Pocket Shot #5 - 'A Ghostly Swim'

[RJPBurtonBoards]

Getting from A to B? How about, having fun?

[SafeNSure]

I think the parkour in this vid is excellent and the acrobatics thrown in between are awesomely done.

It's obvious that they could have gone just for efficiency if they would have wanted!

This vid wasn't labelled "example of perfect parkour", no? They could have thrown in a dive in the pond and a swim too, lol!

Let's try to know well what we are doing (and saying) at any given time, but that doesn't mean being small- or close-minded, IMO.

@SafeNSure Well said Georgio!

[djkccasem]

i love it

[RebelFighter2017]

The video turned out really nice. I like how the ice cream man's bell was still in the vid even after all your effort to keep him out. Still great though.

[sjmanikt]

you numbskulls miss the point entirely. does it really feel that great to tell people "that's not parkour?"

I've yet to see any one of these naysayers post their own video or take the time to "do it right."

Question for you: why not save the critique for yourself, and focus on your own abilities rather than calling other people out? Do you think pulling other people down somehow makes you better?

Jesus. I should know better than to comment on Youtube.

[TylerNewmanPk]

@sjmanikt your exactly right, at the end of the day we all practice the 'art of movement'; whether its parkour or not.

[lethalbeef]

Nice, looks like an excellent training spot.

[itchysp]

i feel like all these vids go away from the meaning of parkour...point a to point b, not go in circles jumping over small walls over and over, thats a different sport entirely

[AndyPK94]

thats freerunning for you

[KieranMPK]

you could argue that these techniques could come in handy at one point, and having the knowledge of your surroundings and being able to navigate them efficiently, is parkour

and also what if a bear was chasing you and you were trying to confuse it instead of outrunnin it :P

[lethalbeef]

But they're not - sure they're using the same obstacle, but they're doing it each time in different ways, to show variation and adaptation to the environment. Remember that Point A to Point B usually implies Point C, D, and E in between, even if it's not all in a straight line.

[122092aka]

well firstly they pulled of those trick about 20 seconds in so its free running not parkour, and that means expressing your self through whatever means, and he does realy nice flow in all of his pocket shots.

[itchysp]

parkour and free runing are the same exact thing

[122092aka]

lol oh are you mistaken.

[Theryanator37]

I feel like people should enjoy movement for what it is and not worry about definitions because in the end they're still improving themselves. You can train inefficient movements to help yourself become more efficient.

[PreshPromAsia]

i just love hearing the sound of the foot touching the ground when they fly! lol DOPE

[itchysp]

although, that means they could do better, if it were a good smooth landing, u shouldn't hear anything

[AscentPk]

i know those guys! sexy (i meant the movement ;P )

[DaKineUpdate]

Superb, Mr. Orosco.
