Alissa from Madison, USA has a secret alternate identity. By day she is a wife and retired ballet dancer, by night she is a traceuse extraordinaire who helped found Madison Parkour, uses her translating powers to aide French traceurs and the power of parkour to spread empowerment and self-help to girls in the USA! Okay, we may be stretching the truth with "secret alternate identity" but this lady has quite a few accomplishments and a lot of inspiring things to say, so enjoy! :) |

|
| Ann from Ukraine has some serious skills both in parkour and free-running. Whether training in the sunshine, rain, wind or snow (!) it's obvious that she loves what she does and inspires girls to get out there. | ||

| Marie from Copenhagen, Denmark is not going to make a flashy youtube video anytime soon but just prefers to train hard on her skills and to help others by starting the Streetmovement girls' training with her friend Sussie Lundt.

| Kiwi lass Hayley's chilled out demeanor belies the fact that she loves what she does and goes as hard as she can. All the idle chit chat about what girls should do and don't do, doesn't matter. What matters is getting stronger and not over-thinking it! The results shine through, whether shaming boys at conditioning or perfoming gymnastic feats of skill, which proves at least one thing, the barriers are only in your head. | ||
