If you aren't progressing & evolving you are becoming stagnant & you'll die...with that in mind I think competition is a good thing for Parkour, its another level where you can test yourself - after-all, competition is an obstacle in everyday life of which every single living organism on the planet must be ready for..whats more real than that? What is more problematic than the struggle to survive? That's why the competition side is important & will continue to gain importance.
Furthermore, in regards to competition threatening to dilute the message & meaning behind Parkour...that is, no offense, complete nonsense. A competition is an event, it has no emotion, no motive, no desire, no sentient ability within itself, either physical or mental. Keeping the meaning alive is down to the individual athletes that participate in Parkour, irrespective of whether they do it competitively or recreationally, Its our job to spread the message & keep the essence alive.
art of motion definatly is a good idea and all but it shuddnt be a competition because parkour was never about being the best and never should be because then the true lessons behind it and the meanings behind it get lost. cool flips and corks and all but i think the idea of a competition is ruining the art, parkour is becoming a sell out and its killing the true parkour
@musiq1281 Thats because parkour wasn't meant to be a competition and it's suppose to be for recreational purposes. to overcome your fears and find solutions t your problems. Not to make money from it with competitions...
@xxshadow4xx actuly ir was 2 make money... the french invented it so they could rob stores like banks and julers then be able 2 run away from cops saftly............ no your fact's b4 speeking buds
@decheater64 the world is your playground bro... think outside the box
and use anything you can as an obstacle... example; to practice precision
I used the squares on a sidewalk... or to practice vaults I used a bike rack or anything of that nature... look on google for groups or gyms in your area
for example.... JumpUtah is great if your in utah, they have jams every tuesday
night and classes at Arete' Gymnastics (found through google)
@DeterminationParkour Aha thanks for the advice :) I never said I don't try, in fact I'm going out right now, but I just wish I had more to work with... Aww well, I can always do wall runs; those are my specialties
@skybite95 That's like saying BMX or surfing or skateboarding aren't sports. It's just semantics. Red Bull do good by promoting stuff like this, BC One and Circle of Balance. I ride flatland BMX and it you could apply the same philosophy there. No other company gives enough of a shit about these sports to promote them and show people what it's all about. If the best of the best in these disciplines choose to participate in these comps and help promote their sport, who are you to denigrate it?
Agree! David Belle, which I should remember, was one of the Founders of this Discipline, has put very clear that Parkour wasn't made to compete, it's just a Free Style. Moreover, I think we all need to remember how this started; as "L' art du placement" (The Art of Pleasure). For this reason, you won't ever see David Belle or Sebastien Foucan in such competitions.
I know this might not going to work, but i'll still try. If you would LIKE my comment and go tjek out my video, that would help me a lot. Please go tjek it out, and keep parkour free from competition! thanks, you will not regret it
Well, if you want to make it as competition you would have to make it more relacionated to parkour...
In the other words, just make an competition were the traceurs would to go from place A to place B fastest as it possible... with obstacles ofc. (if you got any more ideas just reply plz.)
Parkour was founded by the father of David Belle who designed it to be all about getting OUT of a place fast, efficient or in a very challenging way. Although the base is still the same, many traceurs now train to explore the limits of the body and mind within parkour as David Belle meant it. It doesn't always include getting from A to B.
Free running is more about exploring limits of the body and mind to make unique and almost impossible stunts rather than efficient moves.
@Naruto67ful if you think the meanings will be destroyed, then why are you watching competitive freerunning?
Also Ryan Doyle said that freerunning or parkour is expressing yourself and you heard tim say its more representing yourself well and this is just a collection of people representing themselves they might be expressing themselves through competition.
.........why is there always an argument over what parkour and freerunning on these videos? no they arent the same parkour is just getting from point a to point b as quickly and efficiently as possible while freerunning is about getting from one point to another as creatively as possible and to the person who said its just acrobatics off of boxes........there were bars
Everyone should stop hating and just enjoy the video and enjoy the fact that this kind of thing is happening. It's bringing People together to do what they love and to help others. I wouldn't be even learning parkour if there wasn't videos like these and comps like this. Just have fun and enjoy it.
I would just like to see a speed contest. Basically a race in an obstacle course based on some post-apocalyptic urban setting. Have thm run through chernobyl maybe lol
VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY GOOD
