Parkour good for escaping mobsters!
by Eric Jusino
In case you wondered about the practical applications of parkour beyond looking cool while walking down the street, bestselling Seattle-based author Neal Stephenson's latest book, REAMDE, has a situation:
Zula had noted the location of a door off the elevator lobby that apparently led to a fire stair, and she wondered how many flights down she could get before a security consultant would catch up with her. They were probably practiced at vaulting over the railings, or some other high speed stair-descending technique that she didn't know about.
Peter had tried to talk her into taking a parkour class in Seattle. She wished she'd said yes.
Don't be a Zula. Come to class at Parkour Visions (and we hope to see Neal in the gym at some point, too).
