Head Coach • jupiter@parkourvisions.org

A Portland native, Jupiter began his parkour training 11 years ago at Revolution Parkour. The same month, he broke his femur at a local park. Three months and several copies of Assassin's Creed later, he was back to training. The same year, he was coaching at his local gym, Parkour Infinity. From these humbling beginnings and ever after, Jupiter has seen his life, the world and everything as the parkour philosophers before him intended: “It’s about overcoming obstacles, whether they’re mental or physical.” Whether it was couch-bound gaming sessions, going to college for physics and physiology, filming and moving for parkour art projects, or building, breaking, and rebuilding his body to allow for a life of pain-free movement, he has always found his own way forward. Jupiter believes that everyone can, and he attempts to give others the simple yet universal tools to break down their fears and become the person capable of facing them.

Movement has been important to Eve for most of their life in the form of classical dance, aikido, rugby, MMA, FCPK, capoeira, and of course, parkour. She has played an active role in the parkour community since 2009 not only through training, but also by participating in the Balance Marathon, a global parkour initiative to raise money for mental health. She has pushed through incredible obstacles, including a shoulder injury, to continue her movement journey.
