A year later
Written by Manic Velocity, January 5th, 2008
About a year ago, I took a leave from parkour to focus on another project. Early this morning, I took the dive back in. The one thing I learned is that you should not dive back into parkour after having been away for a year. I’ve decided to just sleep in my computer chair tonight, because I can’t bring my legs to support my weight in order to climb into bed.
But it was a great time. I regret being away for so long. It was great to meet some of the new people, as well as to see some old faces. My new year resolution to attend more jams officially started today, and I plan to keep at it.
It was also very interesting returning to “noob” status. Parkour is not like riding a bike, and despite being with SLCPK since it began I suddenly realized what all the newcomers felt like at their first jam. So many unfamiliar faces, and watching everybody perform some crazy techniques. It was a humbling experience.

Site changes
Written by Manic Velocity, December 30th, 2007Say hello to the new SLCPK. I think this will be the 4th revision it’s gone under, and it most likely won’t be the last. A lot of new things are in place, and some old stuff has simply been upgraded. An entirely new photo gallery has been installed, and the long forgotten videos section is making a triumphant return!
Ronnie and Higgie have signed on as writers, so they will help with contributing more frequent updates.
Take a look around, and enjoy!

Happy Birthday SLCPK!
Written by Manic Velocity, August 31st, 2007SLCPK began as an experiment on August 31st, 2004. The experiment was to see if a parkour community could develop and grow in our beloved state of Utah. A very rudimentary website was put together, a few photos were posted, and an extremely amateur video was made.
After a few short months, a discovery was made: A parkour community already existed in Utah. People all over the state have been practicing and training for years! SLCPK was simply a means to an end. To bring everyone together.

Introducing Team StreetStunts
Written by Manic Velocity, July 1st, 2007Actually, this introduction is a bit late due to my extreme laziness. Team StreetStunts started off as a side project, headed by ddog, to organize a group of local traceurs interested in focusing strongly on tricking and stunt work.
EDIT: The team’s website is experiencing some temporary down-time at the moment. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Written by Manic Velocity, May 20th, 2007Saturday’s jam was originally intended to let newcomers to parkour get their feet wet. Oddly enough, there were no new faces. Hopefully next time we’ll see all you “newbies” show up, eager to learn. :)Â

Forum Account Problems
Written by Manic Velocity, May 18th, 2007Ever since our story aired on Fox, we’ve had a flood of new people registering accounts on our forums.
For the past few months, certain measures have been taken to ensure that the forums stay clean of spam bots. These are programs that roam the internet registering accounts on forums, message boards, and blogs, and then use these accounts to post messages directing real users to websites containing illegal software and spyware.
