The eyerun Podcast (Parkour Podcast) is a mix of interview and talk about Parkour and sports in general. My name is Philipp Raasch and I am from cologne, Germany. I teach and practice Parkour since 2003. The last years I traveled a lot and have had the possibility to talk to many Traceurs around the world. I like to share some of the conversations and thoughts through this podcast. This Podcast was recorded during the International Gathering 2017 in Denmark. Sharing is caring :)

"Andy Day is a British photographer and writer living in France. He began photographing parkour in 2003 and has been doing weird things in the city and elsewhere ever since. He's addicted to climbing and owns a fairly useless dog. He has an MA in Sociology & Photography which often makes him ponder what all of this really means." (fstoppers.com)
