You're all welcome to come and share your experience. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

This Thursday the Channel 10 program State Focus will be taking footage of this training session for a program they're doing on Townsville Parkour. It'd be great to have heaps of people there so lets all get there and bring as many people as we can find.

If you're under 18 I need to get some media consent forms signed by a parent or guardian and you can email me to figure out the best way to do that... david.kettle@lccq.org.au

Cheers,

Dave.

Awesome Stuff Dave ! ! !

I can't believe we have the media on our side, that's going to open up so many opportunity's for people around Townsville & whoever else see it


Is this going to be like a documentary or just like a quick thing showing what local guys are doing ?

None the less I'll be there to help out & hopefully Leo will be there as well

Looking forward to seeing most of you there & lets show these guys how we train !

It'll be a quick look at how we're doing the right thing with Parkour and the benefits it brings... bring as many people as you can, and spread the word far and wide man. Lets make this BIG!!

I'm interested in coming to one of the courses, is there a minimum age?
I'm 12 (well nearly).

Hey Physis, we cater primarily to 10-17 year olds. Can't wait to meet you, just come and say hi (I'm Dave).

yeh thnxs.
I'll try to arrange something.
cheers

is this 4 beginners as well?

Yes anyone can come, besides 'that guy'
lol don't worry about him tho, he's been banned from tsv parkour for 10years !

Cool, and, where is Warrina Park? I might have enough time to come 3 times before we go on holidays.

I also saw the Friday night thing, is that for beginners as well? There might be a few spots close to where I live...

this is a bit off topic but who is "that guy" wh is he banned?

That guy is "Red" ( john.h ) and he was banished cus the whole time he was running around acting like he was running the show ( even tho he didn't do fuk-all ) jumping off 'whatever he wanted' not caring about anything.

one day we were pulled over by police and he took off running, i took off as well. I told him i was getting a bit ticked-off about the way he was doing things ( not just these many many many small problems aswell ) and he laughed and took off home, at this point i was that pissed but decided to head home and deal with him another day.
( i know running from the cops was a bad thing, especially when i could of just spent 5mins talking to em explaining what we do & how we do it, it was just an instinct )

A few days after that he was cracking up that he wasn't 'classed' as an admin, I told him we would finish the rest of the site then talk about it. Next thing i know he has somehow got my main site account, logged-in and decided to make himself an admin.

This is where i really lost the plot as i''ve been told by a very good mate of mine not to give him admin rights as he has deleted a whole website before. Me being as pissed off as i was probably used the wrong words at the time witch just provoked him even more.
Long story short we had a bit of a blue and i told him i didn't want him being apart of this community.

Some people just have no idea (shakes head) not to sure if he still lives in the vill so if your reading this give s a bell.

oh and friday night ?

Dave runs Thursday night sessions & as stated before there for all ages but mainly targeting 10-17yo's
