Parkour Pilgrimage (Full)

This video is not of my making. I just thought it would be good to have the entire documentary on YouTube in one video instead of broken up into 10 or so parts. Hope no one minds.

'Project Pilgrimage' is a 2008 documentary following Duncan's journey with many other traceurs. to and around Lisses, the birthplace of Parkour.
---------------------------------------------
A Message From Duncan

"This is a full-length documentary about Lisses - the birthplace of parkour - and about parkour itself. It contains footage of over a hundred and fifty traceurs, and was shown to David Belle for approval before release.

It is important that everyone understand ... this is not just a "parkour video." It's not just a bigger and better sampler. It is different, and it deserves a different kind of attention.

Please try to watch it all in one sitting if you can ... set aside enough time to see the whole thing. Watch it with friends, talk it over ... and then let me know what you think. I spent over a thousand work hours making this, and I care very deeply about it, and I am eager to know what you think."

Duncan is an American Traceur from Burlington, North Carolina.

Here is an interview with him from WorldWide Jam: http://www.worldwidejam.tv/Pilgrimage/pilgrimage.parkour.1.html

@themanofearth cool.im going to do swimming on my days off from training. so to relax the muscles but still exercise. that crossfit looks more dangerous than parkour.lol.all that swinging about with weights looks hardcore.lol.bet it gets you fit quick though.im going to keep doing jogging and general conditioning aswell as parkour itself.im giving up smoking to if i can.probably make it all a lot easier.again thanks for your help buddy.

[themanofearth]

@TheBarryNoVa You sound like you're taking it slow so I don't see any reason why you shouldn't. But like I said, if I were you I'd supplement parkour with other things that will increase muscle strength, bone density and joint mobility. Weight bearing exercise is going to be particularly important. You should be able to find training videos all over the place and I'd recommend urbanevolution tutorial videos for learning exercised and drills to improve.

@themanofearth also il check out that crossfit. cheers for the heads up and advice.

[TheBarryNoVa]

@TheBarryNoVa thanks for replying btw.

@TheBarryNoVa since then. been unemployed for a bit though so been sitting about for a couple years sleeping in bad patterns and not exercising. so theres the whole out of shape thing. the football team sucked ass so i left that, plus i was pushing myself to hard on the pitch. got a few chest pains so stopped that. i want to do parkour because its on my terms to learn and improve and the only pushing is from me. if im not ready, i wont try it. you think its possible given my age and condition?

[TheBarryNoVa]

@themanofearth great advice there. dont worry im taking it slow.lol.turtle speed to be honest. i used to skate years ago and when i started that i was pretty heavy and that took its tool to begin with. my nephew has done a fair bit of parkour but football got in the way and now he wants to get back to it, so im doing it with somebody with experience. i wiegh around 230 last time i was weighed. had a health check a year or so back coz i started football and got all clear and aint much changed...
