Parkour is pretty badass. It's less badass than free soloing, but still pretty cool. I also don't like it when people call it a martial art.
I've never once broke a bone doing it =/ I've fallen a few times though =( Did i mention i'm sponsered for it =P
sure i'll spend an hour in the park watching someone else play superman. seriously, this sounds like something that has it's own place of honor among the darwin awards.
looks like the modern equivalent of swinging through trees to me... looks like fun, but i'll stick to me bicycle to get through the city :mickey:
Fuck a discussion. Just watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z40Hy8F7Md8"]YouTube - Livewire 2009
i remember people calling it "freestyling" when i was in high school 2000-2004. me and my buddies would sometimes get really high and go freestyle at the mall, but i dont think we did any better tricks than a 360 off a curb. lol shit's awesome though. they had some parkour championship in seattle on g2 not too long ago. it's really entertaining stuff
It looks like fun, but where I live, there's absolutely no place to do such a thing. The buildings and houses are all placed too far apart, I think people would probably break their necks trying to jump from one to another. Or fall through a roof...
i used to enjoy running through the woods back in the day. i didn't realize there was a name for it at the time though.
Parkour,, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour I think the French invented it while running away from the nazis.
