In the Summer of 2008, Zachary Cohn took a trip across the country, hitting up over 20 cities over the course of 8 weeks. Through the goodwill of traceurs across the country, he never had to sleep in a hotel or on the street, just couches and floors from one coast to the other. Read the stories, see the pictures, and watch the videos from his trip!

When it comes to your training, shoes are an essential choice. From barefoot parkour training all the way through to the Caddilac of freerunning shoes the $150 K-SWISS Ariake III's, American Parkour members, sponsored athletes, affiliates, Tribe members and staffers have put them all to the test. We've gone through more shoes than a year's worth of marathons! When it comes to testing shoes, few activities will put them through the rigors what the likes of Parkour and freerunning will do to a pair of sneakers! Have a shoe you'd like us to review (be careful, we're brutal to them), send it our way!
