Parkourists

Am I the only Parkourist on Sythe? Get in here if you do it

9 Months of experience.

 

I'm going to be real honest, but what is a parkourist?

 

I've tried but I'm just too out of shape to even be good at it.

 

Look it up, cba to explain. Getting from point a to b the fastest, (imo the coolest) way possible

 

An Aspect of Movement, Gymnastics and Aerobic Moves combined together which Helps you Go from Place A to B in the most fluent and fast way in possible, It is classed as an urban sport. And requires alot of upper body strength. It normally involves Vaulting, Long distance Jump and landings'.

It requires alot of balance, Strength, and stamina, and.. i guess you could say, Bravery, Jumping from Roof to roof is dangerous.

Oh, and to answer your question, Yes i did it for a while until i had to have a cartilage replacement in my knee.

 

I love it, but I can't do too much because I'm scared to try some of it/there is not place to try moves.

I have a few of the basics down though.

 

I've been thinking about getting into Parkour. I've only been doing a bit of Free Running for now, not really been into the whole showing off that Parkour has shown. It does looks really fun though.

 

I hope you dont make videos of yourself >.>

 

I used to be into Parkour/Free running but my athletic ability has gone down a lot and I'm way too lazy now.

 

I do it but not out of choice i do a lot of illegal tagging, etc so i gotta know what to do and how to get away if i need to

 

I love to watch parkour, I can't do it very well, but I like to think I'm OK at it haha. It's a great sport that builds your fitness tremendously.

 

Exactly. We don't have too many places here neither, but I know the basics and a lot more.

 

How come? It tests the strength of the human body.

 

Isn't this just basically Free-Running? Jumping stuff so you can get places?

 

Same thing, just named differently in different areas.

 

I've got a narrow corridor in my landing, I jump up that and I can do some parkour stuff there, I've been up there for like 10 minutes straight for a bet.
I wouldn't try anything more than that, I'm not confident enough.

 

I don't, but that is really cool! They have a hilarious episode from The Office with parkour in it!

 

Well, it's been three years since I first tried parkour. I was inspired to learn it when I first played the game called Assassin's Creed. I managed to learn most of the basic moves, but haven't been able to practice lately due to schoolwork. :/ It's quite fun, and I really like running.

No.

 

Isnt parkour something from the French army or something? They used it to get to other locations fast in difficult conditions, I heard that somewhere.

 

Pretty fucking badass. Parkour is something I always want to do. I have the physical shape to do it, but tbh I'm a pussy.
