PARKOUR

FORMAT: EXPRESSION & SUPERVISED SESSIONS

It took the crazy Frenchmen to come up with this doozy – Parkour is the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle by adapting your movements to your surrounds. Sounds nice in theory, but it's a whole different story in practice... best way to describe these guys are Hollywood stuntmen without a "Plan B" if it all goes wrong.

A purpose built scaff structure ixed with New holland machinery in the centre of the festival will play home to 5 traceurs expressing themselves through physical movement of the extreme variety. It will be intensity in ten cities.

I’m sure these guys must have tried flying off their parent’s garage roof when growing up, although it may have failed back then – they seem to be getting it right now.

And for those amongst us a little more daring – there will be some training available in basic parkour techniques. Who knows we may even unearth the next Sebastian Foucan. (updated 18 Jan 2012)
