CBC News Report - Parkour Toronto (part 2 of 2)

CBC News Report - Parkour Toronto (part 2 of 2) Video Clips. 6.15 Mins.




CBC had admitted to me, they came into this story with the angle of covering an extreme sport, a dangerous sport, and a sport that they couldn't see going very far. They were expecting me to show up and just go huge for them, show off for the camera, and pack my bags up at the end. But after spending some time with them they changed their opinions pretty fast. They came out to train, came out to the community center, came out to our big jam. They soon learned that what we do is in fact the opposite of what they were going to report about. I and others weren't going to show off for them, and this community certainly was a lot different then they expected. Thanks again to CBC for coming out and learning more about Parkour and portraying it a non glamorized, non extreme, non competitive way.
