Welcome to Devon Parkour
Devon Parkour is the south west's largest online parkour/freerun/street stunts community, run by a group of traceurs based in the South Hams. While our primary focus is parkour, we encourage similar activities such as tricking, street stunts and martial arts. We frequently attend gatherings all over the westcountry including Plymouth, Exeter & Taunton; training with other groups such as Escape Parkour, Les Voleurs and Levity.

East Allington's Got Talent
Last night Dom was invited to take part in a local talent show which was based loosely around the 'Britain's Got Talent' TV show format. The stage was about the size of a postage stamp which put a massive limitation on the moves that could be performed but in spite of this, it was still well received by the audience and judges.
Red Bull Art of Motion Parkour Documentary
Devon Parkour was recently asked to take part in an up coming six part TV series for Red Bull called 'Wingman'. Aiden, Dom & Pete went to represent and put on a stunning demonstration of parkour and freerunning along with some interviews and tutorials.
The programme is due to be televised towards the end of the summer and short clips may also be available for download on the Red Bull website.
Big thanks to Giles, Georgie & Ed from http://www.threefeethigh.co.uk/ and also to Trish from Newton Abbot Gymnastics Club for making this possible.
