P.S. To any admins/mods this isn't spam it's a general question on the interests of our community

i love watching it, but there isn't much chance to do it ware i live in the states

pinoyballa · « **Reply #15 on:** January 28, 2008, 06:20:55 PM »

I'm in the states and I love to do Parkour, it's so fun lol. Even though I can't manage to do backflips and such I can still do many other things. My location also helps out because theres many things i can climb, jump on to, tic-tac etc...

kink192 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 28, 2008, 06:35:55 PM »

only freerunner at my school, its fun to see peoples reactions whenever i decide to do random stuff. although my friend mikey knows that when my bookbag starts sliding im going to do something. im now known as ninja kid in gym because of it. oh and i might be heading up to michigan over the summer if i run into you ill try and help

ra1n · « **Reply #17 on:** January 28, 2008, 06:45:16 PM »

I don't do it of course...
But my friend Mikal and his brother does free running

Mikal is the one in blue shorts, His older brother is the only one that does backflips and "R" is holding the camera

seikene · « **Reply #18 on:** January 28, 2008, 06:55:14 PM »

Heh Parkour got me arrested :P, heh we went too far and was free running INSIDE my school XD. Anyway it's fun to start, it's like an extreme way of saying you're playing in the streets lol. Big tip to give for anybody starting, look at every wall, pole, and piece of object you see in the street in a different view. Walls are meant to be unclimbable unless made for it but thats what you're here to find out. Many brick walls can be 2 stepped easily, and poles are perfect for sliding or even climbing up. Even rails are good for balance tricks and hanging on to when you think you're falling to the floor. Since I got my new camera, if I go through court alive, I'm going to go freerun LEGALLY with my friends and make some vids of us trying our own stuff.

pinoyballa · « **Reply #22 on:** January 30, 2008, 01:00:23 PM »

LOL to seikene, one time at school i was vaulting over the rails and such and a teacher saw me, so i ran away, but then she found me and i ended up with a detention

kink192 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 30, 2008, 03:09:18 PM »

almost happened to me, but the VP [vice principals] noticed me after i did it and after i saw them

ryan0 · « **Reply #24 on:** January 30, 2008, 03:20:10 PM »

i always go freestylin down by my old primary school (i h8 the place with every bone in my body,i punched my male teacher in the face on my last day in the school cos he kept on pickin on me lol) even when school is on and sometimes i even go down on one of my motorbikes (suzuki rm250 and a mini moto) and start rippin up the wheels,the roof is perfect for parkour loads of gaps between building ac vents satellite stands alleys you can tictac up its just a dream!i love gettin the teachers to chase me its awesome one time the principal had to chase me round the yard and i was on my mini moto lol all the kids pressed against the window watchin and he was shoutin at me,he didnt recognise me since its been 4 years
but it was still awesome lolololololol i tore up their football pitch

FreeK · « **Reply #25 on:** January 31, 2008, 03:09:36 PM »

nice, i got a couple friends (neighbors) that will do it with me, we havent done really anything yet, but earlier i was climbing up to and ontop of my town library, and running the walls, till i got yelled at.... then i started skateboarding in the parking lot.... till i got yelled at again..... then i just hung out with my friend till she left.... and now im here (home)

Timmy · « **Reply #26 on:** February 01, 2008, 05:46:07 PM »

Me and my friends tried some but theres not a lot of places to do it here, we found a good spot at the run down millitary forts where theres heaps of huge rocks gaps and old buldings with no roofs :P
