There isn't a invisible monster chasing me, there's a real monster chasing me!!!! This is cool, so many police and angry people have told me off in the past, so making people more aware that it isn't vandalism and is using our bodies in the full potential is the way forward :)
hello Graham my name is John and i have been practicing parkour for about 4 years now. im glad that you have put up this video because im constantly getting glares from almost everyone. i know that if i messed up i would almost die however thats why we have to practice so much. if i get a chance then i will take it and every time a take a chance, then i will get glares from everyone. thank you for your support and keep on uploading.
parkour definately should be an olympic event!!! ninja warrior is growing in america and is the same basic concept. i love parkour, not many good spots around here, but i'm also into just flips on flat ground because you can practice that anywhere. back to the olympic event thing though, look, they've got fucking curling! how the hell is that let in, but parkour isn't yet?!?! can anyone explain to me how curling is considered dificult??? great vids, thanks
Babies don't begin by walking down a concrete stair set with no hand rail. But, eventually all kids/people can walk down a concrete stair set without being "reckless." Parkour works the same way. Most people don't seem to understand that.
Thanks for the video. It's nice to see some understanding. It's incredibly frustrating that people think parkour is reckless. People see the videos we post and only see an end result. They, unfortunately, don't always see a progression. Or, out on the street, they only see the result of progression.
you're awesome! i've trained parkour for 2 years and dealt with countless people who just think we are reckless kids jumping around and a liability issue. I played soccer for 12 years and got injured countless times. Since i started parkour i have just gotten minor injuries like cuts and bruises.
Glad to know there are people out there that look up about something they've never heard of.
It's as dangerous as you want to make it, if i don't want to do a big front flip to cat leap i don't have to and if we want to risk our safety let us.
Someone with sence :) , most friends of mine dislike the idea of making it to be in olympics as it become competitive im a tracuer myself, maby check my videos :) great video
i am honord to know we traceus got support by you and plenty others you dont see mutch compasion in the streets u see people going what are they doing they might get hurt and etc nobody sees the art im glad to see that youtube gives the support .>davi23<
no , no , no , no ,nooo.... Olympic sport ??!! Are u kidding me ? How should that look like ?!?! Thats just stupidd...
Parkour must be used on Streets/Roofs.... Anyway my point is NO OLYMPIC . I Think that ,many traceurs will accept with me . Peac ! Great video , evrything was perfect ... u were talking like u had been parkouring in the paast .
My name is Adrian and I have been practicing parkour for over 3 years. And, that was the most beautiful speech I have ever herd about parkour. Thank you for supporting us and understanding what we go through to make sure this is a safe sport. I wish more people understood the preperation we go through before we run. Thank you
There is no way to understand Parkour without practicing by yourself. People should stop talking about it unless they have experienced it. You can read everything about it, talk with people around the World and still you don't know, what Parkour realy is. If it'll be an olympic event the hole thought would be destroyed. There is something called Parcouring wich is invented for competition. Search for it, if u want.
While this was an AMAZING video...i only disagree with two...well 3 things that you said... 1st: you are never TOO old to do parkour :)
2nd: parkour isn't a sport, its a lifestyle
3rd: kindof along the same lines as 2 parkour isn't really a sport (more of a lifestyle) so i don't really think that it should become an olympic event...
But anyway, this was a GREAT video and i thank you for clearing up the whole danger thing... :)
I wouldn't do parkour, they would find me in the middle of the street, they would say what happen, they would say, he ran. Not a big fan of running and fliping doing all the gymastic. Nope I belive in Pa-walk or Pa-getinyourcar. But really that is amazing if you don't really mind getting hurt.
i love you thoughts on parkour and how parkour should be in the olympics, parkour brings everyone who trains it together, also tracuers and freerunners are always nice and welcoming to you, even if you just want to watch, we are always willing to help you begin.
I really wish more people viewed parkour as you do. It's so hard to stay in one spot for more than a few minutes without being kicked out or yelled at.
nice to see an open minded guy on youtube and the way you defined parkour was brill, but when you say that it should be an olympic sport it kinda makes me think otherwise. I mean: here's a scenario you do a jump and you're very happy about it, then one of your freinds said "pffft I can do better", on the non competative side your freind might say "well done getting better"... yeah sorry if that sounded narrow minded I think competition makes you improve, but not in parkour (my opinion)
Parkour, you understand, what david belle said "parkour is also a sport were it teaches people to be aware of the danger, and it teaches us to be safe.
Thanks for haring your view of parkour, they are correct apart from one thing - comment is below.
you sir, are brilliant!!! although one thing you said is not true.... of course you can do parkour!!! like you said, anyone can do it! it doesnt matter how fit you are, use parkour to get fit! it has been said taht parkour is the number two way to get and stay fit, and capoeira being number one!!!
Parkour is a completely non - competitive art, you have very good views of about Parkour, and I hope there are more people like you. And yes I do not like the idea of Parkour becoming an Olympic sport.
@Traceurification yes i think parkour should never become an onlympic sport event because what makes parkour so diffrent and special is the fact that its free its how you want to do it unlike any sport,i love parkour and freerunning i think they are both grate like they are. the only thing i hate right now is it seems like everyone likes it (mostly kids) because it looks cool and it makes them want to do it to just impress people witch is not what parkour or freeruning is about. i hope change :)
I came across trueblueaustralian's video a little while back and tried to comment on it with a peaceful response telling him my thoughts. He immediately took this as a threat and deleted my comments each time I posted.
The world needs more people like you, understanding and logical. The world isn't a safe place, we're not always going to be kept from harm. Of course we should be careful, but... there's safe and there's paranoid.
Thankyou for sharing, take care.
Much love, Max x
sorry about the double post.. wouldn't let me do it in one.
A 70 year old lecturer once told the audience that one of the most important things you should learn for maintaining your health is how to fall. That is, how to fall without injuring yourself. After all, everyone will fall eventually.
I'm a Traceur as well, but I hope it never becomes an olympic sport, or for that matter a sport like football, or basketball, because parkour is not a sport, it is a discipline, Things like competition, money, awards, these things would pervert it even farther
ty, I think the majority of people who want parkour to be an olympic sport are not Traceurs, because a real Traceur knows its a discipline, its a life style, not just some sport that they do in there spare time, with competition, there will prizes, and greed will follow, soon the discipline has been perverted, look at martial arts, it has become perverted (im also a martial artist), on the subject one thing that I hate are people who use these disciplines for the wrong reasons.
this guy is a legend we should do parkour with him, its dumb how cops and ppl tell u to stop jumpin off this and dnt do that and blah blah blah u my friend are awesome auzzie's rule only if ur from NSW XD
Unfortunately, not everyone understands how destructive the dicipline parkour can be if not trained properly. The amount of impact from a drop, for instance, is terrible. Just because you don't feel pain in a movement, doesn't mean that you dont get hurt. When you turn about 40 you will start feeling it. If you want to last, you'll need to train very hard, both physically and technicaly and realize that the art is far from spectacles and showoff that you see on the TV and/or the internet.
Thank you for posting this up mate, its a real plessure to see that someone who doesn't practice the art is just as open minded as us about it and thank you for voicing your opinions. You covered it very well if i might add and more people like you need to be around who understand what it is what we are doing. That we are not just kids mindlessly vandanilsing property, that we are simply using the various arrangements of our surrounds in order to move in a different way :D
hmm its nice to se that you understand what we do and our motives, but competition (you mentioned the olympics) is not a part of parkour. parkour is not about being better than other people, which you seemed to understand when you said its not about fancy tricks
^_^ Very cool. I'm glad that a non-practitioner understands our objectives, and that we aren't just a bunch of kids that think we're indestructible. We all understand the dangers in our art, like martial artists, and other professional athletes, just as you say.
I don't think it should be an olympic event but I do hope more parkours fill the streets of North America so they would look more exciting and vibrant instead of this dull and depressing concrete wasteland filled with dull cars we have now.
I've literally been training for two years specifically for parkour and martial arts. I cannot afford real classes or equipment, so the internet is my trainer.
I broke my leg doing a backflip wrong, unfortunately... And I've been working out for 3 months now so I can do parkour again, it's like a goal I can always follow.
Thanks for understanding our drive, mate. We are very determined people.
Nice video, BUT talking as a traceur myself, Parkour shouldn't be in the olympics because you can't compete in parkour, its not about beating someone or being better then someone. So competeing over who is the best tracuer would be, in my opinion, Disgraceful!
yes you have a good point there. What I meant to say in my video is to have it a demonstration activity at the Olympics to show ppl the skill invovled.
thanks man, cudnt say it etter myself, people in my school go so over the top about me nd my mate bein traceurs (freerunners), its pathetic, they do stupid things like put their hands on a table, jump like 2 inchs high nd move to the side nd say "yeah i do por qua" all we can do is say, actually its parkour nd grow up mate. but yeah, i wish every1 cud share ur opinion.
Same happens with me and my mate but then we tell them to come out for a session with to us to see what it is really about, they then think twice next time.
btw nice vid, some good points made there but yes demonstration not competition
Great video, thank you so much. It really annoys me people who say Parkour is not safe. Driving a car isn't safe, having a Beer isn't safe, they are risks, just like Parkour. Just as you assess your risks in life, such is the same for Parkour. Great Video!
wow graham my cousin does parkour.. I asked him if he had any injuries... and he said no and then he explained me that he trained to avoid injuries , flexibility etc.
These where very touching words thank you lol. I'm very happy someone who doesn't do it understands it so well. Also, I'm sure if you try hard enough you can get fit enough to do parkour! Parkour has no limitations for people :D
you have made more sense than any of my attemps to explain parkour thank you for supporting all tracuers and too be honest i hope parkour stays small because o really don't want people clogging the rooftops but the rest makes sense to me
it's dangerous and injuries, but we all know that u can get injured in any sport lol.
but parkour i think is the least dangerous because u know what u are getting into, and u can take pre-caution in training, and u can do casual and not jump off roofs.
You don't understand, David Belle himself has stated that he doesn't think of Parkour as a sport, for Sports contain competition against one another. Parkour isn't that.
well... wat if u time yourself with a friend? and who ever get over the obstacle faster wins... same thing goes for olympics, everyone get the same obstacle maps, and u can practice it the for 4 years via 100 meters 200 meter, stuff like that. all parkour needs is a standard, and a lot of people interested in it.
For the longest time I allways thought it was impossible to understand parkour unless you have actually done it yourself. You have proven me wrong. You understand it almost spot on. I'm so glad to see this. I really hope people like you can educate other on parkour and why we do it. Thank you for defending my life. :)
traceurs should know what they CAN and CANNOT do. accidents happen unfortunately. as for me im a beginner at parkour and im only sticking to vaults and lower risk jump to roll kind of stuff. no flips or fancy stuff yet
Thank you for supporting us in everything we do. Although, I disagree with it being an Olympic event. Parkour isn't about competitiveness. BUT, I do hope that someday it is excepted in our socitey.
2nd that. Parkour isn't supposed to have competitions. Its not about being better that someone else. Its about improvement of yourself. But otherwise Graham you're the man. Thanks for the support
totally agree about what you said apart from the opympic sport and as you said parkour is for everyone so pull on your trainers and get outside and start training and better yourself always believe.
it will never be an olympic event because us traceurs consider it a discipline not a competition. Also every sport has risks and us traceurs take precations to not hurt ourselves.
Agreed. you put this in a good way, Im glad some people are seeing it as people who wish to express themselves rather than people who are daredevils and have a deathwish.
but having it as an Olympic sport would totally annihilate and destroy parkour.
our community was built on support and non-competition, anyway i respect that your defending parkour, did a way better job of explaining bout it then truebluefaggot, we need more people like you around, you respect what we do and all.
Alot of stuff isn't safe, the best things arn't safe. it wouldn't be fun or challenging if you couldn't get hurt, and it also wouldn't be impressive to anone watching. Watching "safe" parkour and free running is the equivilent to watching a 2 year old crawling around the living room.
There isn't a invisible monster chasing me, there's a real monster chasing me!!!! This is cool, so many police and angry people have told me off in the past, so making people more aware that it isn't vandalism and is using our bodies in the full potential is the way forward :)

I don't think it should be an olympic event but I do hope more parkours fill the streets of North America so they would look more exciting and vibrant instead of this dull and depressing concrete wasteland filled with dull cars we have now.

I've literally been training for two years specifically for parkour and martial arts. I cannot afford real classes or equipment, so the internet is my trainer.
I broke my leg doing a backflip wrong, unfortunately... And I've been working out for 3 months now so I can do parkour again, it's like a goal I can always follow.
Thanks for understanding our drive, mate. We are very determined people.

Nice video, BUT talking as a traceur myself, Parkour shouldn't be in the olympics because you can't compete in parkour, its not about beating someone or being better then someone. So competeing over who is the best tracuer would be, in my opinion, Disgraceful!
tabascojoe77 2 years ago
yes you have a good point there. What I meant to say in my video is to have it a demonstration activity at the Olympics to show ppl the skill invovled.
GrahamAndFriends 2 years ago
Yeh, i'm right with you there :D
tabascojoe77 2 years ago
thanks man, cudnt say it etter myself, people in my school go so over the top about me nd my mate bein traceurs (freerunners), its pathetic, they do stupid things like put their hands on a table, jump like 2 inchs high nd move to the side nd say "yeah i do por qua" all we can do is say, actually its parkour nd grow up mate. but yeah, i wish every1 cud share ur opinion.

GrahamAndFriends 2 years ago
Same happens with me and my mate but then we tell them to come out for a session with to us to see what it is really about, they then think twice next time.
btw nice vid, some good points made there but yes demonstration not competition

Great video, thank you so much. It really annoys me people who say Parkour is not safe. Driving a car isn't safe, having a Beer isn't safe, they are risks, just like Parkour. Just as you assess your risks in life, such is the same for Parkour. Great Video!

wow graham my cousin does parkour.. I asked him if he had any injuries... and he said no and then he explained me that he trained to avoid injuries , flexibility etc.
awesome video !
xoni20 3 years ago
These where very touching words thank you lol. I'm very happy someone who doesn't do it understands it so well. Also, I'm sure if you try hard enough you can get fit enough to do parkour! Parkour has no limitations for people :D

WHY IS PACKOUR NOT IN THE OLYMPICS?!?!? WTH!?
it's dangerous and injuries, but we all know that u can get injured in any sport lol.
but parkour i think is the least dangerous because u know what u are getting into, and u can take pre-caution in training, and u can do casual and not jump off roofs.

Because Parkour isn't a sport. It's an Art.
AjCrazyEh 3 years ago 2
... all sports are art man...

You don't understand, David Belle himself has stated that he doesn't think of Parkour as a sport, for Sports contain competition against one another. Parkour isn't that.
Great video though, Graham!
AjCrazyEh 3 years ago
well... wat if u time yourself with a friend? and who ever get over the obstacle faster wins... same thing goes for olympics, everyone get the same obstacle maps, and u can practice it the for 4 years via 100 meters 200 meter, stuff like that. all parkour needs is a standard, and a lot of people interested in it.
megamanxu 3 years ago
But it was never meant to be a competitive sport is my point.

For the longest time I allways thought it was impossible to understand parkour unless you have actually done it yourself. You have proven me wrong. You understand it almost spot on. I'm so glad to see this. I really hope people like you can educate other on parkour and why we do it. Thank you for defending my life. :)

iamthedirector 3 years ago
parkour isn't meant to be dangerous
traceurs should know what they CAN and CANNOT do. accidents happen unfortunately. as for me im a beginner at parkour and im only sticking to vaults and lower risk jump to roll kind of stuff. no flips or fancy stuff yet

Thank you for supporting us in everything we do. Although, I disagree with it being an Olympic event. Parkour isn't about competitiveness. BUT, I do hope that someday it is excepted in our socitey.
aboukalinoski 3 years ago 4
2nd that. Parkour isn't supposed to have competitions. Its not about being better that someone else. Its about improvement of yourself. But otherwise Graham you're the man. Thanks for the support
ArodProduction 3 years ago 4
totally agree about what you said apart from the opympic sport and as you said parkour is for everyone so pull on your trainers and get outside and start training and better yourself always believe.

lilstriker94 3 years ago 2
it will never be an olympic event because us traceurs consider it a discipline not a competition. Also every sport has risks and us traceurs take precations to not hurt ourselves.

minidude45 3 years ago
i agree with most the things ya saying man.
but having it as an Olympic sport would totally annihilate and destroy parkour.
our community was built on support and non-competition, anyway i respect that your defending parkour, did a way better job of explaining bout it then truebluefaggot, we need more people like you around, you respect what we do and all.
anyway sweet vid!
Jonodabomb 3 years ago 3
Alot of stuff isn't safe, the best things arn't safe. it wouldn't be fun or challenging if you couldn't get hurt, and it also wouldn't be impressive to anone watching. Watching "safe" parkour and free running is the equivilent to watching a 2 year old crawling around the living room.
