Parkour

[4LAO]

Just curious if anyone here does some Parkour? It's a lovely time.

 

[Agrajag]

Hah, yeah I do. This was a surprise to see.

Oh man awesome! I just had a huge jam in Portland. Like 17 people total showed up. It was a great time, and we got some badass footage. Not enough for a video, but definitely some great group shots. Where are you from perhaps?

Woodland Hills, a little suburb of Los Angeles in Southern California. I only really got into PK earlier this year, around April. I do it with a couple friends for fun and exercise. Nothing too major.

Just google parkour. I guess "free-running" was the term most advertised in america.

I cant really explain it.

I guess it's just running, without anything stopping you. Using the most efficient ways to get up and over anything in your way. Literally anything.

I just started this year too. But I've had the fucking time of my life doing it! It's seriously amazing, and is an extreme workout on your entire body as well. I love it man.

huh, I've seen those videos and thought they were some kind of graffiti/urban art form thing.

 

[4LAO]

Naw. It came from France. There's no graffitti in France, only Eiffel Towers and weird hats.

That was uncalled for !

That dude on the video is pretty impressive... Just watching him makes me feel tired...
But it makes him look like the missing link between man and monkey.

 

[AndICried]

there's loads of graffiti in france, usually of superior quality.

that is some prince of persia shit right there

 

[Barista_Dot]

that is some prince of persia shit right there

I fully agree with that.

I didnt know people could do that shit.

impressive....but kind of weird.

 

[xfer]

i didn't mean graffiti literally like paint on the wall, but rather part of that vague area of culture.

 

[4LAO]

Well I thought you meant human graffitti. Where you take people's bone dust, and spray it against walls.

But Parkour is really something amazing. I just cant get over it. It's the new masturbation!
