hey !

Personaly, parkour is extremely addictive me and i cannot go at least a week without practising it.
i cant really explain how i feel about parkour, whether it is a hobby or anything else, i generaly practice it because i find fun and i just get fun, and adrenaline from it - ;D
How about you?

i dont really have a specific favourite move, but i find that speed vaults are my favourite at the moment, followed by lazy vaults, im practicing kong and monkey vaults quite heavily recently, and these seem to becoming one of my favoured moves ;D - try kongs into a speed if you get me - very fun
vertical wall runs ( upwards if im wrong )

ive basically said every move but ive exressed me feelings

now to you

[ANTISFIT]

for me its the freedom.

i love how you can just be different to everyone else in the world.
you're better in a sense.

parkour to me means freedom to do what ever you want.
you want to do someing in parkour u just got to stick to it to learn it

[Zen, UKPKA]

im in it purely for the money LEET sponsers and free sh!t and UF are my inspiration <3

now on a serious note...

i practise parkour purely coz its sumthing i like to do its a great hooby which helps me maintain a positive attitude towards my life family and friends and it surroundings. Other wise i do tend to be a very negative person towards EVERYTHING which aint too good to be frank. so in a way its kinda like "stress management". the way i see it is...if i train im happy then i go home happy and stay in that frame of mind till the next weekend i train and the cycle carrys on.....but if i dont train and leave it for like 2 - 3 weeks my mood then becomes negative so to speak and i start getting snappy etc at anyone who i thinks having a pop or being too sarky

so there ya have it lol

im not gonna say "i do it for the freedom" coz tbh thats what every one sais and "feels" about the dicapline so its no good saying your different coz your not lol your the same as every other practitioner


it may seem like im having a rant but honestly im not and if you disagree then your wrong

but i just fort id share that with the forum

sorry if it went a tad offtopic at bits lol my bad

but thats what parkour is for me....a very possitive thing to be a part of

[mayhem2004]

zen man you had me going there with the uf stuff lol when i sed the freedom i didn meen freedom of movement or any thing like that.
i ment freedom for me as a person and i agree with the stress relieve bit after i had a argument with my girlfriend go out do some parkour come back feeling like a new man lol

[ANTISFIT]

haha, nice post dean, and tbh thats the same with me.

but,
freedom can mean freedom from stress and things.

you have a weght lifted off of you and are more free

if you know what i mean?

[joesp]

i agree with Antony. there are no moves, it sounds to much like a skateboarding game or something.
i think it's mainly about 'achieving what you have always wanted to'.
'seeking perfection'.
Its also social and improves fitness, some people may also class it as a hobby like skateboarding.

parkour to me is a way of life
its all bout to me being as efficient as you can
i love being un-restricted
and its good for getting away from chavs which is a bonus
and problay at the moment precisions is one of my favourite movements

[ANTISFIT]

haha, don't run from chavs.

once they realise you aren't scared, the run.

me and charlie (crawty) were going through a town centre, like running so we could get back to training.
some chav walked past and said to me "Run, nasty thing, run"
so i simply shouted "shut up" in his face,
he said something as he walked away, and then charlie said something else to them to end them.

we walked past them later, they just carried walking past us
and said something like
"oh, its them again"
and just went on haha

[crawty]

That was lol's i shouted your nan ;D

[bradbates15]

mate you havn't seen what i look like
a small kid with glasses isn't that threatening

[ANTISFIT]

then you clearly don't train enough ;-)

work on all your strength, be threatening in no time ;-)
