Training as a large group created a special vibe. The ideas of one traceur sprang from the ideas of another. Thomas and Blane were able to give advice and demonstrate movements, providing inspiration for many of those present. For some of the Italian traceurs, jumps and movements that were thought almost impossible – or even incomprehensible – became distantly achievable. As a traceur improves his or her physical strength and technique, the traceur’s understanding of what is possible and how space can be used also increases, and sometimes it only takes a small step in one to make good progress in the other. For Blane and Thomas, being able to help an individual with this relationship between parkour vision and parkour ability is both humbling and hugely satisfying, and this was evident throughout the day.
