Fortress2000 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 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. http://www.parkour-videos.com/reportage ... sion-7-a-8 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: Writing in colour was fun while it lasted...The Tip.It. Furry! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killersushipunk Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I wish I could do PK. I used to have a link to my school's project to provide fresh water to a Kenyan Village, but the sig police changed the link to say something, which, if followed, leads to an "ahem" adult website. Let me ask you. Which do you think is worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortress2000 Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 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.

Fortress2000 Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 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.

Cloaked_Shadow Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 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... ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Putter Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
