A street sport called parkour is growing in popularity around the Northwest.  Practitioners are part stuntmen, part acrobats and part human monkey.  Parkour has been seen in a number of movies, from the opening chase scene through a construction site in "Casino Royale" to the recently released Disney film "Prince of Persia". 

An indoor gym called Parkour Visions recently opened in Fremont, offering a variety of classes for all ages.  For those who live on the south end, Parkour Visions instructors offer classes at Tacoma Crossfit.  Just in time for summer break, Parkour Visions is also holding three different summer camps for kids this year.
