I was thinking of making a free running vid in Bridgend we got bout 8 good recordings for it then tragically my friend tried a stunt from a bridge to a barrel roll on to a moving bus he miss timed it and hit the taxi behind the bus he is now parralized from the wast down I have not done free running in 2 years and I'm still a bit shaky even when I'm with friends doing wall flicks and speed flips :(

@zombroz95 Very sad to hear that. I really feel for your friend. I must admit, I don't know much about free running. I was lucky to have a team around me that did, so I could trust them that things would be done safely. Are you and your friends been offered any counselling? Perhaps it would help. I doubt your friend would begrudge you carrying on with the sport. Anyway, thanks for the comment and I wish you the best of luck in everything. Daf

Holy shit, that bridge she backflipped off is quite high, i've walked over it a few times but never thought of even jumping off it. Big up!

@UKTuTS Please don't try it though!! We had stunt coordinators and everything! There, I've said it. Thanks a lot for your comment and please check out my other vids.
