Ryan Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Just wondering if anyone is watching it, a documentary on TLC. It's mainly about the Free Running movement that pretty much everyone knows about. It's interesting because the movement founder Sebastian and some other guys are finding historic landmarks to test their skills. Anyone do this kind of stuff? It amazes me. And yes I know it's nothing new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I saw a similar thing on BBC1 a few months ago. I used to do kinda free running when i was younger until i [bleep]ted myself on a wall ^_^ Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

Rizla Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I saw those guys do a demo at the extreme sports festival last year, they're some crazy people that's for sure. Kirk and Lars I could handle. At the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman089 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I don't think I get what you guys are talking about. Are these people base jumpers? Sky-diving off of national monuments? Gamertag: King Arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I don't think I get what you guys are talking about. Are these people base jumpers? Sky-diving off of national monuments? No just jumping. No shutes or nets or mats. Just jumping from buildings and walls and stuff. lol.

Purepehmo Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 we call it par-kour around here. My mates do it. They jump from house roofs to roofs and so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixel_melee Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 free running aka parkour, summing it up quickly it is basically people testing themselves to the extreme for example jumping over gaps or vaulting over high objects. originated in france but there is now a big movement in the uk (london especially) it was invented by David Belle and Sebastien Foucan in france near dam de lac(sp?) Although their stunts do look crazy it is a very controlled 'sport' and the idea of it is to move from place to place as fluently and gracefully as possible.

It does look pretty cool in those videos though, and must've taken huge cohon̮̩̉̉s. Gamertag: King Arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
