Evening everyone. Forrest has posted a comment in response to my last submission and I thought that it really needs to get more exposure as it's something that's quite important - to him and to Parkour Generations as a team. Hopefully he won't mind me re-posting it on his behalf. If you missed it, this is what he said:

Premierement, merci a tous pour cette soiree. Je ne m'y attendais pas tout. Tout le monde etait au courant meme ma femme sauf moi. A mon arrivee, ils m'ont explique que ce soir l'equipe de PKG voulait celebrer plusieurs choses.

Ma confirmation de mariage(ceremonie religieuse)dans 2 semaines.

L'anniversaire de Thomas.

Mon retour actif dans l'equipe parce que 3 mois auparavant j'ai vecu un episode de ma vie assez dur.

Je suis reste a l'hopital pendant 10 jours ou je me suis fait opere du coeur pour fixer un soufle au coeur. 1 semaine avant ca je me suis tordu le genou gauche a l'entrainement, j'ai recu le resultat de l'IRM il y a 3 semaines. Rupture totale du ligament croise anterieur. Je devrais me faire opere en novembre. J'ai repris depuis peu l'entrainement et les cours, et je me sens vraiment bien. Donc Merci encore.

Sinon c'est vrai que j'adore cette photo. Quand j'etais plus jeune, j'ai joue au foot en tant que gardien de but dans une structure professionnelle. Chaque fois que je regarde cette photo, ca me rappelle qu'au fond ce gardien a toujours ete la et sera toujours present. Ne te focalise pas sur le passe mais utilise le pour devenir plus fort dans le future.

A plus! Forrest.

First of all, thanks everyone for this evening. I didn't expect at all. Everybody knew about it even my wife except myself. When i arrived, they explained to me tonight PKG team wanted to celebrate few things:

Confimation of my wedding (blessing ceremony) in 2 weeks.

Thomas's birthday

My active return in the team because i went through an episode in my life quite hard 3 months ago.

I spent 10 days at the hospital where i had a heart surgery to fixe a hole on my heart. 1 week before this,i twisted my left knee during training, i received the result of my MRI scann 3 weeks ago. My anterior crutial ligament is completely torn. I should have a surgery in november.

Not long time ago i started again to train and teach , and i feel great. So thanks again.

Indeed, it's true, i love this pic. When i was younger i played football professionally as a goalkeeper. Every time i look at this pic it reminds me in deep this goalkeeper has always been there and it will be always there. Don't be focused on the past time but use it to become stronger in the future.

See you! Forrest.
