david belle, sebastien foucan

[Champiion3]

First of all, nobody can say who is better at parkour/ because it's not about that; in fact, both men, David and sebastion, have said that that parkour/freerunning is not about competing. As for who founded it, well I've practiced, unknowingly, since I was 4 as most of us have as a child and I knew nothing of parkour/freerunning. So if anything the two merely gave it direction. I do agree that David is more extreme than Sebastian but that means very little.

[sanfelipe007]

Nop this is not a sport is a dicipline and yes doesnt matter who is better David belle say it a lot of times and we are no criminals don't do something stupid making angry the cops that make people think that parkour is something of criminals ok

[SolidSnakeRules]

lol I like how you guys can attribute this stuff to David Belle when Jackie Chan was doing it in films when Belle was 4 years old.

[doomy1975]

@SolidSnakeRules Jackie Chan wasn't makin all this . And If you wanna talk about the past , Douglas Fairbanks did a lot more than Jackie Chan in 1920 .

[SolidSnakeRules]

@doomy1975 LOL WHAT? Douglas Fairbanks didn't do more than Jackie Chan. Not even close. Watch Jackie Chan's 80s Hong Kong movies. If all you've seen of Chan is Rush Hour/Shanghai Noon etc. you might not know.

[doomy1975]

@SolidSnakeRules You're not wrong I didn't see everything by jackie chan . But if it makes you laugh to talk about Douglas Fairbank it means you don't know him very much . I think Jackie Chan and David Belle were inspired by him and every generations , Jackie chan then David Belle add something more and now Daniel Ilabaca and others help the concept grow again .

[SolidSnakeRules]

@doomy1975 I was laughing at the notion that Douglas Fairbanks did more than Jackie Chan when it comes to stunts/parkour. The man jumped off a cliff and landed on a hot air balloon for gods sake

[mikebart70]

now theres some footage ive never seen...

would be nice to see these guys together again!

[freerunforrever]

actualy i think that sebastien found freerun and david belle parkour unlike CRISSPIROUT

[auhroy]

@freerunforrever nobody reely found parkour. it was there for decades, but david belle just revived it. he got the techniques n discipline from his dad Reymond Belle, who first developed these kinds of techniques during WWII.

[crissepiroth]

the thing is that david belle found parkour and sebastien just put some tricks that where known

[duciou95]

me again i forgot to say whatever who they are, they are both very good in what they do.

big respect to them

[duciou95]

hi!

the biggest difference between them is one have a big head(david) and the next one is very humble( sebastien)

that s it!!!!

[ParkouR5201]

im just gonna say that both of them founded each parkour and freerunning

[sockp123]

u can NEVER compare two equal people in Parkour...David Belle said: everyone is better than everyone in Parkour in any certain aspect of it

[Dylanshnizz]

david belles better

[spiderman5402]

no sebastien is

[ShuddupChip]

what is that giant concrete thing called?

[phyrorafa]

dame du lac

in evry, france

[bshjrf]

i agree with ParkourKid09... they are both a amazing sport or life style i love both of the sports and there is no reason for us to be fighting about them.

[ParkourKid09]

it doesnt matter who is better they are just tracuers/free runners just like us.

they may have more experiance but they love parkour just as we do.

[PKTN88]

thanx alot for the vid go check the one in my profile

[p4rkourboy999]

sebastien all the way? advid is amazing but seb is better

[wirraltraceur]

nah man david owns =P

[wirraltraceur]

well foucans a better free runner but david's a better traceur

[statix123456]

hey wats the difference between free runner and traceur?

[Yrian96]

free runners do mor flips when tracuers try to get from point A to point B in the most efficient way

[PKTN88]

david belle is the creator of le parkour and his art has meanings not like free running (which it's like skateboard)

[PKHaNzO]

parkour has been recorded in the 1920's.....

[kklein828]

Parkour is attributed to David Belle.

He is known as the founder and Sebastien Foucan is known as the co-founder, but the Sebastien is also known for founding free-running.

[mrchacko]

From everything I've been reading... it seems more like David Belle is attributed with creation; while Sebastion was able to bring more public attention to it.

[p4rkourboy999]

sebastien all the way? advid is amazing but seb is better

[p4rkourboy999]

sebastien all the way? advid is amazing but seb is better

[cmoun5]

it's in lisses

[isitsimonyesitis]

[shinkendoka]

[poomanshoo]

it's some where in france

it's calld the "DAME DU LAC"

[Teanuz1]

heroes

[rastamon77]

y the hell is everyone dissing sebastien foucan, he invented freerunning so wat, bell invented parkour, done. nothing wrong with that.

plus, personally i think freerunnings is better anyway, less rules, do what ever u want, it can still be a "life style"....

[MAYZO69er]

yea i no eh  sebastien foucan is my favourite free running is better

[SpasticLizard]

better? worse? just different...

[rastamon77]

yeah actully that is true

[MeatyLemon]

wow these guys both seem very young to be founders of their respective art anyone know their ages, love the song also

[096848741]

foucan is the founder of free running david belle founder of parkour, free running is like advanced parkour were u can do tricking

[claythefat]

nobody founded parkour people have bean doing the same thing forever  belle just gave it a name and made it popular

[Freetrick]

then all the others from Yamakasi continued without him. then they made the films called " Jump Britain" and " jump london " in that film they said that Sebastien foucan is The only founder of parkour! That's Wrong! David Belle made the bigest Part. And he is the " King Of parkour! :D

[Mitsybushi]

i agree david belle was the one who invented it then sebastien made it into free running

[Freetrick]

No foucan is no founder ! He's Just stealing the honor from david belle, foucan lives in england, i know they grew up together and had the team " Yamakasi " then they should make a film together called " Yamakasi " david belle refused to be on TV with parkour

[M4A1pwns]

foucans alrite but david pwns

[Lemonoverthere]

<3 david belle but foucan not so much

[jaycam63]

finally the video i ve always been looking for both of the founders in one!

[traceursebas]

Omg, foucan is no founder at all.

[RehGo]

yeah he is...

[wordthebird]

he is not the founder of parkour. Belle had already been doing parkour with other people before Foucan came along...in later years jump britian and jump london said Foucan was the founder, confusing pk and fr for a while, but he founded freerunning somewhat...
