I took this photo on a Sony Ericsson K800i, back when I used to train Parkour a few times a week.
The model of that phone probably gives you a clue as to how long ago that was 😝

It was taken in Newcastle Upon Tyne and the Baltic modern art gallery can be seen in the background. Athlete unknown.

This is my entry for Your City Vibes photocontest run by @vladikras

This week's theme is
"Sport (don't forget the urban atmosphere)"
So I think this fits perfectly.😁

I used to love Parkour and have been wanting to get back into it for some time.
I love the stoic nature of taking on and overcoming obstacles and like to take that philosophy and reapply it to other aspects of life.

Nice Pic! That is an extreme sport, just by the view of the pic I'm shaking. Im a little scared of hights :(! Thanks for sharing @spidersprog! Cheers from Mexico!

Thanks.
It doesn't have to be extreme.
The fundamentals are learned at ground level.
Everyone thinks of rooftops when they hear Parkour, but in reality it can be done anywhere.

It's all about overcoming obstacles with efficiency an flow.

True! It all comes down to discipline in any goal to achive! Thanks again amigo for those wise words! Cheers!
