Free running or freerunning is a form of urban acrobatics in which participants, known as free runners, use the city and rural landscape to perform movements through its structures. It incorporates efficient movements from parkour, adds aesthetic vaults and other acrobatics, such as tricking and street stunts, creating an athletic and aesthetically pleasing way of moving. It is commonly practiced at gymnasiums and in urban areas that are cluttered with obstacles.
Anyone else do Free running? I am fairly good at it myself :P.
I got rated Boxes cause I did not know 80% of facepunch are fat asses who won't get up and do something =/.
Why did you make this thread
Is this a megathread or some sort of "I'm telling you that free running is out there"?
im a fatass but i started lifting weights and jogging so i could do this like 2-3 months ago
looks dumb
and we cant find anywhere to do it at?and it has to be within walking distance.sny ideas of places to look.
I would do this if I weren't out of shape and if there were actually any decent places around here to do it. (I used to do it at my school before I graduated. My principal chewed me out at least once a day for it...) And this was before I ever knew what parkour or freerunning were, actually.

What furry?
Free running is a handy tool to help run from the cops.
I can't do it, I like my legs to be in 100% good health.
I'm okay at free-running, I've got a parkour-roll down, and I can vault pretty well.
I can vault over things and jump pretty damn high but the place I live sucks for freerunning.
I've always wanted to learn the tricking/xma moves, but I always fail at it. Probably a combination of not being in good enough shape and only having online tutorials to help. Plus I don't really live in an area very conducive to this activity.

He never once said he was a furry. He thought it was bullshit that everyone is trying to persecute furries.

And why are we weird? Or are you just trying to get this topic off-track by being difficult?
^ get a life.
I like free running, I wish I could do it.
So basically: It's parkour for show-offs?
C'mon, Parkour was invented as a way to travel by foot quickly and for orphans to have a game to play. By adding 'tricks' and 'aesthetic vaults' you are basically diminishing the essence of the sport.
I'm a free runner. Its fun as hell.

Free Running is the art of Parkour.
No Free Running is the art of doing tricks and stunts on urban areas. Parkour is the art of getting from point A to point B as fast as possible.
Did you just make a virtually contentless thread on Free Running in an attempt to sway us from your other unnecessary thread on furries?
Then call it Parkour if you mean Parkour. Parkour is a depression-era sport from France (if I'm correct) that originated from poor children who had little in means of toys. They ended up racing each other a lot, to the point of going through rediculous obstacles to take the fastest route from Point A to B.
Give or take 70-80 years, and you have a modern sport called Parkour. As I understand, Free Running is a bit different from Parkour, although shares similarities with it.
it's a commonly known fact that only douchebags and nerds call it parkour
