I thought that this stupid internet freerunner fad had ended when people got bored of Mirror's Edge. I have no especial disrespect for the activity itself, but christ do some people ever fanboy it up.
[QUOTE=Eluveitie;25674346]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.[/QUOTE] It uses the same techniques.
[QUOTE=Archy;25674404]it's a commonly known fact that only douchebags and nerds call it parkour[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure anyone that actually practices the sport calls it Parkour, because that's the French name and the sport itself comes from France. I'm pretty sure douchebags who don't understand the sport call it something else.
[QUOTE=Tukimoshi;25674248]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.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure assasins creed did it first :V

It's a very good sport to do for fitness and strength.

I would run 3 steps, fall and break my back.
Well, isnt this just fab-u-lus. This guy is a troll, created 2 troll threads and now tries to troll us with this one. I actually like free running, I dont actually do it, but it still looks like fun.
free running is so 2002.
I like free running and parkour.I don't do it though, looks fucking dangerous
Freerunning sucks, Parkour is where it's at.
I think its pretty cool, I dont engage in free running but I have a friend whos really into it, he started by practicing in a gym (running on walls, hand stands, flips, etc.) then he started doing stuff all around campus with people videotaping him, some are pretty cool
People think it's dumb and overrated, yet it's really cool And about "no places to do it", you just gotta search for them.
I love free running, its a lot of fun, my friend is fucking amazing at it.
"look at me guys im cool" basically every freerunner out there
I do parkour because it's a fast and effective way to 1. Get away from cops 2. Get away from a Facepunch meetup. Freerunning is cool looking stuff that will get your neck broken, only fags do it.
I used to do parkour but friends stopped it so i did too.
I hate the name "free running". It was clearly named by a douchebag who thinks they are better than everyone else for not jumping over fences or "unshackling themselves from the conventional sidewalk"

[QUOTE=Testabar;25673177]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.[/QUOTE] if you cant then your legs are so clearly not in 100% good health
