BREAKING NEWS: The International Parkour Federation (IPF) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with WorldOCR (Obstacle Course Racing) with the intent to form an umbrella organization known as World Obstacle. This organization would combine the efforts of four sports/disciplines: Parkour, Obstacle Course Racing, Ninja Warrior &amp; Adventure Racing. All of which will retain their fully autonomy and independent governance. My guest today is Victor Bevine...  Victor is the Co-Founder &amp; CEO of the World Freerunning Parkour Federation (WFPF) and currently the Acting President of the International Parkour Federation (IPF). He is an award-winning audiobook narrator and published author based out of New York City.  IPF has been in a chess match with the FIG (International Federation of Gymnastics) since 2014 fighting for the autonomy of Parkour as a sport. Fighting for this autonomy ultimately allows the grass-roots organization that have been fostering and developing the global parkour community and cultures over the years maintain their independence and influence rather than handing their efforts over to another entity. It appears that FIG has also been attempting to appropriate Obstacle Course Racing as well. With the International Olympic Committee (IOC) looking for more collaboration among its members and either creating or combining current sports organizations into new multi-sport federations and efforts, both the IPF and WorldOCR are interested in pre-emptively resolving this future roadblock and joining efforts now to fight off FIG together by combining resources and leverage.  IPF, since 2014, has helped almost 50 countries achieve National Independence, autonomy for Parkour and communication with their sports councils. WorldOCR, founded in 2015, has 80 federations and organizations that make up its base.  Ultimately, this move has the potential to be the "checkmate" in the game of chess with FIG and truly up level the sports that share a common root and apparatus: The Obstacle  With all of this said, There is always a lot of nuance with big decisions like these and I would encourage you enjoy the next hour with an open mind and start to witness the creative solutions this new partnership brings to the table.  So with out further ado, I invite you, to jump into the mind of Victor Bevine. *Please subscribe to Parkour &amp; More anywhere you enjoy listening to podcasts, and feel free to leave us a rating and review in Apple Podcasts.

#8 Victor Bevine - The World Of Obstacles

Victor Bevine is the Co-Founder &amp; CEO of the World Freerunning Parkour Federation (WFPF) and currently the Acting President of the International Parkour Federation (IPF). He is an award-winning audiobook narrator and published author based out of New York City.  IPF has been in a chess match with the FIG since 2014 fighting for the autonomy of Parkour as a sport. Fighting for this autonomy ultimately allows the grass-roots organization that have been fostering and developing the global parkour community and cultures over the years maintain their independence and influence rather than handing their efforts over to another entity.  FIG certainly could have brought and still might bring a version of Sport Parkour to the world stage, certainly through world championships and the Olympic Games which they have over a hundred years of experience in doing so. However, around 2017 the Parkour Community fought FIGs efforts as loud as possible, but we truly didn't have the infrastructure in place to provide a compelling alternative. Luckily IPF began the process in 2014 to create roadblocks for FIG and mitigate the risk of leaving them uncontested. Especially in the eyes of the International Olympic Committee.  IPF has bought us more time and since 2014 has helped almost 50 countries achieve National Independence and autonomy for Parkour and communication with their sports councils. They hosted their first International Congress virtually in June 2020 amidst our global pandemic with over 50 countries represented and have made some powerful allies around the world helping them in their efforts against FIG.  With all of this said, I find it pertinent to clarify that I hold no current role or day to day function for IPF, so my opinions and passions you will hear me share are those of my own experiences and observations.  So with out further ado, I invite you, to jump into the mind of Victor Bevine. *Please subscribe to Parkour &amp; More anywhere you enjoy listening to podcasts, and feel free to leave us a rating and review in Apple Podcasts.
