The F-Lite 320PK has been developed to provide a high performance, exceptionally comfort shoe for running in hard, mountainous terrain. The synthetic mesh construction is light yet strong for the ideal balance when pounding the trail, providing a good level of resistance to abrasion and tearing. The supportive web lace system helps to keep the foot held firmly, while also ensuring that the F-Lite 320PK’s low profile design fits exceedingly well. The specially designed outsole delivers excellent mixed terrain performance, with graded sole depth to provide superb grip and good stability. Inov8 has placed a stiffening shank into the midsole to reduce the effects of twisting on the shoe for a more solid feel when running, and their Rocshoc* compound supplies first class shock absorption to help reduce the effects of a racing on weary limbs

What is Parkour?
Parkour (sometimes abbreviated to PK) or art du déplacement (English: art of displacement) is a physical art of French origin, the aim of which is to move from point A to point B as efficiently and quickly as possible, using the abilities of the human body. In parkour, every motion must be as close to 100% efficient as possible in taking you from your start point to your destination point. Therefore vaults, drops, jumps, rolls, wall climbing, and catgrabs are part of parkour, but spins, flips, and direction reversals are usually not. "Traceurs" (Male parkour practitioners are recognized as traceurs and female as traceuses, the French name for one who practices Parkour) utilize obstacles and the spaces between them to create a forward flow, taking physical objects meant to restrict motion and using them to enhance it instead. It is meant to help one overcome obstacles, which can be anything in the surrounding environment — from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls — so parkour can be practiced in both rural and urban areas.  A parkour video usually follows one or more traceurs in constant motion throughout an environment, as they overcome a variety of different challenges such as fences, walls, and gaps. Most parkour videos will include very few shots of "safe locations" such as a gym, because the key to parkour is interaction with the real, outside world.


What is Freerunning?
Freerunning takes the basic skill sets of Parkour and Tricking and combines them into a single activity. "Freerunners" often take part in parkour-like runs, but move without self-imposing any efficiency restriction, and so include spins, flips, and direction reverses to attempt to increase the overall aesthetic appeal of the run. A free-running video usually follows one or more freerunners in fairly constant motion throughout an environment, with occasional pauses for techniques like handstands, flag holds, and flips from stationary positions on obstacles. Freerunning videos will include almost any kind of location, from safe environments like a gym or a pool or a sandpit to urban environments like an escalator or a rooftop to natural environments like a forest or a cliff.


What is Tricking?
A subset of freestyle gymnastics and martial arts kicking techniques. Tricking involves tight spins and flips usually done on level ground with plenty of space. Although tricking can be done in single techniques, there is usually an emphasis on a continuous flow from move to move to move, with momentum remaining high throughout. Because of this, tricking requires the ability to generate explosive power with single-leg takeoffs and a great deal of coordination and body control. "Tricksters" or "trickers" usually do not utilize any obstacles, but sometimes a small obstacle might be flipped over or used to boost height. A tricking video usually shows just one trickster in a variety of different environments, often including a gym or a grassy area, because the emphasis is on the trickster's motions themselves, on his flow and his ability to flip and spin, rather than on the dangerous nature of his environment. Indeed, it is in a trickster's best interests to seek out the ideal soft, flat terrain so that he can push his limits without unnecessary risk.
