Adam L Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Ugh, they managed to work competition into a none competetive discipline.I seriously don't get the point of competing in freerunning/parkour, it's not what it was made for.Urban Freeflow are serious twats.

Fixed Pants™ Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 What's that? They have a championship for faggots who wanna ride trials but aren't cool enough to do it on bikes? And they go to the gymnasium every afternoon to practice on the trampolines and spring boards? Oh ok.FAGGOTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 In fairness, not all of them.And similarly, regarding the whole freestyle fixie thing, people in glass houses shouldn't really be throwing stones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishayton Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 In fairness, not all of them.And similarly, regarding the whole freestyle fixie thing, people in glass houses shouldn't really be throwing stones lol yeh coming from someone who raves on about his 'fixie' and how fast he is on it, its a bit rich to criticize any kind of sporting activityhow does it work as a competition by the way? Is it just the usual board of judges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) The competitors judge each other, like they did last year. However the results of last year's winner was fixed where most people booed him out. Edited July 29, 2009 by Rusevelt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 This whole horizontal bar gymnastics routine is some whack shit. Way prefer freerunning when it involves more of a 'running' element, rather than a "Whoa, sick gymnastics bro!" element. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 'Bar work'... They'll be expecting them to land with their feet together and their arms raised above them next... There must be some more underground freerunners cringing right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
