I've been thinking for some time with my friend about training parkour (free running), so we've finaly decided to do it. If you have no idea what parkour is, watch this video of David Belle. In my opinion, he is the best free runner. The video is in French, but it had English subtitles.

The middle video is the one with the subtitles. Top is only in French, and the bottom is a spoof.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To start off, we'll be training at school, at our houses, and round our streets. As we get better, we'll move on to more challenging places, to push ourselves, and our skill. Hopefully, by the end of it, my friend and I will create a video of our favourite chosen line, and possibly try to get the best record time for that area. Pains and injuries are sure to come, but this is something I really enjoy. :thumbsup:

go for it!

Anwyays good luck with that be sure to let us know how it goes =D. Don't die.

i love that kind of stuff... i'm thinkin about trying some of it to lol... i just can't get hurt during basketball or when track starts i got bored the other day so i just ran down to the school and climbed the field goal posts and other things i could climb up lol, goodluck on getting better :D

Well, I can now flip over fences pretty easy enough, and I can get 3 steps up a wall before gravity starts to take its hold again. :x Side vaults, easy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's to come next?

Woh... that bit where he jumped from the top of the stairs and landed on the rails... :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

=D> =D>

Yeh, I love that bit.

wow thats sweet O:) Anything thing or hints i should know before i go and try it? :P

Yes. Dont kill yourself. Start at something easy, like side vaults over a small ledge, then slowly work your way up (really, I mean UPWARDS) It's pretty good exercise, and fun to do.

I love this stuff, even though I'm an amateur. I only do individual stunts, and that is NOT parkour....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have yet to string my stair jumping, flips and rolls together into one run...

Haha i did just that :P Me and my pal ultralord decided to parkour and we checked out the local parks. Parkour is really fun actually, but i did fall on my leg weirdly and hurt my knee :XD: Its getting better though, so im going back out tommorow :-w

Those guys are in crazy good shape, especially powerful legs. Sure, there's alot of technique, but don't neglect the fact that you need to be in crazy good shape to do that kind of stuff.
