Parkour - General - Facepunch Forum

I just tried playing mirrors edge and I love it, I also do a bit of this stuff too.

Not a huge fan of flipping, but I enjoy the running, jumping, and climbing aspects.

It also makes you look like a mega-douche.

Looks fun. OP, do you do it and if you do, is there a lot of technique to it or do you just go for it?

Well im gonna start this this summer, it's seems to be really nice, I just dont have really good jumps here.

Doing it to pass time is dumb. doing it to get away from someone following you, or as a shortcut is alright though

Looks fun but I have a pathological fear of anything that might produce embarrassment (Like jumping around in public) so not for me.

There are also many ways to vault but you can pick one to use. It's very easy.

Oh man, I love Parkour. It's so much fun and it's awesome seeing reactions from passers by like, "Wtf, how did he do that?".

It's a pitty I can't here. I live in australia, out of a small town. [sp]So, I screwed[/sp]

My friend's really good at parkour. It's cool and all, but it's kind of annoying because he's always doing flips and shit.

[QUOTE=iondull7;22453185]My friend's really good at parkour. It's cool and all, but it's kind of annoying because he's always doing flips and shit.[/QUOTE] If he's doing flips it's considered free-running.

Looks very... Gravity defying...

Everytime a 14 old finds out about parkour they make a thread about it. We all know what it is, be quiet.

I do parkour every once in awhile. It's interesting but i don't like it too much.

[QUOTE=Skellyhell;22452708]Doing it to pass time is dumb. doing it to get away from someone following you, or as a shortcut is alright though[/QUOTE] It's a hobby.

Cool. Someone finally made a thread. I do parkour with ncpk. It's ncparkour.com if you are interested.

It's really too bad that the main representation of parkour conists of faggot jocks whose sports aren't in-season...

Yeah, it looks like fun, but I don't want to crack my skull open or become a paraplegic.

Parkour looks badass but their knees are probably shot after a few years of it.

[QUOTE=Merkw00t;22453765]Looks very... Gravity defying...[/QUOTE] That's more free running.

[QUOTE=LieutenantLeo;22452073]Pretty good other than that though am i right?[/QUOTE] I pray that this is sarcasm. It's not even Parkour.

[QUOTE=Chrille;22460517]I pray that this is sarcasm. It's not even Parkour.[/QUOTE] Yes, sarcasm was used in the making of that post.
