Photo journal: The Parkour way of life

Parkour practitioners, or traceurs, often describe the sport as an art-form or philosophy.

“Parkour is a way of life. Someone who doesn’t practise Parkour will never understand the philosophy. You can’t sit and think – you have to move, let yourself go free, learn how to be creative; that’s when you start to understand.

"Through practise comes freedom. You start to calculate distances and foot and hand placements without even thinking."
