[FLOW] http://youtu.be/J71FVR5p4jU
SUCH AMAZING FLOW! I found this little video posted on Revolution Parkour and it blows my mind. I have asked for a formal breakdown of all the videos presented but that will have to come over time. I love to see the beauty of constant movement. The ability to just...keep...going. There is something definitely to be said about how these athletes are able to move, jump, spin and flip their way to GLORY.
This video oddly enough reminded me of The Juggernaut! Its all about building up momentum until your an unstoppable force. Check out how GOOD these guys are at creating momentum and see this flow video below.

Parkulture and Tempest Free Running
[LINK] http://parkulture.com/2012/04/14/pk-spotlight-tempest-parkour-and-freerunning-takes-the-city-of-angels-by-storm/
At some point you will probably see Parkulture over on the http://parkourbad.com blog but for now, they hit the nail right on the head! Everyone has a Ying and a Yang and this article has some pretty GOOD Ying, if you know what I am talking about...maybe you don't.
QUOTE:
Somewhere in a city called Los Angeles, a group of traceurs and freerunners have taken their art form to a whole other level. With millions of views on Youtube, team Tempest is synonymous with Parkour and Freerunning in the USA. They might not like me saying that, but this team of excentric friends are the godfathers of Parkour and Freerunning in this country. They are also some of the nicest, most humble and funny people you will ever meet.
Tempest Freerunning has very much changed the art and sport of today. They have showed us new techniques, moves and buildings that no one would have though possible. They are innovators and you should definitely give your time to listen to what these guys have to say.
I for one I am most impressed with getting that many Traceurs in one room, to actually have the GOOD ambition and GOOD responsibility to undertake such a huge project. As many of you guys see in the community now, it's hard to get anyone motivated to get to training or try a side project, but to do something like this, truly takes a level of ambition and skill that I love to see.

Parkour Hotspots and Communities Project
This looks promising! To tell you the truth, I am not even exactly sure what it is, but guess what, its WORK.
Paul Leon Mederos is evidently trying to create something that will help communities come together and actually get a system wide map.
A couple other places where people are trying to do that.
Parkour Spot from Parkour Generations
American Parkour's Hotspot map
Run It (android app)
Go google those beasts and check those out as well, lets find something that really works for everyone! None of them are currently the best, but they are all trying to bring communities together. Even http://parkourfederation.org is trying to get one started over there! Find one...make it work. You decide whether its a GOOD idea or not.
