Now listen again with the script.
Logan Smith, who is 13 years old, has lived in his town since he was two years old. Many children complain that it’s boring because aren’t many places for kids to play. But that all changed when Logan started learning Parkour. Suddenly, the whole town became his playground!
In Parkour, or free-running, you have to get from one place to another as quickly as you can. If there is an obstacle in your way, you need to get over it, under it or around it. The first thing you learn is how to fall well.
Parkour can be dangerous and so to learn it you need to find a good teacher. Logan began learning Parkour three years ago. He fell over a lot at first but he learned fast and has improved since then. Logan says he hasn’t fallen for about three months.
