I am Alex. I am 17 years old and I was born in Germany and moved to Boulder when I was about 7. I started with no English and a new life ahead of me. I had tried many other sports like basketball, football, and soccer but could never get into any of them. About four years ago, one of my friends told me to come to APEX Movement to do parkour. I had no idea what parkour was, but when I took my first class I was instantly hooked. This ended the lazy chapter in my life and began a new one full of excitement and determination to become great at parkour. Parkour ignited my desire to be active in other areas as well. Since I started doing parkour, I have been experimenting with other movement arts. I started to snowboard, wake board, and explore the outside world.
