Flying over obstacles became a way of life for Platteville’s parkour athletes.

Asa Krueger loves to fly over obstacles. In the years since he discovered the freestyle, outdoor, gymnastic pursuit called parkour, it has become a way of life. He was one of a group of UW-Platteville students that leaped over numerous roadblocks to form a student organization and eventually host the world's first collegiate parkour competition.
