So a co worker of mine has gotten me into this lately. I was really interested in it for a while but I never actually got around to learning, You know that whole Imma land on my neck factor. anyway I was wondering what other peoples experiences with parkour and such was, mine so far has been amazing.
also random pic of a friend doing a backtuck >:F

I didn't even know what parkour meant until I saw videos of it (although i saw this a lot before). I never got into it personally actually, since I was a bit worried about hurting myself lol. It looks quite cool, though. Someone who used to work at my place is into that a lot.
-
same here never really knew what it was until i was told by a friend
also me practicing a front flip
(sorry for the audio >.> <.<)
-
ooh, this stuff is fun.
my parents neighbourhood has lots of washes (artificial gulleys to prevent flash flooding causing damage. they have sloped, concrete sides and usually have perpendicular walls at the tops), so we grew up running around in those a lot, running up and jumping off the sides, hopping the walls, and things like that. we also had a fairly large park with lots of sand, which was great for swinging around on things and climbing poles.
much like that since then, though, and am too tall for easy front and back flips. )=
EDIT:
oh, but there is this, i guess:
-
i beg to differ on the flips if you can tuck well all you need to do is make sure you get some good hight :P
EDIT: welp id say you would do just fine with flipping and stuff. lol
also that is the worst way to roll >.<
-
On a more serious note Shmibs is it me or you look like Rcfreak0?
-
also now that i think about it shmibs i know those things your talking about. i wish we had some around here. awesome for double kongs...dangerous tho.
-
I have a friend who does a lot of parkour, like all the flips over walls, running up walls, dives and rolls over stuff. Its pretty insane what he does lol and quite too watch :)
-
Always wanted to learn parkour.
-
Oh I just read half the first post and thought it was talking about "planking" but seems it's something much more acrobatic. ;)
Does seem pretty dangerous,
Psst... If people have died from "planking" this could be even more risky...
-
LOL this is much more dangerous than planking BUT its a helluva lot more fun :D
-
Just don't get hurt Geekboy1011 (especially your neck/back)! I would hate to learn that something really bad happened to you one day D:
-
lol i wont thats why i practice at the gym :P unlike my friend in the first post XD
-
Lol ok. That's good at least. I just mean try to be careful to not go overboard once you aren't practicing though. :P (Like some people skating). And don't quit calcs either O.O
-
wouldent dream of quiting calcs. and yeah no i know my limits i aint gonna push them...last thing i need right now are doctor bills >.<
-
Yeah that too. I always forget in USA health care isn't free x.x (not that it is over here anymore, but at least it's much less expensive)
-

-
