Aside from the fact that the art of parkour is visually stunning it does help maintain fitness and flexibility. Parkour practice includes proprioceptive training, increasing the spatial awareness of one’s limbs, which increases your body’s capabilities to do things that might otherwise seem impossible. I can’t say I’m training heavily, or even do a tenth of [...]

Some times the car needs to be parked, and the space is small. In this video the stunt skilled driver displays how it can be done turbo style, with minimal fuss, and no to-ing and fro-ing. Forget parallel parking, this is the time saving method of lateral car parking. See how it’s done after the [...]

We all have animals that inhabit our Time Zoo. Some have many animals, some only a few. However all demand upkeep, and all sap away at our limited resource of Time. Stuff. That’s what clutters up or lives for the most part. We tend to think that having more items to fulfill functions within our [...]
