Parkour feature in Washington Post Magazine

My feature article on Mark Toorock, American Parkour, and The Tribe ran in The Washington Post Magazine yesterday. Click here for the online version, which includes an exclusive video the Post produced to accompany the story: Jump First, Ask Questions Later: Imported from France, a growing sport known as parkour is driving people up walls. The print version, in the magazine that came with yesterday’s Sunday paper, has awesome photos by my friend David Holloway.

Just over 13 years ago I traveled to Washington, DC for journalism school, thinking I’d end up working for The Washington Post. It took me a little while to get around to it, but… I couldn’t be happier to finally be in these pages with such a cool story. If you’re in DC, please rescue a few copies from the recycling bin and send them my way!
