Dos entradas en un día y en unos pocos minutos, aunque no me lee nadie ni falta que hace hay que justificar un hecho tan inaudito. Visitando la página de Parkour Generations he visto un enlace hacia un reportaje fotográfico, he pinchado y además de encontrar una serie de fotos he encontrado una serie de citas de grandes traceurs, como me han gustado bastante he decidido ponerlas aquí junto con su correspondiente autor (vale si, es un copy-paste descarado).

Se encuentran en inglés, pero su sentido es bastante fácil de deducir con un mínimo conocimiento del idioma, y no quiero destrozarlas haciendo una traducción personal.

“One of the key philosophies of Parkour is être et durer, to be and to last. We want to be able to do this for a long time." James Gore, 20, from London, UK

"Parkour is a metaphor for life itself. In life, you come across many obstacles. If you go around the obstacles, you may lose your way, but if you use those obstacles to move you forward, as you do with Parkour, then you will become stronger.” Yao Gogoly, 28, from Paris, France

“You get the philosophy of Parkour through the training; there is absolutely no part you can slack on; it’s about constant repetition. The amateurs keep doing it until they get it right; the pros do it until they can’t get it wrong." Brian Appiah Obeng, 32, from Edmonton, UK

"It’s not about doing it nine times out of 10; it’s doing it 100 times out of a 100. Now I see spaces and structures in such a different light. It’s truly captivating.” Brian Appiah Obeng, 32, from Edmonton, UK

“There is always a difference between your mental and physical barrier. After training for so long, you are physically capable, but you have to think logically, and mentally overcome things to push the limits. Once you confront your fears, it sets you free." Andy Pearson, 29, from London, UK

"Parkour is a discipline, but when you start bringing in your own flair to the moves, it becomes an art.” Andy Pearson, 29, from London, UK
