I’m laughing so hard at that comment that I’m probably going to get fired.
I do this when I run from the cops, or if a pitbull is chasing me. So, if you want to call this crap a sport, well, then I’m an athlete.

I rofl’d
Come on, guys. It’s not simply ‘running away.’
There is free running and there is Parkour. Both of them are art forms of looking at your environment differently and traversing obstacles in efficient ways. High degree of acrobatics involved.
I wish I could do it. It would kill my joints, but looks like fun.

Now all I need is somebody else to pick up the tab and I’ll be golden for about 5 months =p. Does this come with a decoder ring or something cause I don’t think the people standing in line for Batman will let me go first unless I camp…then again it should be middle age fatmen and hippies…so I may be ok. Course pizza face that sells the tickets may get the manager.

Don’t forget NASCAR
Also, for anyone who liked this, check out the movie “Banlieue 13.” Has a lot of cool parcour bits, even though it’s old.

“Hey fuck you fatties…show you for making fun of our national past time.” Several of you guys Cheese Eating Surrender Monkies or something?
I’ll take the warm greasy smell of your average McAmerican to the biting cologne infused B.O. of France any day…mmmmm cheese burger.
On a more serious note:
The only problem I have with Parkour/Free Running is that is supposed to be about getting through your environment as fast as possible in case of an emergency, etc. How practical is it really? It’s like that one friend that everyone that took some lessons at the YMCA and can kick anyone’s ass if their right wrist is grabbed by the opponents right hand and the opponent won’t let go. Some of the moves aren’t even efficient aka flips. It’s kind of cool to watch but I wish its proponents wouldn’t try to make it out to be more than an acrobatic hobby.
