Houston
Mandy Trichell, in collaboration with Anne Opalko of Outrunner (Austin, TX), coordinated and executed Houston’s first ever Parkour Women’s Workshop, bringing in 30+ participants of all ages and ethnicities. It was a successful endeavor that helped further Mandy’s interest in community building through the discipline of parkour.

Mandy is a board member of Urban Movement, a non-profit committed to the responsible promotion of diverse movement arts and disciplines. Urban Movement started because of parkour, because of how fast it’s growing and because of each director’s desire to lend a hand in helping the discipline grow strong and stay connected. It takes a lot of energy and determination to be able to truly understand, follow and progress in your own way. Conditioning, repetition, opening your mind and allowing yourself to gradually progress are key. You are your only competition.
