I understand the frustration, but these events are not for you and me. They are not here to launch a sport platform that reflects the values of the scene on the street.
You can like them for the short lived opportunity and cash they give to the participants. You can watch them for something cool that might happen (not in their speed events 😴).
But don’t watch to see a winner (or even participants) that will make any sense to you.
…I’m triggered. I’m fired up. We’re going to have the best show ever this year. Athletes who held out because flights were too expensive are going to be sad they missed it. With we are the only ones actually putting in work to create events that make sense for parkour athletes and are entertaining to watch. We’ve had events that were trash, but every year we improve. Now NAPC is the most noteworthy competition on the planet. Those 4 letters get mentioned on practically every and podcast. And we haven’t even had one in 3 years! Nobody even remembers what anyone did at AOM in 2019, but they remember what went down at NAPC.
We’re doing this with no capital investment or big brands to back us (not that those are inherently bad things) and I freaking hope this is the last year I have to say that, because we’re putting so much more in to this year. Stay tuned.
