I have been planing to get into Parkour for a while now, only problem being time and lack of friends who share the same desire.

Up until now I have been watching a lot of amazing videos and have been training in the small ways that I can.  I have been practising holding myself vertically on rails and performing vertical pushups.  I have also been attempting to learn to do flips forwards and backwards.  The thing I really need is some good parkour friends!  Its so annoying when I walk to pick my stepson up from school, and I see loads of great opportunities to jump on and off of things, but I would just look like a complete tit doing that on my own when other parents are about!

I plan to attend the Hub festival in Otterspool, Liverpool which takes place on the 14th and 15th of July, they will be hosting some example parkour so that should be cool.

For those not in the know about this sport, I advise searching youtube for some great videos.
