A parkour state of mind: Matthew D. Lamb at TEDxPSU

Dr. Matthew Lamb shows us how the built environment is designed to influence our experiences of city space and how parkour can change our point of view to see things a little differently.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Great to see some of the academics you 'get it' with parkour doing these kinds of talks. Good stuff Mathew Lamb.

Guy made a 13 minute speech about running and jumping. This is coming from a practitioner of parkour I just thought it was kind of funny. But props to this guy for spreading the existence of the art to more people. Anything that expands and further develops the community/culture is cool with me 👍

Look at the top of he's head

Nothing natural about a sidewalk, that is correct, for 7000 years the roads have been owned by people, children played in them and it was where you socialised, then came the car, the past 70 years has been the time when the car has taken our space, TAKE IT BACK!
