For everyone who couldn’t make it out to NY last week for PKGen’s visit…you missed out big time! Dan Edwardes, Stephane Vigroux, Chris Keighley, and Julie Angel came over from the UK for an open training day in Central Park. Over 80 traceurs showed from all over the US and Canada, Ohio drove up a van full of 10 guys, Ottawa made a showing, and I flew all the way from Seattle to be there.

I’m seeing a bit of a traffic spike from the news coverage on KOMO so I just wanted to say hello! This is my personal/professional blog where I write about my experiences and insights about parkour and chronolog my various stunt trips. Feel free to explore around, and check out the articles and videos. I’m on a bit of a blogging break right now working on a few websites and DVDs, but things will be picking up again around March with the possibility of two parkour tours and another commercial. To be updated when that stuff starts happening you can either subscribe to my feed, or receive emails when I update.
If you are interested in getting into parkour (which you totally should), my suggestion would be to check out the great community we’ve built over at http://washingtonparkour.com and introduce yourself in the forums. There you can find people to train with, and browse all the different resources we’ve made available.
If you are interested more in learning through classes, we’re working on it! The group shown in the broadcast was from a volunteer class I run through the Puget Sound Community School, which is an amazing independent highschool that has embraced parkour as a great activity for their students’ development. The only other classes currently running are the monthly gym jams through gymnasiums in Auburn and Bellingham (we rent out the place for 3 hours and teach parkour workshops). More classes are on their way through the work of the Pacific Northwest Parkour Association, a nonprofit corporation set up to get this stuff out there in the best possible way.
If you’re here just to see more crazy parkour stuff, then that’s ok too. I got a new video -here- and will have a lot more coming thanks to Underscore Films.
Oh and my last name (Cecka) is not pronounced seeka, it’s “checka”. My family is just nuts and doesn’t like “h”s. -Tyson Cecka
