Hello.

Does anyone here do Parkour?

I have been doing parkour for about 9 months to a year and love it.

Most of what I have done is strength training though.

Anyone else do Parkour or Freerunning?

I admire parkour and the people that do it but I can't athletics/gimnastics are something betod my grasp The best bit of Parkour I ever saw was a man who jumped the Millenium Stadium in CArdiff while the roof was opening.

I can only front flip, and half the time I land on my back...so I stick to like all the other non-flippy stuff.

I haven't really found terms to use for them, so I call them stuff.......I am working on kongs, and double kongs, as well as just basic landings. O, and wall runs. They kill me.

Ok now that I know what it is, it seems really extreme and fun haha.

Here is a good Youtube video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jquXcwooV6A

It is intense.

Skater, xD I used to be able to front flip, though after the long break I bet I'll be landing on my back too.

Kong's came easy to me, dash's came with great difficulty and many butt bruises. >> The lazy vault came the easiest, but I suppose that's a given. As well as the monkey vault.

Parkour always fascinated me, I actually got into it from watching videos of it, I love running up walls and just doing crazy stuff like that in general. Running up trees is always fun. Yep. And seeing the looks of your friends when you do it.
