[Arianneex]

why are people arguing instead of just watch and enjoy the movies?? Cool vid, cool scene of climbers, in Holland we do stuf like that alone or with 2, lucky Germans

i guess i do more buildering than parkour but i can still get up things fast and jump of crazy high stuff, so is there something in between

[quietdude]

Very true, flyingcricket. Parkour and buildering are two very different activities. But personally I do buildering as one of the ways I condition for Parkour. Its also just a fun way to challenge myself.

[flyingcricket1001]

Parkour does involve climbing, but this (buildering) style focuses much more on technical and finger-strength centered routes. Parkour climbing makes more use of large, easy to grab holds, so you can get up and over the obstacle quickly with acrobatic moves thown in. Buildering doesn't really earn you style points like parkour as much as props from friends that ask "you seriously climbed that?" Woaah! It's a different challenge basically.

climbing and buildering do have style points but in a more subtle way. Like doing dynos or stylized statics, or finding holds no one else thought of.

just for record aswell....parkour has nilt to do with style, just the practicality anf fluidity of the movement and the overcoming of any obstical.......free running however is acrobatic and mainly for style

[jaekn]

Parkour has a lot to do with style.. You may be doing it wrong... For the record.

[dominicluke]

parkour is nothing about style, or flair..........prehaps if you practitioned properly instead of simply commenting on youtube, you mgiht know this......

and it is unlikely i am doing it wrong as there is no way really to do it wrong..... if you add flips it becomes free running, and is therefore 'wrong' but in reallity it just ends up being really badly practitioned parkour

...just for the record =P

[jaekn]

Style is inherent in most anything.. Especially free running, climbing, parkour ... sports or activities in general. Hell, even walking and normal running is tied with style. Because humans are drawn to that which is aesthetically pleasing

[dominicluke]

that is true, but completely irrelivent to this conversation...........

i state again, parkour is not a movement based on style or any other aesthetics that as humans we may envision.....it is a movement based upon practicality

[jaekn]

It is totally relevant. You've gone from "parkour has nilt to do with style" -to, "parkour is not a movement BASED on style." It may seem like a technicality, but there is a huge difference. You're not restating, you're changing the original premise.

[dominicluke]

ok...both of my statements are still correct, on is a development from the other,'not a movement based on style' can come from ' nilt to do with style' they are both simular statements but are technically different. your comment is still irrelevent,you have stated style is inherent in anything........but it should not be inherent in parkour....a practitioner of parkour will not,should not consider style when deciding how to do whatever the movement it is they are doing, or about to do......

I believe buildering is one aspect of free running, pakour makes this sport seem clunky in comparison

[WasabiFootSore]

Parkour may seem like it has aspects of buildering in it. It doesn't. We may use some sort of style to make it look like buildering but parkour is parkour. It's not a sport either! It's all good though.

[Alucard721half]

Of course it has aspects, you are using your urban terrain to travel, end of story, and I realize they are very different, but similiar in a simple way, and a sport is an activy often competitive though parkour isnt meant to be, you can make it so. they are both sports.
