Parkour is a massive part of my life, it’s
let me travel around the world and from that
I get to meet new people around the world
and I think that the community is the biggest
thing that I’ve always liked about it.
Everyone here know each other, everyone here’s
known each other for at least six years, so
everyone just comes back together and gets
on. You’ve got people in the room now from
Singapore, from Japan from all over Australia,
Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, just everywhere.
My dad got me into parkour. He showed me this
video online, on Instagram and from there
we progressed and kept on looking.
The really big part I enjoy is meeting people
all over the world.
Of course I love to do  parkour but also love to do parkour with friends and with other people.
Pretty much you can meet up with anyone doing
parkour. It’s almost like a team cohesion
of sorts. The community itself is so uplifting
and really encouraging.
I got a massive social circle out of it as
well so most of my friends are either into
parkour or have done it, or filming and so
from that I kind of get my social needs as
well as then all of my parkour stuff.
The biggest misconception out there when it
comes to parkour is that it’s about being
a daredevil, it’s about taking risks, it’s
about this, that and the other, it’s about
being an adrenaline junkie and that’s basically
the complete opposite of what the truth is.
I have a brother that plays rugby and he’s just had his knees done, his back,
and he’s a couple of years younger than me
and I’ve never had anything that’s set me back.  So the kind of danger bit is massively thrown off.
Parkour’s about hanging out with your mates.
You’re doing physical stuff as well but the people who come to train in the gym and
and the people who train outside that is like maybe half of it.
The other half you’re sitting around, you’re hanging around,
you’re going to different spots to get a bite to eat, you’re training and having a laugh.
And you’ll have people who’ll go all over the world with parkour.
It’s such a small tightly knit community across the world,
that you’re guaranteed a place to stay, you’re guaranteed food, you’re guaranteed everything.
