of yourself then you are stronger.]

as a university student, I find I don’t have the time I used to for training. How do I continue training with my busy schedule?

 

davbelle David Belle

Find an hour or two during the weekend. Go to the forest and move among the rocks and clear your mind from all your work.

Hi Dear David,the brazilian parkour community is very big.

 

davbelle David Belle

I have never been to Brazil but I want to visit : ))

Ubisss Urania Bathista

… Are we taking the name of Parkour with honor and responsibility ? What do you know about the Brazilians teams ? #LoveYa …=)

 

davbelle David Belle

I have heard good things about your groups, just like groups in Mexico. They are responsible and the know what Parkour is. They don’t just do whatever. They know what it is to move and be careful.

mrboxy271 Martyn

here’s my question :) where is your favourite place to train and why? :D

 

davbelle David Belle

My favorite place to train is the forest!! Amongst lots of trees and rocks : ))

GiordanoCherini Giordano Cherini

hello. I’m from a small town in Brazil, one day you thought parkour would be seen around the world?

 

davbelle David Belle

I didn’t think Parkour would grow the way it has. I didn’t think that so many people had need of it. I thought that Parkour was interesting, but I didn’t think it would be so to so many people.

Here’s a question, What does parkour mean to you?

 

davbelle David Belle

Parkour is a way for me to grab onto life.

jeanwainer Jean Wainer

David, is it you replying to the twits or is there someone in your behalf?

 

davbelle David Belle

When it is simple answers I do. And when they are more complicated answers I have a friend help me translate into English. But my answers are always from me. No one can think in my place for me.

sweet_meryl Meryl Swan

Sir i wanna do Parkour but there is no training centre around,i am a girl,my age is 22.what should i do?can i train myself alone?

 

davbelle David Belle

It’s better if you can find someone who has already done Parkour. Then they can teach you the base. After that you can train on your own. But to start it is very good to find someone to help you learn the base.

Carlitos_Gut Carlos Gutiérrez

What do you think about daniel ilabaca’s philosophy expresed in “choose not to fall” video?

 

davbelle David Belle

I have not seen the video, but I know what you are talking about. If it works for him, and if he really thinks that when he moves, then he has found his method of functioning. Today one of the reasons I am more quite today is because I don’t believe that my philosophy is meant for everyone. It’s more important to follow your own path than to follow someone else. Everyone has their way of doing things, and it doesn’t necessarily work for everyone else. So be careful of philosophy. Everyone is going to find a way to express the same thing. In 10 years there may be 30 different philosophies of Parkour. One could say, “Always grab on” for example as a new philosophy. But those philosophies don’t change what Parkour is. The fact that people find different ways of describing what works for them is good for them and doesn’t bother me at all.

Is it possible to learn Parkour at the age of 22?

 

davbelle David Belle

Yes of course : )

davbelle David Belle

Chrismovement Chris Zarkadoulas

I’l ask you a better question lol What advise would you give to a current practisioner of parkour?What do you think is important?

 

davbelle David Belle

To always be in a good energy. If you are tired or not in a good feeling then it’s not the best way to practice. Be strong in your mind and be ready and then it is more safe. Don’t ever lose the passion for Parkour : ) First learn to love what you do and then it will stay : )

What you can lift your mood and help you relax?

 

davbelle David Belle

I realize that we must be happy with what we have, because there are people who have nothing at all. It rains on the lives of everyone. So when it the weather is beautiful take advantage of it and enjoy life.
