Record-setting heat has swept over the state these past few weeks with temperatures soaring into the triple digits. Be sure to avoid any heat-related injuries by training in the shade, staying hydrated, and avoiding peak hours of high temperatures.
School for many of us is starting back up soon so be on the lookout for any updates from your local universities and schools by checking the forums. UNC-C has been keeping to their schedule while NCSU will start regular club meet-ups in late August.
Just a reminder that Charlotte Parkour now has their own website. You can become a fan of theirs on Facebook! They will be hosting a free intro seminar to parkour on August 20th. For more information, view the event. The group was recently featured in Lake Norman new's local community paper in, Club Members Scale the Heights at UNC-C.

Hi there, I'm Lindsay Colip and I work for Dan Bell Casting out of Los Angeles. We are casting a SAG National Commercial starring HIGHLY SKILLED Parkour/Free Runner guys. No specific ages, although I think their 'goal' age was 18-35yrs. All ethnicities. All sizes/shapes. They can live ANYWHERE in the states. We will fly them in and put them up for the duration of the shoot/rehearsals. It shoots Sept 21st-23rd in Los Angeles and rehearsals are Sept 14th-20th. I am SURE you know plenty of cool guys that would want to audition for this--we are doing skype interviews starting today thru Monday and would love to interview anyone you thought would be great. It's important that these guys are highly skilled, not beginners, a younger David Belle (in skill level).
I can be reached at 310.804.5055 or lindsaycolip@gmail.com. Please let me know if anyone is interested, thank you!
