Happy days. Antony, Crawty. Just for the record: Believe me when I say I didnt come here for an argument. In fact, of all the forums I have ever been part of, this is the first argument I have ever taken part in, let alone started. This was my first contact with what seems to be the online community hub of something which I currently have a burning desire to start learning - imagine how that made me feel? Pretty disheartened to say the least. I am very glad to have gotton a bit of back up on this, especially from a site Admin. Thanks Ronin, I know you didn't post that for me, but still. I am also glad to see Gaz get his thread back Now, I am off down the gym to see how much it costs for a swimming pool membership

gav - me and charlie are the most active these days, we're the ones posting to all the new guys.
normally, i'm patient.
but, we went out and stickied new topics and things to help the new guys, and i find it totally ignorant when he did not read it.
mark - i wasn't to have a moan either. i'm just mad at the amount of people who come on here and don't do what we simply say are needed to read. if you wish, gav, we could just lock the threads when they don't listen? but, we generally help them more.
sports are competitive, and in that sense, parkour is no where near a sport. its about personal development. this is why "parkour competitions" have been widely hated.
anyway, my points were not at first really that harsh. they were just telling him things he needs to know. after a year of training, he should know its not a sport.
and also mate, freerunning doesn't exist :-) if you want to know why, pm me.

i did know that parkour was not a sport i just didnt know how to express what it was other than saying it was a sport. Ive read a lot of the articles now but cant seem to find any on sportswear i.e trainers-is there any inparticular that are spacificley good for parkour, gloves-are they helpful or not. Sorry if there is already a thread on this if so point me in the right direction but otherwise, can you give me some advise please

ok, there is a thread in the parkour articles thing for trainers. but, i'd recommend the kalenji success. on the site i'll post, you can find your nearest decathlon store to get them. www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/success-13220919/the store finder link is just above the image, in orange writing. for trousers.. go buy some jogging bottoms from primark. £2.50 at the mo. BUT, buy a size or 2 big, because they shrink in the wash. if you have them 2 sizes toio big, they'll be more baggy and looser even after washing :-) no to gloves. your hands should naturally develop strength, in the past few generations, we have relied on technology for everything, and not needing to climb and get our own food, and so our hands get softer. we need to strengthen these. so, train with no gloves :-)

The reason i was harsh.. is because i belive that you didnt read the stickied thread at the top of this section.. which is breaking a rule in theory.. also i belive that you came here for the argument..
