The Hong Kong Parkour Association will work their wonders at Freespace Fest.
Parkour is gradually becoming a trend in Hong Kong since Luc Besson’s ‘Yamakasi’, in which practitioners (traceur) quickly and efficiently overcome obstacles in their environment, using only their bodies and their surroundings to propel themselves.
