What do you do in order to improve as traceurs?


Hristos: We improve from the feedback of the people in the website, because they ask us questions. There are things we had not thought of. Otherwise, we read a lot about how to practice, what techniques to use, in order not to get hurt, how to climb a wall..


How many people should practice together?


Hristos: In my opinion it is good to be two or three, otherwise the practice turns into a game and you cannot concentrate.


Is parkour an extreme sport?


Stefanos: Extreme sport aim to increase adrenalin. To feel the result of it on your body. The practice in parkour is not so tough.


Hristos: Because parkour is useful and extreme sports are not – for example bungee jumping.


Stefanos: The statement that parkour is an extreme sport, you would hear from some people, who want to deify it, to give qualities to it that it does not have, to say that it is more than it actually is.


What are the levels of difficulty?


Hristos: It depends on the person. You can be working in an office and to be happy that you can do few things and you can be a professional by practicing every day and to want to participate in movies and commercials. It depends how far you want to go.


Thank you and I wish you to become even better!
