The Star;liberation in motion

sneak peak...

By IAN YEE

Our youths are scaling new heights with parkour, the discipline of overcoming obstacles using the mind and human body.

IMAGINE living in a bustling, congested city with tall buildings and constricting concrete everywhere you turn.

Then imagine rising above all that; having the ability to scale any sort of urban landscape, to overcome any obstacle the city throws at you, and to feel the liberation of breaking free from the claustrophobic spaces everyone else is restricted to.

It’s a liberation almost all of us crave. Hence our fascination with superheroes like Spider-Man; and the phenomenal spread of parkour.

A traceur is someone who practises parkour, a relatively new discipline that uses the human body to get from point A to point B in the most efficient manner possible.

Traceurs are able to move effortlessly from rooftop to rooftop, make death-defying jumps with perfect landings, scale seemingly impossible gaps and obstacles like walls, fences, and boulders – all with the raw athletic abilities of the human body.

They turn urban environments into huge obstacle courses for themselves to challenge the limits of their bodies, and the only catch is that the course has no safety measures.

In parkour, sheer concrete walls, multi-storeyed buildings, huge gaps and terrifying drops are just part of the racecourse.

For traceurs to overcome these obstacles, they have to become the ultimate human physical specimens – gymnasts, cross-country runners, rock-climbers, long-jumpers, and stuntmen, all in one.

Still, local traceurs Amir Hamzah, Mohd Qayyim Hafidzi and Muhammad Sabree, are willing to dedicate their time and energy to train for parkour. The trio have been practising parkour for between three and four years now, making them veterans in the local scene. Amir and Qayyim’s usual training ground is at a small park next to the Putra Mosque in Putrajaya. Sabree, who has his own parkour group in his hometown in Kuching, Sarawak, recently joined them.
