Welcome!

It's interesting that there are so many traceurs around who hadn't joined the group yet - I wonder how many more there are in Aberdeen who haven't tried googling "aberdeen parkour" lol

Well as far as clothes, you just want stuff that is flexible so it doesn't restrict your movement, like joggers and a t-shirt. Also make sure the stuff isn't too baggy in case it catches on something, so it's slightly better to get joggers with elastic around the ankles (but I haven't seen any of those in the shops I've been to so far).

As for shoes, have a look here: [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register]

I've bought both Waterpros and Feiyues (as well as some other cheap shoes to try out like ones from Primark). I find the Feiyues really grippy even in the wet for doing normal jumps (though my climbups still suck lol, so it's my technique rather than my shoes that are the problem there), and they were really cheap. They don't do much shock absorbing so they're good for learning to land correctly instead of relying on your shoes to take impacts. Haven't had a chance to try out my Waterpros yet - think I'll leave them until I can do climbups otherwise they'll just get wrecked really quickly

Hey Ryan,

Welcome to the forums. It's always good having new people joining.

Tell us a little about yourself. How old are you? What do you do? What got you into parkour?

Oh and in relation to Ali's post ;

Step right up, step right up. Wonderful deals for all, Cheap as Chips!

Hehe, I have a pair of feyiues that I bought that are to small for me. I wore them out for 15mins to try them but couldn't send them back because they you could see from the soles they had been worn. They are a size 10 & 1/2 but don't fit me so I reckon they would fit a 9 or & 1/2. Im happy to get sell em for a 10quid. If you interested I'll bring em in on saturday and you can try them on.

Sounds good. Sounds like you are enjoying it.

O and I won't be in on saturday so you don't need to raid your bank.
