The New Yorker Festival: Parkour by David Belle

[coolcoco55]

david belle is french invented parkour is david belle I m fench cool david belle!=D il a inventer le parkour

[JShamw0w]

Where is this at?

[JohnB5304]

This so called parkour started in the streets of New City and many other New York areas like Syracuse back in the 1960's this anit nothing new, just like everything else people claiming they invented it like rap, Breakin, jazz,rockin roll style and Vernacular you name this nothing new.

[ORTprod]

That's pretty silly honestly. Using him as inspiration is good but just to better is an immeasurable goal and based on superficial ideals.

[diaoxxx]

there shldn be any competition in parkour or maybe there ISNT any.. because when u reach an obstacle its not u against him.. its u against urself

[VaioStreams]

Well put

[03031997]

I hope you enjoy Dissapointment

[urbanmovements09]

but parkour and freerunning isnt about being better than someone else its about expresing your iner peace through your own way of movement

[crazyseba666]

daimit I wish we had such an area to play in.

I feel like other countries have way better spots to do parkour...

[crazyseba666]

One thing is truly great about this vid.

David Belle says: I do this to feel good, not to impress others...

Parkour is all about having fun.

Not about being jealous and calling these guys "fake"

OR finding them cool.

The best you can do is start working out yourself and go try these tricks yourself and you'll finally know what this sport is so kickass!

[matroid9]

@crazyseba666 parkour is not a sport, but good comment :)

[TheParkour06]

@matroid9 Parkour your mother gay,,? you want me to fuck you fucking suck cock my!!!!

[matroid9]

@TheParkour06 what the fuck are you trying to say?

[fokus1000]

David Belle noob!

[BlacksVideos]

I can't believe that David jumped of school and trained something he didn't knew what it was.. And now, It is parkour and his art is getting more and more attention. Creds to Belle, Foucan and everyone else.

I hope he will visit Sweden but that won't probably happen

I admire him.

[MikeTDR]

holly $%^!! DUDE!! I WANTED TO GO I LIVE IN NJ!! BUT I KNEW THAT HE WAS IN NY ONE WEKE LATER DANG!! !!!!

[SkyInHeritor]

hes not even the best ive seen better

[minimattm]

a little kid asked him to do a flip when questions were being asked.

and ps you're a asshole.

[SkyInHeritor]

he is fucking gay first he's dissing flips and at the end you see him doing a backflip with 100 people around him 2 impress

[cloud160]

your're retarted. he does the flips because people want to see them. and he "disses" flips? no he doesn't he was just explaining the basis of parkour aka no flips or unneccsary movments.

[NYPKLazer]

He's never dissed flips. He has a background in Gymnastics, he's always been doing flips. He stresses that PK is about efficiency, A to B as fast as possible. But he also stressed having fun. And a kid asked for that flip. Judging by the angle, I was about 10 feet to the left of this camera.

[SkyInHeritor]

man ofcourse youl see a fire fighter do flips while saving someone whos almost gonne be cooked alive

[Backflip13]

I don't know if you are aware. but David Belle posted this video in his blog!

hah thats pretty cool

[Backflip13]

I don't know if you are aware, but David Belle posted this videos in his blog!

haha thats pretty cool

[minimattm]

wat blog and where how can i see it? Thats pretty cool.

[TraceurZeno]

Great video, and well done to all who took part! btw... that is the second time I have heard DB saying flips are fun, but Parkour is about being direct... "After all the freestyle stuff, because you feel good and having fun. Never forget what's is essential. You are never going to see a firefighter, who is going to jump into a building to save someone, is not going to be doing flips and all that..." "Be direct... To choose the shortest path... And that is what is really important"

[ManyMovements]

Damn Zeno your everywhere XD

[TraceurZeno]

;)

Berlin tomorrow LOL

[ManyMovements]

Haha comedy, come to Aberdeen instead :)

[TraceurZeno]

I am honestly going to Berlin tomorrow for 4 days.

I will see you when you come to Glasgow, and yes we will pop up to Aberdeen this year, hopefully in the summer.

Zeno

[ManyMovements]

Good stuff :) pm me on how tht goes (if its for trainin)

[OtakuTraceurs]

Belle is my idol ^^

[minimattm]

i'm going to amsterdam and munich in may can't wait... i'm gunna actually have an entire day in amsterdam that i'm devoting to pk. where are you guys from? goin to europe to pk is a big deal cause i'm from the US connecticut specifically.

[TraceurZeno]

I am from Glasgow, Scotland, UK

Great to hear you are going to Amsterdam.

I have no idea how big PK is in Amsterdman, Holland, but I am sure you will enjoy yourself. Maybe you should check out parkour dot net and see if you can meet up with the local Traceurs.

Drop me a message and let me know how you get on Matt.

Take Care man

Zeno

[ManyMovements]
