    I saw a documentary a few years back on TV about "Freestyle Walking". It seemed to have been quite a phenomenon in New York.What'd ya think? I tried it in London,high and not high,on the subway and on sidewalks.Got good reactions from kids and hipsters.The thing is to express yourself as you walk,as long as you're safe and cool.By the way I can bust a few moves and in the right headspace I don't care what people think of me.

    Could we start a freestyle walking revolution.It's not technical illegal.You are free to express yourself down the street,kind of like your doing a walking dance.What's wrong with dancing around the world.Takes a bit of chutzpah,but it's a lot of fun.I wanna see more hippies freestyle walking.All over the world.So let's get those glad rags on and dance ourselves into oblivion.

    Had to look this up = most expressive (and nothing to do with the Monty Python 'ministry of silly walks at all) :)

    I've been freestyle walking for years and nobody knew what I was talking about when I said that. Finally someone else who knows what freestyle walking is!

    I'm not talking hardcore parkour here,which originated in Paris due to urban boredom and a penchant for risk-taking at which the French youth excel at.

    My primary motive here wad to highlight the straightjacket's we have to wear to negotiate the social environment,because we live in a very controlled environment where any "strange" behaviour like getting funky on the streets arouses immediate suspicion.I know.I used to be a graffiti artist and street dancer.Nowadays you have to go around like a self-controlled auto-bot or people will think you're some kind of weirdo.We are increasingly living in a monitored control world,which we internalize into our behaviours in public life.


    People should be free from this fear to socially express themselves and also talk to strangers.I just don't want an anarcho-capitalist fascist public realm where I have to be constantly on guard as to my freedom and slightly eccentric self.I want to groove and wave my freak flag high.

    Says who? Who cares who thinks you're a weirdo, it's a free country! Do your thang mang, you might inspire others to do the same.
    Graffiti is kinda vandalism though, you could get in trouble for that. I think you could get away with chalk art, they might make you clean it up when you're done though, lol
