Essex Traceur

[Morvo]

Hi all

Im from the UK, Chelmsford, Essex. Me and 4 of my mates have been Free running for 8 to 9 months now and we aint that bad at it. despite some injurys such as hands being sliced open and knees swelling up its been really fun.

Our team consists of the following 5 people, the names shown are there internet names by the way:

-Ace
-Pyro
-J
-Morvo
-Bodge

At the moment we practice in a megazone arena which is the same as quazer but just a different company. the arena is huge and has perfect spots for us to try jumps, runs, wall runs, landings etc. we havnt really met any other Pk'ers since we started and would jump at the opotunity to, so if there are any events in europe or america please email us at free_runners(at)hotmail.com.

it would have to be quite a majour event if we are to come all the way to america by the way lol, we aint showing up just to meet 2 people. or if there are any people close by who want to hang out then we would be glad to.

we have made some videos of what we done so far so if you would like to see them then send us a mail or reply to this.

thats about it, thanx for your time and i hope to meet some of you very soon.

cheers

Well, Pyro one day said you can climb around the megazone arena without touching the floor, so we thought....what the hell, he showed us, so then we had a go. we started to climb to higher points and a lot quicker. he then showed us some downloaded videos of pkers, so we learnt to wall run and tic tac.

we really stayed at that level for some time, then luke tronbone saw us tic tacing and wall running out the back. he came over quite drunk at the time lol and said he is a moderater of the urban free flow site and showed us some various vaults. he took us up london the next day and well.....we was amazed, we went to waterloo and saw some amazing stuff. so we have started to practise more, we now can do a range of vaults and other little moves, pyro and bodge can percition jump rail to rail now, and well i just bang my shins lol. but im learning.

so thats how we started and we prgress every day, as every day we are practising some form of Free running from climbing to vaults.

and thats how we started

I'd much luv to visit the U.K., but I'm stuck in the U.S. I'm just learning, but if I get good and get a group goin, I'll be sure to let you know!

[Morvo]

this post is 2 years old and the chelmsford guys rarely come on here. try cm2-4pk. com.and they train IN the megazone cos one of them works there.

not any more they dnt gav

[Ronin-ukpka admin]

well to be honest i wouldnt know anymore. i dont think the chelmsford boys, spikes in particular, know what parkour really is. they are too interested in making money from parkour than actually embracing it as something more than a fad. plus the general feel i get from them is that they think they are better than others when they most definately are not.
my advice would be to train on your own. it will benefit you more in the long term.
