Parkour

anyone here do parkour? I'm a traceur from Toronto btw!

 

I'm not very good at anything like that. ^_^; I sure do love climbing up the sides of buildings though (mainly to scare passers-by)

 

Haha it would be fun to do this, watched some videos on TV one time, laughed my head off. I would be able to do a slight example of parkour.

 

I love watching parkour. The videos of parkour injuries are really hard to watch though. > <

 

My friend does parkour but he sucks at it. We all cheer him on though.

 

Hmm, the Prince of Persia knows parkour. Maybe you should play his games.

 

Tried it. Sucked. I fell off the railings of a staircase and got both ankles sprained :/. I stay away from physical activity now ...

 

All I do is climb and jump short gaps, not jump from building to building I'm not that suicidal.

 

I can do standard vaults like a monkey vault or even a kong vault, but i stop there

 

I do, beeng doing it for a year now...

Im from Caracas, Venezuela

I also like to do FreeRunning sometimes, but dont tell anyone ;P

 

I don't live it per se but have seen that film "Yamazaki" which has all those french hipsters livin' it up in Ol' Paris. Also tried it virtually on the PSP and totally sucked at it. I loved climbing trees when I was a kid so maybe I should become a padawan learner a.k.a a traceur but I don't have the time/space/equipment/environment to train properly. So you part of a crew with frequent sorties upon your playground?

 

I have tried it some... It's pretty fun sometimes when bored and having too much energy. I just should buy new shoes because I have only military boots right now...

 

this stuff is awsome. cool to see.

 

I tried Freerunning a few times with my buddy and we were almost busted by the police, because we scared some crazy folks. I swear we didn't hurt, touch or hassle anybody

Even though i don't look athletic, i'm able to pull off a few long jumps, flips and stuff.

Guess i owe it to my other buddy, with whom i've been back-yard wrestling for about 3 years

 

haha yea me 2

 

Had I found parkour before I got my new computer I would have done it everyday since finding it... but irony has lead me to find it because of my computer and I'm all fat and outta shape to do it.

 

Any tips of wall running? I have always wanted to try that, but always fail miserably. Is it easier to run straight into the wall at first?

 

Depends which type of wall-running, horizontal or vertical, one tip don't be scared of the wall, master it!
Traceur from Norway, yeah it's damn cold and there aren't that many awesome hotspots. Too few parkour practitioners in Norway:/

 

Awesome, a fellow Traceur!! Me and a couple of friends do a little bit of semi-pro parkour over here in Ottawa! Wall-Runs are the bomb; can do a double kick giving about 12-14 feet, sometimes.. Good to know I'm not the only crazy one!!

 

I want to see it in person!
