Video Essay: Jumping, Rolling, Vaulting Over It

[rghgnmbk]

i like that shirt :D

[lordie484854]

No offence to Irish architects but here in Ireland we have hardly anything where say theres a ladder onto like a shed so you can jump off and our playgrounds are like really safe... so no parkour for me unless I search really hard!

[Sylar000000]

What if you have no way of finding buildings like this in a walking distance? I don't live in the urban area and probably most people who want to do parkour don't either. So what do I do?

[Mystgun]

maybe you have a playground or something near your house or maybe your house has different things that you could use. you dont need buildings like this. Parkour just means you get from one place to another... with style

[Sylar000000]

Hmm. Kinda hard running around the neighborhood. Unless I can do really advance tricks I won't be doing much other than running. I know a big tree near the frontier of the neighborhood but I'm afraid that is someone else property and probably shouldn't be bouncing off of it. lol :P

[Mystgun]

then maybe you should move? lol

[Delmers]

whats the difference between parkour and free running? Or urban ninja..what's the exact term for this "sport"...or activity whichever.

[thatparkourdude]

@Delmers First of all it's not a sport. Sports are competitive and Parkour was NEVER made to be a competitive thing. Parkour is a discipline. Like a Martial art. You do it for yourself....

Parkour is getting to a place quickly and efficiently and free running is getting to a place whilst expressing yourself at the same time. Parkour says RUN!!!!! While freerunning says RUN after I do a corkscrew off of this picnic table.

[Digiscat]

@thatparkourdude And do a double back-flip while spinning, and after I roll do 5 front flips, and then break down and boogie! :D

[HaloBounce]
