Freerun

Post by asswipe »

Its quite new, and I don't think alot of people do it.. but I think its really fun. Tricking your way down a street climbing anything and challenging yourself crossing paths in a more creative way. I've got some short movies to show what its like if you don't know. Though some of these guys are truly amazing and far better in martial arts/acrobatics than me. The thing with freerunning is that you don't actually have to be really good to have fun at it. Its about challenging yourself to limits and jumps etc. Ofcourse more fun when your stoned :P mainly because then you just lack a fair dose of scareness. Oh and it might become handy when your chased by cops ;). Well this was my opinion about freerunning/parkour, if anyone feels interested or also does these kinds of things, just post some comments.

And here are some vids:

thanks for the link that was intense and the music went well with the videos. i dont know how the hell the ninja guy was able to do flips and land on his neck. both videos look like a public lawsuit waiting to happen.

I got a police warning for doing this actully. I was running around town jumping and climbing things when a cop seen me jump onto the hood of a car. I made up some lie as to why I did it and he bought it. Just gave me a warning ticket if that makes sense...

Yea this is actually quite fun to do. I have not done it in some time though due to icy conditions I would really hate to fall and get bruised up so I think I'll just wait until the ice melts off the sidewalks and streets again.

I think this is called Parkour (Park-huer). There are some pretty tight videos of it all over the net. It looks really cool, my cousin and his buddies made a short video of themselves doing it around parks and loading docks and construction sites. Pretty fat stuff.

The actual "Sport" is called Parkour, and comes from fance. With this sport you actually set a parkour, and decide what tricks you will do on what obstacles. But a variety of that is Freerun, its just running around and like the word says it, freerunning, climbing/tricking and shit. My gymnastic teacher told me hes gonna learn me how to backflip from a wall soon.. :D

also found the sites of 2 profesional acrobatic/freerun teams

Pretty awesome, especially where you use some ones head as bump-support to make it to the next floor :D, also cool music behind them =p. I always used to launch my warthog in Halo 1 at the silent cartographer level.

Edit: I finally found the movie I was looking for a long time, I saw it a while ago and wanted to post it here, but lost it =p. well here it goes:

I love parkour. It's brilliant. I was out earlier running around, for a training session. I wasn't stoned at the time, but it's always great to do.
It's about freedom and flow of movement.
It's not actually something I've done while stoned but I've really gotten back into it lately so the two may cross at somepoint. I'll imagine it is fun.

man, didnt realize so many more people besides me were into parkour, i guess you all are in europe though. yeah, not much local action here in the states. doing it stoned would seem hard, everytime i jump off something when im high, the ground comes a lot faster than i think its going to. but im glad to see there are some traceurs in here.

Less fear involved while stoned. Found that out. Finally learnt to monkey vault over any obstacle I choose to, thanks to weed. I'd monkey vaulted before, but not over quite as high an obstacle and there was grass on the other side. This time I just went for it and did a perfect monkey vault. I then proceeded to monkey vault anything I could find and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Not scary at all, if you're a little stoned.
But, if I'm too stoned to do it, I'll know and I won't take any risks. There's a perfect level of stoned that gives you the right mind-frame to learn all the things you thought you couldn't do.
I now do kong vaults all the time 'cause I love them. :)

dude, schmut, kongs are my fav. i learned to double kong the other day, so much fun. i did a gate vault the other day with a wet slippery hill on the other side of the fence really drunk and fell into the street n scraped my arm up...i guess high would be better (as usual) ... i really need to try it.
