[FreeRunner123456]

[Janko172]

good goood

[grantflip]

nothing in that video really inpressed me, i think i could of done each of these, it was just jumping over things using your hands, jumping a few gaps, but none to crazy, im sure those guys were capable of tricking too why don't they add that in too?

[Brandiole]

Because thats not what parkour is about. Watch a video called Pilgrimage, If you're a real traceur, you'll watch it. x

[laugholot]

you know why they dont trick. because there better then that. htey dont make up for there parkour with flips. these guys are awesome. just cause you can do a flip doesnt make you good

[grantflip]

making your body to rotations is much harder then jumping over something with your hands, parkour and free running are much cooler when the people can at least do a few flips mixed with their thing, and i know im much better

[laugholot]

but thats not parkour thats free running theres a difference

[StreetNinjaRunner]

watch david belle, he hardly ever flips, but you can't tell me what he does isn't cool.

[tyleb121]

Just don't get it do ya buds. They don't throw flips into any of this because they don't need to. They train parkour, not free-running or tricking. It doesn't matter about being "cool". If your so self concious about people thinking your cool go ahead, do flips. But think of a real world situation where you can use that? Do you watch ufc vids and post that it would be cool if they throw a flip in there? I doubt it. Why? Cause its USELESS! Parkour is a self defense, not a spectacle. Think!

[grantflip]

no i was not saying it makes the person more cool when they do parkour and free running im saying people who watch parkour or free running vids would find it much cooler to watch and enjoy if theyre were a few flips in the free running, if you showed random people on the street comparing 2 equal versions, PK & FR with flips vs none flips, with flips would get more wow effect and respect from people and how many trikrs actually use not enough room for rest of it not worth it

[tyleb121]

You don't get it... Parkour is not about showing off, its a self defense. If your running for your life your not thinking about how "cool" you look. Your comparing 2 different things... PK isn't striving for shock and awe from people watching, its about bettering yourself to be abel to react in a dangerous situation.

Research before making stupid comments...

Moron..

[Dusk3030]

Parkour is a movement, not a self defense..

[Drazha]

which started in vietnam as a form of defense. Instead of choosing to fight they would "flee".

[hyack77]

It was started in France to save people from Danger, it would be a quick and efficient use a travelling to the wounded or endangered person.

[Drazha]

if you track its roots all the way back it was invented by a french soldier in vietnam during the war. Later on he returned and parkour was officially reborn

[Mp52Mp10]

you dipshit you just don't get it FLIPS ARE NOT PARKOUR. K so think of it this way you're running from a guy with a machete, are you going to stop and do a flip when you can save a precious few seconds by just jumping over something?

FLIPS ARE F***ING USELESS. ALL IT DOES IS ATTRACT ATTENTION AND LOOK IMPRESSIVE.

[grantflip]

i know flips are not parkour, thats why they have the words gymnastics or tumbling, and attacting attention and looking impressiveisnt a bad thing, and most people that are athletic enough to trick are athletic enough to run jump gaps climg walls, and yeah, and its not like your actually ever going to chased and have to actually use this skill, if you ever do, its because you decided to

[Mp52Mp10]

Same goes for fighting. Why do you think people learn martial arts or boxing? It's not like they're ever going to use it, right?

Probably for the most part. However, since it's evident that you've never even tried real parkour, you can't say that it's not fun. It gets you up and running and fit.

And it's really peaceful to know that if you get in a fight, you either have the option to run on fight.

[sampatrick]

lol these situations do prop up in real life and when they do and you want to run away, having the ability to climb buildings is more than useful.

[vlasevmovement]

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!!­!!

[ruhtraeel]

I sort of agree with you there, but if a flip helps keep your momentum going, the it's parkour.

[solofire1]

your right, i set a log on fire w/ gas lol outside of a store by my house and used parkour to climb the building and hide from cops, its not like im gonna flip away like a fucking panzie

[utopiapraxis]

I like the message. I'm curious to know how people feel about parkour appearing in major motion pictures in general, or even independent action films?

[M0U53Y]

The reason i disagree with the team remark, and only the remark about teams is because i believe training with a team helps you learn.

You learn things from the people around you, especially if they are at a higher level than you or perhaps familiar with a technique that you are not. it's also more fun and a lot safer to be with friends when you train.

[tyleb121]

thats why there are communities.. teams promote competition, which is what parkour is against. when you have teams rather than communities it also makes it seem exclusive.

[M0U53Y]

The whole idea behind Team Smooth is to show how "parkour teams" really destroy the discipline.

And here we are watching TEAM Smooth?

Hypocritical much? :/

[tyleb121]

Its a parody...

[iferrit]

I think you guys should skip the philisophical stuff and just focus on making more parkour videos.

[FemaleFreedomSeeker]

W.O.W!

Amazing.

You´re really good!

[jogotehman]

Whateva... The parkour is good anyway :P

[glasscargold]

And thats exactly what you are seeing! Fool

WHy do you even put comments like this, why not just go train yourself.

[RadicalNotion]

i am seeing them show-off...they are claiming to parody groups but they are the very thing they pretend to hate. and no moron, i am not confusing their parody with being a group like the one they are parodying versus just making fun of such groups as you foolishly think.

[RadicalNotion]

by doing their own training montage they go against everything they say in the description. they tear down everyone else but claim they are the TRUE parkour practitioners?? gimme a break. it is hilarious how they try to make it sound legit by filming it at SFU. idiots.

[glasscargold]

Thats EXACTLY why they do it you idiot. They are mocking teams etc..

[RadicalNotion]

no moron. That is why they did the first one called Team Smooth Vancouver. Why do they keep making videos? I guess you stupidly had the wool pulled over your eyes. Well the best revenege is knowing that you are a completely gullible fool. hey, can you send me $500 to place a bet. It is a sure thing...I will win $2000 and send you half. Trust me. hahaha.

[glasscargold]

Thats EXACTLY why they do it you idiot. They are mocking teams etc..

[RadicalNotion]

did you read their own description of this you faggot??? I quote... " But Team Smooth is also a teaching initiative. We try to really show good, well controlled movements, so that viewers see responsible well trained athletes"

read it before you comment and look like an idiot. IDIOT

[RadicalNotion]

[sampatrick]

im sorry but i really do not get where your coming from

[RadicalNotion]

instead of sounding dumb, why don't you look into parkour.

[kotich1988]

great video!

[radiohead1816]

thanks for anoth great vid guys. keep it up.

p.s. everyone needs to read that description too. very important that people know what parkour is 'really' about.

[icyape]

good job!!!

[Semmao]

awesome pal :D :) someday i'll be the fruit too xD ^^

[nsG0]

LOOOOOOOOOOL fking serious in the intro, and then,,,,fruit xD :D holy shit:D<3

[eddiesniper]

Good work team smooth, keep it up.

Good to see your still going well in Van City Tom ;op

[lindersi]

yeah ia ma all the time wondering who will find out the truth behind se movement and tell it to se hungry ears of se people on se street...

where do we come from? Where can we jump on/over? Where do we get the best schnitzel??

[IAmRebel]

nice video, but about the video from "parkour teams" i think, i hope that most of traceur who film themselves makes video for having counsil and other constructive critics, not just for felling big or for business..but sure there is someone who wants to earn by parkour image..(sorry for my ugly english!XP)

[smoness]

you guys have really good technique in everything you do. the only thing i can suggest is to take off with split feet for cat pass/kong/sat de chat. a split foot take off makes it easier to continue motion but on concrete, a double foot take off slightly destroys your momentum. try to learn it with both feet in front too, so that when you're running, it doens't matter which foot is in front when you take off and it will be very smooth still. keep up the good work team smooth! :D

[crossfire1]

Good advice, but I know these guys and I'm pretty sure they're aware of that.

[JackMacPhail]

they are they taught me the split foot technique

[shonenbatman411]

how do you learn this stuff any way?

is there some lesson you take or you just imitate what you see?

[smoness]

shonenbatman411 , it is better not to just copy movement in parkour, but to try and understand the movement. if you don't have a guide in parkour, you will have to watch other videos of skilled tracuers and try to understand why they do things the way they do. you will learn to do parkour quicker if you know what you're trying to do and why, rather than just copying.

[shonenbatman411]

cool.. that sounded kinda deep.. heh heh thanks

[hihi233]

lol at 6:24 that guy in the background was laughing at you but very good underbars im almost as good as you guys but not yet

[crossfire1]

LOL I'm not sure if you're trying to say that the "guy in the background" is just some random person, but he's one of the guys in the video, just to be clear.

[noxteryn]

Funny stuff!

Great movement!

By the way, I just LOVED that dive roll!

[fishbonezz]

do you have movies with dim monk?

[Doiler]

You guys are good :) I wanna see more :P

[carl114CZ]

good training

[NoSolePK]

I gotta say, I'm hard pressed to find something in there that I don't like. Normally long vids lose my attention quickly, but the creativity kept me watching. Plus it's very clear that you guys train regularly because your moves are so clean. Your form is amazing!

[BoostLecortez10]

Nice clean movement great entertainment. P.S Bananas r nicer than mango and oranges :p

[chadwick82]

I <3 TEAM SMOOTH

[SadisticxParkour]

I like the whole idea of your team, you know the whole, not pushing limits just to impress basement dwelling nerds. You guys have real talent.

[trogdorfiend]

what's the song in the second half of the vid?

[Plikx]

Please check out my vid! :D

[DeeXeS]

Amazing...

[jusres]

97motocross97

the song is: My Favourite Mutiny

Artist: The Coup ft. Black Thought & Talib Kweli

[99benmoore]

EPIC video, I can't tell you guys how much I enjoyed this =]

[ghostvault]

Rotten fruit eh!?!? you guys are discriminatory against afro canadians LOL

[YonderAnaconda]

So basically you do like people to be taping themselves for show, still tape yourself for show?

Anyway, always liked your videos.

[YonderAnaconda]

*meant don't

[LazyShadow]

Well put res... not only are we NOT a parkour or freerunning team... we're a media organization that deals with more forms of movement such as tricking and bboying along with parkour and free running.

[PanthaAJW]

really enjoyed this video, unique movements, control.

i read the description, and i like your ideas and concepts.

[stupid233]

Cool! i wish i was there to watch!

[zephrah]

Thanks for the thrill!!! Awesome!!!!!

Luvs ya!!!

Zephrah

[jusres]

btw I do about 80% of the video and editing work for Zanshin Studios in Vancouver including Team Smooth. What I say and do doesn't represent the rest of the group. Though we may at times appear as a team I assure you it is one of our main objectives right now to better define what we do, and release projects that better reflect that. Expect to see series, stories, and characters in the near future.

[jusres]

Zanshin Studios is a media organization. There's also Zanshin Action Team that does performance work, but it's mostly martial arts and acrobatic related. I don't know how Hybrid Movement defines themselves, but I've never had anything to do with them. The guys in the Bahamas kind of organize themselves as an action team too, but then that's also something I don't have anything to do with.

Bottom line is we've never called ourselves a parkour or free running team. Do the knowledge.

[IrkusPK]

Maybe too much underbars but I especially liked your rolls and long presicions.

[Coreysmotherisfat]

"The whole idea behind Team Smooth is to show how "parkour teams" really destroy the discipline. There are so many groups out there eager to show off all the skills they've achieved." Parkour Teams, What do you think Zanshin Studios is?? Or Hybrid Movement.

[97motocross97]

oops my bad i meant whats the name of the song when they start doing actual parkour not the one while they're training in the weight room

p.s very good video

[97motocross97]

the one that starts at 2:25

[ZanshinStudios]

the song is: My Favourite Mutiny

Artist: The Coup ft. Black Thought & Talib Kwel

[97motocross97]

thanks

[97motocross97]

awesome, whats the first song??

[Hatrix123]

Little ham and eggs coming at ya :)

[Hobochop]

I've gotten a bit jaded with the typical parkour videos (one move after another, and nothing else), and this is exactly what was needed. TS2 is the rightful successor to Inspire in my mind - you guys seem to excel in making videos with meaning and substance. The more you watch the more details you notice, and there are so many layers to this video that are beneath the surface. Anyway, awesome video :D

[Reim59]

<3 Team Smooth

[giantgiantgiant]

loving the team smooth shit. Nice masks as well.
