Thoughts of Flight
2020
It was seven years ago when Saeed Ramin, an Iranian professional traceur landed on a mat in an illegal competition and diagnosed with a spinal cord injury on his neck. The injury was so tough that he could only blink and according to his doctors, he could not even sit on a wheelchair.
But he regained some of his ability after rehabilitation at home with confidence and now he sits on a wheelchair. Just one year after the injury, Saeed met “Maedeh” (one of his interns) and married her after 6 years. He and Maedeh believe that one day he will get up from the wheelchair too.
The sport of Parkour became popular in Iran after the 2 Iranian traceurs appeared on the “Jump London” Documentary.
Parkour became illegal in Iran on 2010, rationalized as a High-risk sport.
Despite the stunning performance by the Iranian traceurs on the World Championships in Turkey, the sport still doesn’t have a right administrator in Iran to prevent the irrecoverable damages and injuries with support and professional training.

The cost of rehabilitation in the hospital is too much for Saeed. Therefore, with the help of his family, he simulated rehabilitation equipment by installing several bars in the yard, and despite the doctors' predictions, he was able to regain the mobility of his hands.

He broke the record for jumping on asphalt in Iran by jumping over an air bridge, a year before he was injured.
