The rules of a road trip are simple:

1. Get a group of friends.

2. Go to a new/exotic location.

3. Have the time of your life.

4. Posting all footage on youtube, facebook, reddit, twitter etc

Parkour Generations have been posting a flickr album on what parkour people carry in their bags. In this blog, here’s my suggestion on what to include in your bag on a parkour road trip.

So you're training every chance you get and progressing rapidly.

"Wax on, right hand. Wax off, left hand. Wax on, wax off. Breathe in through nose, out the mouth. Wax on, wax off. Don't forget to breathe, very important."

We all do it, no matter our age, gender or nationality. It can change every second but often falls into a rhythm. It can be short, fast, long or slow. Some of us force it outwards or hold it back.

My breath was coming out in ragged bursts, my cheeks were burning and I could vaguely see the backs of the people ahead of me. Chippa was leading us on the daily morning run, a ritual that was repeated every morning at 7 sharp, in total silence starting from the Trace Facility.

On the third day, a lot faster, longer and no breaks. On the fourth, we ran along the railway tracks.
