Today is David Belle’s birthday (Happy 33rd David!) and for various reasons to be explained below, ED-PK and a whole host of other parkour websites/forums have closed down for the day… Parkour Day. 
This initiative was spearheaded by Project Parkour and here is what they have to say about the event.
To all Traceurs out there – today is the Birthday of Parkours Inventor David
Belle, and we – the project Parkour – together with your internet community,
thought its a nice idea that to celebrate this day, we should all get off the
computers and go: TRAINING!David Belle liked this Idea, here is a message personally from him for each one
of you:“Hi to all tracers, today is my birthday and I’d really like to know that
you’re outside instead of chating. Does this sound a big challenge for you ?
Let’s go outside, sure you’ll progress more than talking about parkour.Bye
DB “
This day is not only a celebration of Davids birthday, its also a demonstration
so that many that are on the internet very much will realize how much spare time
(wich could be used for example for training!) they have if they arent
constantly surfing the forums.We hope you enjoy this day of training and wish you all a great progression and
that this inspires you and your training, and of course HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID
BELLE!!!
In the light of recent workshops held here in Edinburgh there are loads of new people interested in immersing themselves into the parkour and since today is such an ideal day for it, we’ve organised a huge jam for everyone to get out onto the streets and get training! Since the forums are closed for today, the details aren’t accessible… 12 noon at Bristo Square. Folks will be around Bristo from 11am so feel free to head out a little sooner!
So, to everyone in the Edinburgh Parkour community and those visiting us from further afield — enjoy the day and get out there! Godspeed.
