NAPC 7 Men’s Style Quarter Final Recap

In the Quarter Final Round for Men’s Style 24 athletes must provide the judges with the smoothest and most well thought out line they can over the lower area of the gym.

So many thanks to Joey and Frosti because I don’t speak fluent freerunner. If you can translate these athletes runs better then please please please let me know and I’ll edit it.

Let me know which other events I should mine the interwebs for! But for now, let’s get down to watching and talking shop about Sport Parkour League’s Origin Parkour Pro.
