Title: Parkour/Freerunning
Post by: buddha on October 23, 2009, 04:24:17 PM

I caught a show called the Ultimate Parkour Challenge on MTV Thursday night. These guys are entirely insane. This is the coolest MTV show I've seen since I started watching Bully Beatdown.
Does anybody in this forum do Parkour?
How did you get started?
The guys I watched on the MTV show are in super condition. They also appear to be totally fearless.

I think Parkour is absolutely amazing!  I'm going to have to TiVo that show.

There are a couple parkour groups here, my brother and I use to do something similar in the woods back home. The forest floor is far more forgiving than the concrete jungle.

That's partly the reason these guys are so amazing both in their conditioning and their fearlessness. These dudes were doing somersaults off of 30 foot drops and then doing a tuck and roll when they landed. The agility and athleticism were astonishing. The program was inspirational to me to kinda bear down a little in my workouts although I don't plan on jumping off the roof of any 3 story warehouses in this lifetime.
