Tape your pants and shirts down to reduce air resistance.
[QUOTE=Monkey pie;21353720]Parkour. It's more or less a way very efficient way to get to point A to point B. If you want to do parkour just to show off, then freerunning is for you. You'll also need to train your upper body, it looks funny when skinny as shit people tries to do parkour but they can't lift themselves up for shit.[/QUOTE] Point A to Point B is where I'm headed. I jump over shit and take shortcuts while running to school. I save about 10 minutes that way.
judging by the posts you've made in the past you'll give up/turn in to one of those kids who kick the wall and twist around and say it's a wallrun
Jump off of a building. Your parkour skills will help you not die. Trust me.
[QUOTE=geogzm;21354117]judging by the posts you've made in the past you'll give up/turn in to one of those kids who kick the wall and twist around and say it's a wallrun[/QUOTE] Don't ever judge me by who I am by my posts. I'm a COMPLETELY different person in Real Life then I am on the internet. The internet is a relaxation zone, so I won't have to depend on being a certain way, if you know what I mean? This is something I'll keep doing. And if I ever lose interest, I'll just play Mirror's Edge and I'm back. (Don't worry, I know there is next to no chance of ever doing the tricks you see in ME.) EDIT: Bedtime. Nighty nighty.

[QUOTE=The iEzerith;21354212] EDIT: Bedtime. [/QUOTE] lol ^ And it doesn't change shit if you're different in real life - I can tell by how you post that you're clueless and mentally blind and you're not going to go further than jumping over your sofa.
Rule #1 of parkour: buy a fucking bike
i blame assains creed
Fuck you all I'm a rebel, I rated this guy heart. Because Parkour is awesome and this guy is totally cool if he's aiming to learn it too. Too bad that I live in a backwater town thats impossible to do anything other than slowly die to your deadly death
[QUOTE=Raiskauskone;21355274] Because Parkour is awesome [/QUOTE] You're name is Raiskauskone.
[QUOTE=Bman212;21353373]uhh, girls aren't supposed to be as heavy as men[/QUOTE] His are.
Parkour was really strenuous for me, so I would believe that it is strenuous at first.
Fuck June go do it now. What's keeping you?
Probably learning how to google things would be a pretty good skill.

[QUOTE=Bman212;21353574]picking up girls isn't that hard, bud[/QUOTE] I wish I could pick up girls :frown:
Am I the only person who thinks running all over people's buildings makes you look like an assclown?
[QUOTE=ArcNova;21355547]You're name is Raiskauskone.[/QUOTE] What a fucking brilliant observation. Do you want a cookie for your brilliant deduction skills?
[QUOTE=PILLS HERE!;21352533]Go to San Francisco if you can Best place to do it[/QUOTE] no best place for it is france.
[QUOTE=halflambada;21358948]What a fucking brilliant observation. Do you want a cookie for your brilliant deduction skills?[/QUOTE] Right after you blow me where I shit. Actually no I'll have the cookie first.
[QUOTE=The iEzerith;21352810]WHY am I getting dumbs? Also, someone yelled "Take it easy, spiderman" when I vaulted over a few things in a sequence on my way back from school.[/QUOTE] they're making fun of you
op are you fat
[QUOTE=Mingebox;21358050]Am I the only person who thinks running all over people's buildings makes you look like an assclown?[/QUOTE] no [editline]01:57AM[/editline] but op is confident and doesnt care what others think of his because he is a social badass
[QUOTE=The iEzerith;21353709]Read the second line next time. Also, even going NEAR guys is way to gay over here, so the only person I CAN lift right now is my girlfriend. As in... A friend who is a girl... I feel so lonely :cry: Back on topic.[/QUOTE] Picking up a girl is nothing. Even if that girl weighs 200 Pounds you should be able to do it. Even if you can lift that, the question is can you bench it? Benching that would show that you actually have the strength to lift a person of 200 pounds.
You need amazing upper body strength, and you're going to have amazingly calloused hands and wrists
[QUOTE=decilling;21352963]ignore this fucktard just go outside and start doing stuff.[/QUOTE] Actually this. Get a friend to do with you for safety reasons. Stay away from crowded places, so you won't make a fool of yourself. When you train somewhere, leave the places in exacly the same shape as they were before. And upper body strenght is not all that important, you can do a walkaround using the laws of physics for your favor. Tough learning how to do that might take some time. You have to be atleast decent.
[QUOTE=ArcNova;21354924]Laughed My Fucking Ass Off.[/QUOTE] What? The game is fun, and it it gives me inspiration. And in case you didn't read more then "I'll play some ME", I also wrote I KNOW FOR A FACT you can't jump between skyscrapers by running on the walls and shit. [QUOTE=geogzm;21355063]lol ^ And it doesn't change shit if you're different in real life - I can tell by how you post that you're clueless and mentally blind and you're not going to go further than jumping over your sofa.[/QUOTE] Dude - on the internet I act like a fucking ass to everone if I want to. In real life I'm the nice guy who prefers to avoid any kind of fighting, even verbal... Also waht's fun with me saying "bedtime"? It was 1AM where I live when I wrote that... Everyone needs to sleep, you fucking robot. [QUOTE=SteeleCratos]Fuck June go do it now. What's keeping you?[/quote] Lack of shoes and outside temperature. [QUOTE=Walls Vander]op are you fat[/QUOTE] Fuck no. I never will be. I have this thing in my body that has gone down generations on my dads side that sucks up all the fat from food, so I can never actually be FAT until I become around my 60s-70s when the effect "wears off", sort of. It is something everyone has, but me and my relatives have a super-version of it.
Been training for two years, am a member of a group affiliated with the official American parkour page. A few tips: Learn how to correctly land and roll. If you clip your foot while doing a vault and end up flying towards the pavement with face first, it can save your skin. Pace yourself. It's a slow learning experience, and it'll take months of training before you can do even a tenth of the techniques you see in "ub3r rad parkour team" videos. [b]STRETCH.[/b] Everything. Specifically leg muscles, shin splints hurt like fuck. Don't wear gloves unless it's too cold. Toughen your hands up. Maintain your grip. That's about it. Be safe, and keep in mind that there is a difference between the teachings of parkour, freerunning, and tricking. Focus on getting things done safely and smoothly, then 'stylize' later.
