TR89, I think you are taking this the wrong way and a bit to serious, it is not because we think we are so "special" of course we can answer other question any other time, but the idea is to now take the time to really dedicate some attention to the heart of the community which is you guys, and to have some fun while doing it. You are the people who make APK what it is, you are the ones we consider special. I get IM's pretty often and take my time to answer as many question as I can. But this way is a call out for the beginners who really believe we can be of help, for those that for earned reason or not look up to the APK team. A simple reason for you guys to know the people behind APK, because this is not just a random site. It is a site that is made for traceurs(euses) from traceurs(euses).
As leaders and teachers we always learn from our students and piers, I do all the time. That is how we all excel. It is not that we are gods for you all to come and worship but if we can help we will do our best to do so.
We dont have all the answers to everyone problems regarding training/conditioning etc, but we are here to be [if you allow me to say] leaders and a good example for the beginners of this growing discipline. We have been training for a while and have made the mistakes we want you to avoid. We might have insights that might help other get to their goals a bit quicker.
This is for everyone, the reason we are doing this is to show that we are here not only to make the site look cool, to make vids, or think of ourselves as the best of the best. We are here tobe part of the community as well. All communities need leaders and we are lucky and blessed to be the ones trying to make of parkour the best it can be here in the states. It is for you we are making this effort to put ourselves on the spot, if we thought we were so special, I dont see why we would even take the time to do this.
We have recently realize that we are not showing as much presence on the forums as we should. This is an attempt for us to show that we are there if anyone needs us, for we support anyone, regardless of skill level. We welcome you open arms to our community, your community. This is plain and simple another way to make the forum a run pace to be.
My sincere apologies if this came out the wrong way.
