I agree it isn't as hard as it looks but it IS a challenge. Don't get fooled by stuff that LOOKS easy. Most of the traceurs out there have practised and practised and practised. If enough people get seriously hurt Parkour will get a bad rep...and that's the last thing we want... I've heard it said... "Parkour is a religion and David Belle is God"... perhaps a little extreme and giving Belle too much credit...but I love the sentiment. ;-) I’ve just started trying out Parkour and just wanted to share this amazing tutorial for anyone who wants to try a Kong vault: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXH7FHfMCH0#watch-main-area

First of all: Jeremy, if you invented freestyle walking sorry, but I laugh at you. It's like Parkour For Dummies. Free running (similar to parkour but with different ideas to it and includes tricking sums it up really) Is closer to parkour then fs walking. lol lol Parkour doesn't have an emphasis on style, people bring their own styles and ideas into it and it grows, creating new things constantly. Secondly, Iamnivek. CSI, not really a fan of the show myself, but I did see the episode with the traceurs. (Someone who does parkour)They may have looked less geeky and more cool, but these guys you're seeing. (Most of these videos are focused on David Belle who is known as the father of parkour.) He can definately own any traceur you'll ever see. The "Run Escape Jump" video was a scene from the movie Banlieue 13.(District 13) David Belle didn't start parkour, it's ideology dates prehistory, David, his brother, cousin and friends and everything adapted the idea of it and put it into a city. Giving it the name Parkour (which is derived from the word parcours which bascailly means a course or path)Want more info feel free to send an email. Happy to answer any "sensible" questions.

The fact that they run however makes it almost too utilitarian for my liking. It seems less about style than about getting from point A to point B.

This is primo superhero urban fantasy stuff...(too bad I can hardly jump off my sofa)...a fitting response to urban ennui and lack of control over ones immediate surroundings...the mall scenes in Urban Ninja left the strongest impression. Thanks! Inspirational stuff. Seeing this stuff for the first time via yr. site left me with “OF COURSE!”, a kind of mini eureka moment.
