Parkour and Free Running

I should, but there's no good spots in my town.

And it's been pouring out today, not about to go out and lose my grip on something and fly into a cement wall, conveniently making an outline in the shape of my body.

Jumped over then rolled up. I dunno what you would call it in parkour cause we use a Korean term for it.

Just saw a ad on MTV for a parkour contest. didn't catch the time/date.

I like doing it just because I can. I like the rush. It feels like I'm being chased. I like the Chase!

Update: in the hospital fighting for my life after a failed roll from a 4-story building

Nah, still haven't tried, no time.

I had so much momentary respect for you right then, Quad.

Looks like a good way to make your body sweat.
But I don't see any of those here only bikers and the guys with skateboards or whatever you call them.

:]

Wow.

I'm hooked to this. I have so much motivation to try and do it just because it looks like so much fun, but I know that my motivation will probably crash after a few days of intense training... HOWEVER, I won't give up! I want to try this for good at least once... hope I don't fail... But seriously, I'm hooked.

I've seen too many fails that I never wanna attempt this...

Meh. Do it anyways. You'll love it. If you don't die.

had to quit :/. it started to hurt my martial arts training alot....mostly the failed tricks =_= , It really all fell apart when i tried to double backflip and only did 1 and 1/2...

Screw that excuse. I've done that fail a ton of times. I'm still going.
I tried some vaulting and jumping after i did some leg workouts and my legs collapsed. THAT was NOT fun.
Actually it was.

been there it aint fun. i only recently just started. but i cant fully get a well deserved workout in my city. the only is that there is an abandoned factory where we practice. but feel uneasy since im new. i dont see why security find this like mischevious behavior.

cause its freakishly easy to get injured or injure a bystander ,and lots of people who try free running and such tend to get cocky and do tricks WAY above their level cause they saw it on youtube

technically only those who see it as ( cool ) try to run at level their not at. im fit, yet i go at my pace at what i can handle. u make a good point though.

you said it..YOU find it fun lol. I'm no stranger to pain ,and I have no issue making mistakes in order to learn something I enjoy , but I just don't enjoy free running all that much , I used to do a lot of tricking , when I got more advanced in my martial arts training , so I thought I'd enjoy free running/parkour , but honestly it's just not for ME. If you like it awesome , but I'll stick to my XMA/MMA ty very much :P

A friend of mine keeps trying to get me to go to a XMA gym and another friend keeps trying to get me to go to an MMA gym. I wanna go to both, but I have no free time. Not during the school year anyways. I wish I had stuck with martial arts, but I wish I had started in Muay Thai or Jujitsu; more bad ass ones.

And yes. I find pain amusing. Very much so. I'm not a masochist, I more just laugh at pain.

Damn. I wish I could have the skills of Ezio and Altiare. I play those games constantly. I want to be able to free climb like that. I guess that's why I play them so much.

I do parkour, not serious with it, just like to run across and climbing around skate parks and such.
