Residents Reeling as Freerunners Vault into Town

Goes to show you never really know what the video is about until you read up a bit about the video.  Linked below is an article about those dang free running/parkour nuisances.

Funny enough, that is the strongest word that they even use in the article.  It points out one predominant Traceurs that a local or even several locals are trying to get rid of or have him stop training in their town and local spots.  Although the story is vague the stroy specifically points out one Traceur, Slava P.  The vague comes when refering specifically to Slava or other Traceurs around the town.

They site specifically claims of asking these guys to leave and they continue to come back.  This is kind of a unwritten Parkour Code I would say.  If people ask you to not train there anymore then by all means don't tell them "See you tomorrow."  In the article one citizen went as far as calling the police on them.

Evidently these guys have a BAD respect for the citizens in their own town.  I feel this to be BAD for the community and I continue to see BAD articles like this popping up all the time about Traceurs who are just plain not respecting the town, environment or people.
