ToastedRav first brought you a look at the Parkour scene here in St. Louis when we got a lesson from Elly, a local traceuse. Elly and a few members of TRICKset, the parkour/freerunning group that she trains with, as well as a few other parkour/freerunning groups in the area, will all be making their big screen debut this weekend in The Disk: Code Zero. The full length independent film, which is directed by Ladue High School grad Jeremy Cropf, is an action thriller that showcases several parkour chase scenes.

For those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about, here's a rundown of what this acrobatic extreme discipline is. Parkour is moving from Point A to Point B in the most efficient way possible, which is what makes it different from freerunning. This might include vaults and leaps, as well as more mental critical-thinking skills. For more about the history of Parkour and its founders, Raymond and David Belle, click here.
