Parkour & Freerunning (Not sure where to post tbh) - General

[QUOTE=Head$hot;27614377]and you know how to perform the moves how? link me to a video of you doing the same stuff we're doing please..[/QUOTE] Using that argument is no different from thinking that someone needs to be good at guitar to judge someone who plays guitar.

ITT: Facepunch bashes someone who does something they like and wants to share it because he's not professional grade.

[QUOTE=Head$hot;27613075]well thats fair enough then, but people only break bones when they do something they know they cant handle, and just try it to impress others.[/QUOTE] My brother punched a washing machine out of anger (his boss was a dick), broke his hand and the bone was visible.

[QUOTE=hgncommand;27619464]ITT: Facepunch bashes someone who does something they like and wants to share it because he's not professional grade.[/QUOTE] Yeah but surely that is how it works. For example I like doing a bit of programming but I will admit that I am very bad at it and I am at the beginning stages of learning it. If I made a thread in the programming sub forum about "My awesome bit of coding" I would have my arse torn apart in an instant. The point is I don't make the thread and show my bad work because I know it is not good enough to enter the public domain yet. The same should apply to OP. Sadly he thinks that people want to see it even though it's pretty bad.

[QUOTE=hgncommand;27619464]ITT: Facepunch bashes someone who does something they like and wants to share it because he's not professional grade.[/QUOTE] Well it's because in this case if you are not at least competent you are not actually freerunning /doing parkour. These guys are barely doing either. Like the above guy, I like programming, but I am shitty at it, and only know how to do the most basic shit in BASIC, so I'm not gonna make a thread about a shitty game I made with QBASIC.

[QUOTE=The very best;27613509]you're just jumping off of 2 feet ledges, falling over and skinning your knees. If I recall I did this shit when I was 8.[/QUOTE] Your title, why would you even do that? First you waste $10 on a few grey pixels that show up under your username and on top of that you call yourself a "fucking faggot".

They all are quite fags, but I can't do a backflip.

[QUOTE=luverofJ!93;27619011]Yes, you guys do struggle on almost every wall in the third video. At 0:36 that kid takes 7 or 8 seconds to get up that wall. I could do that so easily in less time and I never practice free running. That is basic shit and you guys are bombing it. Again at 1:19 he takes forever to get up the wall.[/QUOTE] I said that I dont struggle....my mates might do but i mean ME, i dont...and you wouldnt be able to get up the wall as fast and the same way we're doing...without using your elbows...there is a technique to it...but meh, its your opinion so i dont care...all this thread is about is to ask what you opinion of free running is in GENERAL, not my video, i only included my video as a little something

[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;27613036]I get quite the adrenaline rush from playing games like Killing Floor and such, CoD is for casuals anyway and sitting at the computer won't result in me breaking all of my bones.[/QUOTE] or maybe its just casual for you to sit at a computer, because your stuck to the chair. Free running pride

[QUOTE=MrTwicks;27630374]or maybe its just casual for you to sit at a computer, because your stuck to the chair. Free running pride[/QUOTE] "Free running pride" are you serious.

Sometimes I don't understand this forum. The video wasn't bad. Sure, the ledge jumping parts sucked, but the flips and stuff were good. Atleast OP is getting exercise unlike (probably) everyone else in this thread that is bashing him.

First rule of parkour/freerunning videos: Nothing is as impressive as you think it is when it's filmed. I'd like to encourage you to keep doing parkour/freerunning but I really don't get the point of making a video other than to show off. Also, freerunning implies flow and momentum. If you just walk up to a spot and do a trick, that's tricking. Keep practising and I'd suggest you guys train more on your arm jump landings (or cat leaps, whatever people in your area call them) because it looks like you guys could hurt yourselves (you all seemed to slip down the wall a lot from fairly small jumps).

[QUOTE=saddasta;27614677]You get an adrenaline rush from looking at a few pixels? Wow, you are pathetic. Come back after almost dropping to the ground from 60 feet, and clinging onto the edge for your dear life. Now that's adrenaline.[/QUOTE] Looking at pixels isn't that much of an adrenaline rush. Looking at pixels resembling a giagantic fucking monster with bone crushing attachements to it's arms charging at you is pretty intense And I would prefer being pathetic rather than dead. If I wanted to, I could also run around on other peoples property and jump like a fucking bunny.

I'm sorry but I feel embarrassed for everyone involved in these videos. Watching teens overexcited by their underdeveloped abilities is just painful. Obviously the people involved have a drive to learn parkour but they just aren't near a point where it would be socially acceptable to show off.

Pretty nice flips but you guys could REALLY use some strength training cause you are really having troubles pulling up on these walls. Maybe hit the gym together few times a week to strengthen yourselves up. And don't worry, you wont put on too much weight or anything...

Lots of people know about parkour/freerunning and the difference between the two and what tricking is. Sorta obvious.

Aha, someone else from Lincoln then Head$hot? I used to do my piece for Lincs Parkour as well, were you there when we met Daniel Illabaca and the rest of the street team?

Good stuff man. What's the song in the summer training video?

[QUOTE=Dan*;27656452]Good stuff man. What's the song in the summer training video?[/QUOTE] thanks lol and yeah Dan* has said it

[QUOTE=Head$hot;27656622]thanks lol and yeah Dan* has said it[/QUOTE] Dan* did not answer his own question.:v: Edit: First Krafty Kuts, now Hilltop Hoods?:respek:

ah my bad, read it wrong....and ive put 2 more videos up, 1st one is summer training which has krafty kuts on, and the third one is the original one i put on, with hilltop hoods on :)

Good stuff otherwise, but the last vid.. You people really need to get into muscle conditioning if you aim to be faster and look more impressive all around, now some of that stuff looks like you're struggling to get up from normal cat leaps. Your gainer and some flips looks neat though, but I'd never call it a wallflip unless it was done from an actual wall. Also, posting videos made by yourself and then being terribly defensive and bitchy about the criticism you get makes you look like you're just fishing for random compliments and sugarcoating, and is a foolproof way to make yourself look like a total asshat. I wouldn't wonder if you attacked me and demanded a clip of better gainers/freerunning after this comment, to which I'll pre-emptively reply I don't do freerunning, but tricking, which is - although way more awesome - totally off-topic.

What's the use of this unless you're using it in fights to jump over people and round house kick them? I mean, if I could do this I would be running up walls n shit.
