Anybody heard of this, it is truely brilliant.

Its where people (its a sport) run, jump, flip, twist and manouvre in some type of way through the city, using objects and landmarks to run, jump off etc, very pleasant to watch.







They use everything, walls, tall buildings, rails, pillars, stairs, structure, scaffolding, everything. Urban gymnastics, amazing!

Simply jumping off of things is now a sport?!?! It looks more like a bunch of half-assed suicide attempts.

Anyhow, I could have gone pro as a kid. I was always jumping off things and hurting myself. Which explains a lot of my drain bramage.

Its not simply jumping off things. Its learning how your body moves and how to accomplish things.

Its also twisting and turning. Im not saying its the best ever, but its nice to look at and watch, although yeh it would look a bit freaky doing it on your own

Also Tony, the object is NOT to hurt yourself

So that is what parkour is!

That looks so fucking retarded. :x

I can assure you, "retarded" is one thing is isnt

..also, its starting to get popular in the States, China and continuing to grow in Europe

Another name for it is 'Free Running'

And it's so fucking retarded, I have never heard of it.

RETARDED!

What a waste of humanity.

Only because youre not skilled enough to do something as elegant as 'Free Running', dont mock.

It looks um.. interesting... i just hope they dont practice it here in Canada, because i don't want my healthcare dollars being wasted on stupidity.

They do go to classes to learn how to fall, grab and jump etc, but yeh i agree abit, they will undoubtedly hurt themselves, bit like Jackass, although thats more comedic...

Ah the art of free running. I done an long essay about it a few years back at school I think i remember it being 'created' in France by some young lads. Algren, wasnt there a documentry about tonight on tv?

Ah hello my fellow English buddy, yeh there was, on C4, pretty good documentary too, some of the things they do are brilliant, and quite death-defying too.

Did you watch it?

fecking stupid

So is your avatar

Blasphemy! That's like one of the best teen movie. They had a lesbian kiss and incest! It is one of the best teen movies IMO.

Cheers

if i wanna watch people jump off buildings i'll just pop in my steve-o don't try this at home dvds.

I would love for a new sport to be The Death Move. Everybody who partakes must do some sort of movement that will result in death. Jumping off tall buildings usually gets good grades, but simply shooting yourself results in a disqualification. Drowning depends on the amount of flailing. You know what they say, if you're going to die, you might as well die gracefully. Well, that's what I say, at least. And, this can get rid of any "extreme" sports "athletes", who think they can be idols. I can hear it now...

"Ah yes, he prepares himself for a long jump. Old Danny hails from Canada, a country that has yet to win a gold medal in this competition. He extends his arms, stretching a bit while he prepares. He is now running out onto the board, and he jumps! OH NO! He is flailing way too much. His head is heading straight for the concrete, and this will make for a terribly messy death. OHHH! Splat. Looks like his brains aren't the only thing to go splat, check out those horrendous scores. Better luck in your next life, Danny."

This is fuckin stupid. A bunch of dumbass's running around and jumping like idiots....This is NOT a sport

:? ......LOL!

now you actually think thats a sport!?

where the heck have you been lately? lol

i been very sick since new year! with fever and the flu! ........but im good now!
