Parkour, or “Free Running,” is basically the sport of being Spiderman/Batman. Jumping along rooftops, etc.
A Free Running enthusiast is called a traceur.I shamelessly ripped off this site’s link page, in the event it goes down, and so I mirror it below.

| http://parkouruk.proboards24.com | The UK Parkour Association Message Board A message board designed purely for the discussion of parkour technique and for getting in touch with other traceurs. Occasionally there may also be a topical discussion taking place. This is the official forum of The UK Parkour Association. |
| www.screwgravity.com | The ‘Screw Gravity’ Message Board The message board of Devon’s Levity group and their ‘Screw Gravity’ parkour website. A sensible and user-friendly message board with some interesting discussions usually taking place. Does require registration to view some parts of the forums. |

| www.screwgravity.com www.leparkour.net | ScrewGravity.com / LeParkour.net A very nicely designed and comprehensive new parkour site. Not incredibly easy to navigate but that’s about the only bad thing I can find to say about it. It’s got some good tutorials, galleries, information etc. and if it carries on the way it’s started it looks set to be a top place to visit. It’s designed and operated by the Levity group – well done lads! |
| www.le-parkour.com | le-parkour.com Bi-lingual French / English site. Plenty of ‘stuff’. This is the site of David Belle, the creator of le parkour. Naturally better if you’re French but some excellent videos and the like. Some pop-up adverts. |
| www.parkour.com | parkour.com: the ‘official’ site of parkour ‘Official’ in-so-much as it’s the site of Sebastien Foucan – one of the co-founders of the sport with David Belle. Bi-lingual French and English with plenty of information (particularly on the philosophy angle) and resources (videos etc) on the site. Unfortunately the entire site is in ‘Flash’ and takes a while to load; it also sprouts a nasty full page pop-up and then another smaller one. It’s listed here because as it’s Sebastien’s site you ‘ought’ to visit it. |
| www.parkour.fsnet.co.uk | The Site of the Hastings Traceurs A small but frequently updated and easy-to-use site from the Hastings lads. Some good little videos. |
| www.as-we-fall.tk | ‘The Official Site of the Nailsworth Parkour Clan’ Levster’s put together this nice simple, clean site with member bios, and sections for photos and videos – take a look. Some pop-ups. |
| www.parkcore.net | parkcore.net An american parkour site. Quite a bit of stuff; galleries, videos, clan information etc. Pretty easy to find your way round and a good starting point for traceurs in the US. |
| www.pk4life.com | PK4Life.com The PK website of Mike ‘Iconscious’ Cupcake, PK DJ extraordinaire and also the man behind www.iconscious.co.uk. Site currently in development. |
| www.kiell.com | The Photography Website of ‘Kiell’ Kiell (Andrew Day) is one of parkour’s most innovative photographers. Working largely in black and white and using a ‘real’ camera (not digital), his work has been featured in several publications. The website features an impressive portfolio of work. |
| www.tricksutorials.com | Tricks Tutorials Not a parkour site as such but a handy resource all the same. A nicely made site if a little tricky to find stuff in. A few tutorials (though it seems less than there were, following a revamp) and videos and the like. The bloke who runs it is a bit of a fruitcake (in the nicest possible way). |
| www.housegymnastics.com | House Gymnastics Not a parkour site but good fun! Take a look, the name says it all really. To save you hunting, the way in is through the tiny ‘enter’ in the top right hand corner of the home page. |
| www.parkour.org.uk | UK Parkour Association You’re already here! But make sure you don’t forget us! |
