theone2be Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) Well like the title says really.A few of my mates have started doing freerunning and I don't really see any point in it, but they could probely say it about trials. Here is thier site, please give them your honest opinion. (mine is that they suck lol)Parkour Dam piczo sites The only Trials related parkour i've seen is about 3 seconds in Phil Feeney "Edit 6" If they were good I think it'll be worth making a video but thats just embarrising for them.Please give honest opinons in the shoutbox or guestbook or whatever. Good and bad (mainly bad lol)So does anyone on here do freerunning? If so what is it like, if not what is your opinion of it.EDIT: 2mins 55secs in there newest video, black hoodie and bright orange shirt hangin out is Human_Furball on here, just like to point out his embaresment before he took up trials. I'm sure he will thank me for that lol Edited April 20, 2006 by thwaites14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Greenthumb Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 that was god awfulI fail to see how running on a wall is classed as parkour.parkhour is generally impressive when its done professionally but anyone can do that stuff including my dog.

Ben Jones Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Haha...haha, so funny jumping on and off walls.Watched a programme a few months back about the french people who made it up, there absolutely amazing.

yoyoyo Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 My friend does it, he always tries to get me to do it. Occasionally i do it and it's fun, but then he tries to push me and it just gets annoying.Plus i can static gap further on my bike than in real life.

Simon Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Why are they running and jumping onto measly green boxes? My friend can jump from stand still, from two feet to two feet up a 4ft wall, and he doesn't even do parkour. Its like a kid getting a Zoo Python and doing skids on it and calling it trials.

Its like a kid getting a Zoo Python and doing skids on it and calling it trials.Sorry but did this bit make anyone else shudder at the thought of a trials bike being used to do skids down the local park with a load of local chavs. What a waste of a python Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Cable Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I did it for a piss take once, and got busted by police for being on M & S roof in norwich...very high..From Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse_reaper666 Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 what did the police say when they busted you? me and my friends do imagianry trials to see if we can do the gaps etc for example: theres a 2foot gap but in a confined space my friend would bacicly be riding a imaginary trials bike and jump up and over the gap and imagining and planing when to pull the brakes and when to turn etc. try it its fun and its good to plan stuff so you dont brake your bike tying something! bikes are more expensive then human limbs! it also goes that if you can static jump a gap then you can do it on your bike!

anzo Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) theres a 2foot gap but in a confined space my friend would bacicly be riding a imaginary trials bikeDoes he have an extra cromosome?Video, I don't know, I'm not one for slagging off peoples work, but it wasn't really that entertaining...it just looked very amature, and I have to say if I ever saw you lot doing the 'parkour' near me, I'd most probably spit on you or insult your mothers.You'll obviously get better with time, but the video was made to look serious, and to you guys it is, but it just looked like a session after the pub.I liked to enter page too, 'Parkour is not a Crime'...One could only imagine the hassle you get...damn those blasted police! Anarchy and all that.You should get those annoying skateboard teeshirts, 'Parkour - Proudly annoying pedestrians since 2003'.

anzo Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) Parkour...*sigh*...time for a moan...Its just crap unless your good at it, unless you can impress, you're just going to look like you've popped a million pills.I'd never ever try it, simply because of the comments I'd get...imagine the situation, stood on a wall, jumping around on it, some fit girls walk past with a few lads...like it or not, you're going to get some abuse. And for the sake of jumping around on a wall, its just not worth it.Although trials is somewhat different, because its on a bike, its a million times more impressive and just more 'accepted' as a sport.Its like when you used to walk home from school and walk across peoples walls on their front gardens...now picture a 25 year old man doing it...

omgnoseat Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 i think you made a mistake while editing the vid, the ''not quite pk'' text should be at the beginning of the vid.like people said before, parkour only is impressive when youre good at it (i think that counts for most sports), and you guys are definatly not good at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Cable Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 what did the police say when they busted you?They gave us all these silly tickets, inlcuding my freind who had injured himself earlier in the day and was on the floor in agony... . They were them silly comunity support ociffers (i know i spelt it wrong.. ). Was very amusing, The norwich parkour group are quite good. norwich parkour. These are the guys i met, and there darn good...From Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Rides-Trials Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Hello me and my little brother have been doing it for the past 5 months just around town. it helps with trials because you use your body weight and you arms quite alot. It is quit esimilar to trials as you can do it anywhere and alot cheaper!! but no way near as good.Cheers, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 hmmm Parktour = out of school gym clss'ssome components of it were ok but the other bits we so so shit - we sometimes do a bit wouldnt call it parkcore though just f**king about when bored i could quite comfortably do most stuff on there - the type of kids that get bullyed at school basically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 The bit on a video where the guy sits on a wall and his mate jump over him and off the wall next to himif i saw them id boot em all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Shoe Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 To be honest the only ok thing in the whole vid was the wall flip which wasn't even pulled off properly, I have some friends who do it and i do quite a bit in the gym as well. My mate can gainer, and backflip off 6 foot walls to concrete, and static gap 12ft 2 feet to 2 feet, so now you can see why I am not impressed with the video. PK is good when done Properly!
