Interesting article. And he's got it in one here "...do we want to make this better? Or do we want top sit back and risk (marketers) developing the art we love so much?"

If he's that dedicated to the sport, then he did what he had to do.

haha.. thats me.

Its weird as ive done so many articles now (37 accross canada/usa) .. but this is the first one where ALOT of people have taken notice its actually me.

I just got back from touring the states with David Belle (founder of Parkour, the one in all those crazy videos) and I have messages from old girlfriends, teachers, etc all wanting to talk to me.

Weird s***.

But I do enjoy this article.. She wanted to take a different approach/angle and I was allll for it.
Dan, Your friendly neighbourhood asshole. Wink
I do installs and build FG stuff, pm me if you need help with anything. Im cheap.
