Parkour- Free running

A sport that concentates on physical endurance, agility, precision and a hell of alot of time. In essence its been around in kids for years but the genius' that have made it into a full fledged sport are of pure brilliance.

For those of you who don't know the creators, one of them is the man running fast away from James Bond in Casino Royal; he's amazing I know. It the only sport that teaches you how to run away from people and being able to do it is the best feeling in the world.

Naturally vaulting over walls and jumping down off high things can sound just plain crazy, but imagine the feeling of yourself running UP a wall and back-flipping, its exhilirating I can tell you. And you get better with time and practise, naturally.

So, does anyone do it and do you have tales of your adventures?

Ah, don't see much of it over here...
But then some people like me scramble fences and do stunts to get away from various people...

Not really stylised like what I've seen of Parkour though...
More we need to get away from something fast.
Still looks fun. If I get the opportunity to give it a go, it'd be fun.

Ha ha, you have it in essence then eh?

You should give it a go it really good. I use it to get away from people too, I ran onto a garage to get away from the police at a party once. HId behind it for an hour whilst they talked to those unfortunate enough to be stupid and wait it out.

When you get really good you enjoy yourself whilst you are doing it too, and it stopd aching your legs after a bit.

Ooooooo, sounds nasty man. I had a friend that pierced his lung with his rib after jumping a drop, sick stuff I can tell you. Oh the screams.

Worst accident I've ever had wasn't even free-running, it was skateboarding, I tried to do a roof jump, missed, and split my head open. Fractured it with a 3 CM gap. THAT was painful, I was dizzy and felt drunk for 2 days in hospital.
