I'm not impressed. Much of the time it's public property, city fences or buildings being played with. Others show them trespassing in an abandoned private warehouse, etc. Many see it as illegal and vandalism. Kinda like the skateboarders who grind down railings and scrape up concrete terraces and stairs. Somebody will get hurt and guess who will then file a lawsuit? Go join a gym, pay the cost of playing your silly jumping games somewhere that allows it.

Regardless what them old dudes are cranking on up there, that's just awesome stuff! Woot!! I was going to downgrade it fora weak score, but then I realized that I love that they used some other music other than the crap rap that is so common these days.

Thanks for sharing!

2 possibilities; your Geritol is expired or you sat on the bottle, again.

Woodchuck, you backed into the rake I shoulda walked into. Test; do you hear a scratchy sound when you walk?

P.S. I'm on this site ALL THE FUCKING TIME and I've never seen a Parkour video link posted. Climb down from the rafters and don't click or watch the vid, try it, it's easy.

P.S.S. It's Guidline #1, not Rule #1.

Vandalism.... ha ha ha ah a

Don't you guys remember being 18?

At least they're not spray painting, sitting all day watching TV, or smoking pot obsessively eating Krispy Kremes and Little Debbies.

I remember a time when the same kinds of negative, derogatory comments would have been posted about climbing. That is, if the internet had actually existed back then.

My, the times they are a changin'...

EDIT: Absolutely awesome. Those guys would be phenomenal climbers...

I've seen several Parkour videos, but never on this site. I thought it was awesome.

parkourers, parkourists, or whatever they are called, have skills. That stuff is awesome. Not cool if they trespass; but if they do it in a way that they aren't risking others then that's fine. Near where I live is a windy mountain road that is popular with downhill longboarders (see wimp.com/beautifullongboard… ). Some people may think they are crazy and irresponsible, but it is public property and they can use it within the law as they see fit. Usually they have helmets and pads, and sometimes even sails (to help go slow I assume).

Furthermore, I think parkour does less damage to public property than skateboarders grinding benches and curbs.

Is parkour more risky than free soloing?

Parkour may be THE perfect sport for inner-city youths.
