World in which we live can be characterized as «world-acceleration». This constant change of priorities and values, is continuing movement in the social, economic, political, spiritual, cultural and other spheres of human life. Acceleration is easy to notice in the external manifestations. For example, two and a half thousand years ago the ancient Greeks welcomed one another chant cheerful cries of «Rejoice» or «Hello!». These were the meanings of expression, bearing a specific desire, they are pronounced consciously, in the sense that he welcomed the sake of making their wishes. After 2500, thousands of years, it is now, we can observe only the mechanical «Hi» or «Zdarova». Our greetings to rapidly and completely lost its meaning. It does not carry anything valuable in itself, it is now just words that have become automatic. Also, the total acceleration can be seen on the example of creating a new kind of power «fast food», that in a literal translation from the English language means «fast food». The term adjusted to the acceleration of the world. Our food was transferred to the «eat and run more» or «eat and run». However, the phenomenon of acceleration evident in other spheres of life. This rhythm can be explained by anything: the struggle for survival or the desire for power. People hurry and hurry, they are moving faster than yourself, that is, faster than they can. In what sense is, you ask? The fact that people manage to fly to the moon and come closer to the secrets of the early universe, not once plainly with himself. His inner world is at a lower level than the level of technological development. For the evolution of our consciousness of the development of technology has far too quickly. In addition, it suppresses the development of the spiritual. The core of its mass, the level of development of consciousness, human beings can be called basic. The technology also is at a much higher level. The developed technology, created and realized, note the scientists, not people in general, destroy the need for spirituality and inner searching.
But what, the same place in the «world-acceleration» took Parkour? In the title of the article, you can see the floor reflection - a concept which refers to treatment on the subject himself, to his knowledge or to their own state, but in this context the word precisely express as «effective self». So, on the basis of the above reasons, as well as a speculative look at the world, we can conclude that Parkour is, how would the world reaction to his constant acceleration. In this sense, Parkour course, it does not appear then, two and a half thousand years ago, his appearance had at this time, it follows that it has become necessary and was not simply invented or coined a couple of people who - some all the same, sooner or later would open up an art of body and spirit. Therefore, you need to understand what Parkour is a more complex exercise than it seems at first glance. This is not just physical training, only to improve the bodily condition. Parkur able to help people learn to live in an accelerated world. This applies not only to the perceived ability of a rapid and efficient movement, which, of course, develops Parkour, but also to new opportunities thinking.
Consciousness tracer different from human consciousness is not familiar with Parkour because tracer should have accelerated consciousness, that is, thinking in movement. All the mental processes of «an expedited motion» pass differently than in the normal traffic. To cite an example (in order to better understand it): try to focus on certain thoughts, while constantly moving, and overcoming various obstacles. I guess it does not show you an easy task because the human mind is not accustomed to such a mode of existence, koim lives tracer. Developing ability to think acceleration is not just important but essential to modern homo sapiens. Parkur in this sense, a great assistant, dealing with them, you can develop this ability to fast-track way of thinking, learn to keep pace with the speed of the world. This skill comes in and develops long-term training, it is speculative, but realistic.
As already noted above - Parkour can be understood as a reaction to the world its own accelerating development. And tracer here - a person who speaks it the ability to understand and be able to accelerate [its] use, is not yielding its negative impact. If you want to understand - should reflect. That is to include their thinking, their logic. Do not be afraid do not know - do not be afraid to want to know.
In this article I would like to draw attention to the fact that Parkour is able to help people develop their level of consciousness, thought and reason as a whole. Though it is difficult for a task that requires enormous labor and constant creative self, but other cultures, conceived in the street, or any extreme sports, about the same age Parkour or younger have the internal capabilities? I think not. In the main feature Parkour - it is not just a new one about the time he was new as a phenomenon that can change people for the better not only physically but also spiritually.
At this time, some individual tracermi from various countries, together with psychologists, physicians and philosophers prepares work whose main objective is to show that Parkour skills can be developed not only through physical training, but also with the help of thinking of the mind. Result of work will be submitted by late summer 2009. Try to publish them on this site.
Let me remind you of what the movie:In the earlier part of the police captain Damien paired with a resident of neighborhood cats, representing the interests of other slum dwellers, do not give the Government to wipe the area with the face of the earth. The film ends on what the government promises to tear down the wall separating the block of civilization, to ensure people's jobs and decent lives.13 quarter. Two years later. The wall that separates disadvantaged areas from the rest of Paris, as was well worth it. Some people are satisfied with the provocation - in the middle of the night quarter-blank shot two police officers. The government has once again taken the decision - to stop this chaos and destruction of the quarter. Police Captain Damien in the monkey put on a false charge of drug trafficking. Realizing that «their» do not have to wait for justice, the captain appealed for help to his old friend cats. Now they are once again unite their efforts to save Paris from chaos. In the process of the heroes of its own investigation it becomes clear that the idea to wipe off the quarter - a consequence of mercantile interests of big construction corporation. The murder of two policemen in the neighborhood - it is their hands cause. As in the first part of the audience waiting chase, shooting, stuntman`s tricks and fictional battles.Information Leopolis

Special Friday and draft Dashi Sarkisian journalist and photographer Ksenia Kolesnikova "Subcultures-fresh» about ten representatives of the latest trends - unlike, strange, but quite convincing. Industrialschiki, fashion, nyuskul emo, emo oldskul, steal, fashion-hop, hipsters, and fruts chavy. The hero of the second series - Alex tracer.
Alex Chigretsky, 21, a student MPGU, project manager ParkourCreation:
- Parkour - the art of rational move. This ability to instantly assess the situation. This is to overcome its borders, not only in training but also in life. Each lesson - it is self-improvement, both physical and moral.
I can not say exactly why parkour has appeared just now. In my opinion, in the 1970's, for example, the main thing that agitate the minds - music. In the late 1990's and now? Sports, Youth and extreme. And parkour just turned on the wave. He became more popular and because of the fact that here no matter how much you earn: we do not need expensive equipment or machinery. In the community of tracers can be 13-year-old boy, who grew up in a poor area, and 30-year-old businessman, who has several million euros in a Swiss bank. They will communicate on equal terms. Moreover, they will be part of one team, and it is quite possible that the teenager will train 30-year-old uncle.
Parkour - a team discipline. Virtually any tracer is in a group of like-minded, and only a few prefer to do and exist separately from the rest. Often the tracers out of training and more friends, so often walk together, go to concerts and cinema.
Women in parkour - a relatively rare phenomenon, but they are. Most of them are involved in parkour as a sort of fitness, to maintain shape. Only those classes much more interesting and varied than in conventional gyms. There are girls who are passionate about parkour seriously, regularly trained and have good skills, but to meet a real girl-tracer is practically impossible.
One of the main rules of Parkour: to be strong to be useful. Need a firm, unshakable belief that all team members come to help in any situation. Tracers can be useful for society as a whole. Now the ideal image of the person involved in parkour - free is a romantic, a kind of Robin Hood, for which there are no borders and movement, and in everyday affairs, which is free, but at the same time, sensitive and willing to help. Such values of Parkour - from its founder, David Belle, whose father was a fireman and had a lot of awards for his exploits in the rescue operations.
But not only is influenced by the principles of parkour. "The Art of rational move, many borrowed from the" natural method ", developed by a French naval officer, George Herbert. He traveled the world, and being delighted with the plastics and skills of movement of an African tribe, has developed a "natural method", based on rock-climbing, running, coordination, weight lifting, swimming and jumping.
Subculture tracers appeared slightly later than the emergence of the parkour. In 1997, David Bell first appeared on French television screens in a small fragment of reportage. The founder of parkour talked about his "invention", and also demonstrated it in practice. This had the effect of the bomb. Parkour was first known in Europe and then worldwide. At that time, David Belle, Sebastien Foucan and their friends founded the first team under the name "Ямакаси", which translated from one of the languages of the Congo means "strong in body and spirit." Hard to say, would be parkour is, if Belle and Foucan did not come up with. But certainly something like this would arise, because this is a great output of energy and is very "catchy" hobby. In addition, a Jackie Chan, and parkour, perhaps, could appear on his movements.
We can assume that in Russia began with the opening parkour website team The Tracers (October 1, 2002). Media contributed to that very quickly caught on, the term "parkurschiki, although tracers did not recognize until now. Because movies about parkour, and the boom in the press on the mass of teenagers poured into the streets, trying to perform without preparation items you want to train for months. Increase in the number of injuries, can often be faced with bullying by such psevdotreyserov. Therefore, by 2007, many who thought that Parkour is related to vandalism and a stupid waste of time. But these tracers never write or paint on the walls. Among those involved in parkour seriously taken to respect others' property. They also do not drink or smoke during training. And rarely have bad habits.
Most tracers can be found in the subway station Prospekt Vernadskogo "," Chertanovskaya, ALEKSEEVSK, "Kon'kovo", "Sparrow Hills" and "Frunzenskaya. But in other parts of tracers also train - where there is no marble, tile: for our classes is very poor coverage.
In parkour there is no list of compulsory movements, such as in the gym. When the tracer is running and before him there is an obstacle, he overcomes his motion so that the most effective in this situation and most of all right for this tracer (in the structure of the body of endurance physical training). Parkour teaches reasonably respond to the difficulties encountered, adequately themselves and their level of physical development. The body should progress smoothly. The idea is to constantly work on quality, rather than on force.
Clothes should contribute to this maximum, to be comfortable, and the label is totally unimportant. Tracers prefer costumes from natural fabrics, not bolonevye. Trousers should be very free, so they were easy to jump. This habit extends to everyday clothing. All this can be bought in any store. My pants, for example, "Decathlon". Someone buys Reebok or Nike, but there they are quite expensive, sorry to spoil them in training. And because we're falling, smearing, we can catch up on something. In the summer we sometimes train in shorts.
Tracers are often robes with a hood, because it's convenient. Especially if during training the rain. When it was 5, has to wear a hat: in the process of sweating head loses a lot of moisture, and to engage in such a temperature is definitely cold.
Backpack should not hinder the passage of the route, so it is usually flat, no extra pockets, locks and laces. It put only the most necessary things: money, phone, travel by subway and keys. Find a backpack is not easy, but if you search, then almost every known brands you find the correct model. Mine, for example, the company New Balance.
Sneakers we wear the usual cross-country: they better start from the walls, jump, climb and, of course, to run. Some tracers deal of fighting in sneakers or bare feet. Most democratic model for the price of sneakers manufactured by Kalenji. They cost only 500 rubles, and can hold about three months.
Each tracer as a bright personality, likely will have its own chip feature. We love interesting hairstyles. This can be dreadlocks or pigtail. Tracers are creative people often make videos of Parkour. Usually the elements are removed from multiple takes. Keep up with tracers, to film the passage of the entire course, the outsider could not. Exit - this portable camera, like me. It is available through Actioncams.ru, for example. Designed specifically for athletes. A recording device I put in a backpack. Interesting moments sometimes spread on YouTube.com. Passage route usually takes 4-5 minutes, which consume more power than the dimensions of a two-hour workout.
Most movies are accompanied by some dynamic music, the choice depends on the editor. If you share a very rude, cutting off individual tastes in music hobbies tracers can be divided into three areas, two of which relate to the protest, freedom (rap and punk), and one - with adrenaline (electronic music). Sometimes tracers train with the player. But when, for example, is set to jump, and track changes, it knocks - and in parkour everything should be in harmony, it's more than the ability to move correctly.
