Submitted by admin on Mon, 2012-02-13 15:34

One of our latest little projects that has been under development for a while now is the Parkour Generations training locations hotspot map. We've added many of the popular locations within London but have also included images to all of the spots too. We feel that the photos really help show what training you can do at the spots and what to actually look for.

Check out the new hotspot map here: HOTSPOT MAP

Submitted by admin on Mon, 2012-02-13 12:36

For the last few weeks the Parkour Generations team have been replenishing the photo archive with up-to-date action and profile pictures. We were seriously lacking in photos to use from many of the new members of the team so therefore invited some very talented photographers to have six full days of shoots.

We would like to say a big thank you to Ben Curwen, Ramesh Sur, Brian Appiah Obeng, Millie Robson and Andy Pearson for the awesome photos they took and the time, effort and organisation that went into each of the days.
