A few weeks ago, Parkour Connections was invited to participate in AirFest 2011, the anniversary event for House of Air. House of Air is an indoor trampoline facility by Crissy Field in San Francisco. Their jumpers explore and push the limits of what the body can do - just like traceurs, but with a little more air time. So as a celebration of what they do, we brought our Mobile Parkour Park to Crissy Field and set up a huge setup to show them how the parkour world interprets freedom of movement. See even more photos on our Facebook page.
Tons of kids at AirFest 2011!
It was a great day in San Francisco with a clear view of the Golden Gate Bridge. AirFest had a great turnout of kids and adults in a family friendly atmosphere.

Throughout the course of the day we had several demos to showcase the amazing talents of the Bay Area parkour scene and the Parkour Connections demo team, as well as short workshops to give the audience a taste of what a parkour class entails. In between was a ton of interactive playtime where Parkour Connections volunteers supervised kids as they jumped, crawled, and climbed on the structures.

Special thanks to Andrey for choreographing the demos and superstar Brian "NoSole" Orosco for making a guest appearance! And of course we couldn't have done it without the help of volunteers from the SFParkour community.
