[DarkGuitarKid]

Is this like rednecks parkour

[tojiro12]

to everyone saying there better than the people in the video, I say who cares! congratulations your better than them but what good does that do you? your missing the point, the spirit, the goal if your only concern and reason for doing parkour, or for that matter if one of the reasons, is boosting your pride and self image. find a new sport if thats your reasoning.

[MonsterMikeMonster]

worst cameraguy ever

[timmulholland]

everything in this is so small

[TheWolf857]

awsome im from rusk tx and ive been there to that park. check out my video called wade watson tx parkour.

[radiohead9193]

this is so cool

[reneliiv1]

hi i am an 11 year boy from estonia,europe and i have parkoured now for 4 1/2 years and i can do all tricks and stuff and this video wasn't realy parkour kinda of like gymnastics and few easy tricks and then a lot of jumps.

[ProdutionXXL]

wow u guys suck tyrone biggums ballz im 17 and im better than all yall...............good vid =)

[eboy2422]

ive gone to one of those parks for years! heh.. noe that i thnk about it, it could be a great place for parkour

[ghost89parkour]

siete tutti de freerunners americani di merda,perche' non capite che questo e' un bel raduno,doce non serve dimostrare agli altri chi fa il trick piu' cazzuto.coglioni

[jvaio2003]

I agree that they are good but I am curious about whether they can traverse more realistic obstacles. From what I understand, parkour is used to get over all obstacles in an emergency situation or to gain the most ground quickly. These people in the video are just sticking to the same place and not really moving over long distances!

[cypher919]

They're training, fool.

[jvaio2003]

@cypher919

Training! The national jam is comparable to skateboarding's X games. The "training" should be done before this! Fool! If the national jam is done just for training. Then, that is ridiculous!

[jvaio2003]

@cypher919

dude, the title of the video is misleading. I thought this was the actual jam itself. Well, even if there training, wouldn't it be better if they did some realistic stuff.

[cypher919]

For sure they did more than what's shown in the video. The video just shows people practicing, that's all.

[dirtysouthma]

hay if you want to just look up free running same thing they rune all over

[wyodaniel]

I take it you aren't a traceur, Jvaio. Yes, parkour is about running to beat hell and getting over anything in your way, but when traceurs get together to practice, that's not what we do 100% of the time. We'd be completely burnt out in 15 minutes flat! We focus on practicing certain movements over and over again, and then practice linking together several moments fluently. We're training our bodies TO be able to run to beat hell and get over anything in our way.

[jvaio2003]

Dude, I run the rock and roll San Antonio every year and still after every run I do PT and Sparing sessions. If I can do that, then long distance parkour shouldn't be a problem!!

[dakaodo]

@jvaio2003 You're right. Watch Northern Parkour's strength vid 2; it reminded me we can all still improve a *lot*. Basic vaults, sprints, or long-distance running are each not too difficult to do. They are very difficult to do well (or else we wouldn't be so impressed by Olympic athletes). Taken together, they are *very* difficult to do safely and precisely, in a row. I for one only train 2x / week, so my limit is 450 vaults at an easy jog, in 10- / 5-second sets of 10.

[raffcum]

i do parkour it is about moving in a way you would never move be4

[SuperJayy15]

thats because its training

simple movements that you have to perfect in order to be able to use most of them in combinations while getting away or covering the most ground

once you perfect the single movements you play pk tag to learn how to use the simple moves in combinations

this is just training

not to mention pk tag is impossible to get on camera because there are multiple points that you'd have to be in order for it to be a good video

-Jayy-

Movementbreakers

[dotz2k8]

theyre shit look up belfst parkour jam

[brunomauro94]

parkour isn't about being shitty or good. it's an artstyle

[mrm1291]

you still can be a good painter and a bad one.

or a good musician and a bad one.

or a good parkour runner and a bad one.

[mattpowers84]

frist of all there opinons so some one is goning to like your music or art second Parkour is a movement not an art its the way YOU move so you CANT have bad movement

[bltsandwich567]

u mean freerunning is more of an art where parkour is getting from a to b as efficient as possible

[PostalOnNoobs]

i live in humble/atascocita tx anyone wanna go do some parkour just send me a message

[1nferno13]

Plz Comment on my video, Crazy Jay ZG im 13 and have added my first video? plz?

[gmerit1]

These guys are probably really good but why were they mostly practicing balance at a parkour jam?

[aidon121]

hey is there anyone who does parkour or freeruns in victoria texas? i would like more people to do these things with if u live here just comment back or somthing

[carter101111]

ive been training with these guys for 7 months and they are pretty impressive

though hes right its not ment to show off or be competitive

its ment to better improve your self

be strong to be usefull

[Driv3r14]

im better than these guys

[linkinparkfan103]

good for you. if you wanna talk tough maybe you should put up some videos of you doing something.

[Driv3r14]

i will as soon as i get a camera,

and when i do i will let you know so you know im not lying.

[isitaspider123]

Dude, nevermind its not worth explaining to you...

[ASkyfiOriginal]

Hey, Driv3r14

You say your better? you need a camra? I checked your profile, you have a camra, you can film stuff.

Though I doubt that you are better, because you are only 12, and these guys at TXPK have been training for years.

So...lets see what you got.

[JohnMc1994]

ok then parkour isnt a competition you freak your just some skinny quier boy
