I first found Parkour in the summer of 2006. It all started of with just a few friends who were in a team. The team called themselves Team furi, I was not really involved with the team but around September of that year me and my friends became involved with the local thearte group. They offered to take our photos as part of our team promotion "Corby freeflow." The idea at the time was to open up a gym for us and the locals.
We took out a grant for our new gym but due to insurance problems the gym never opened and then grant money was returned. Towards the end of 2007 most of my friends who I trained with quit Parkour and moved onto other stuff.
When I turned 16 and finished school I left my hometown and moved south to Weymouth. I met up with a group of guys in Bournemouth and even to this day I meet up on a weekly basis and use the gym.
