Parkour seems like one of those things that I would have loved to do when I was 11 years old.
It’s so sad to see grown people doing this and/or skateboarding.
Oh yeah, that was obviously just my opinion.
Why do you think it’s sad?[/quote]
Jealousy? I don’t get what is sad about being able to display such a high degree of conditioning and skill.
Man these guys are weak look at their scapulas sticking out on the pushup moves … that is appalling for someone who weighs so little. And likely to cause long term damage.
parkour … has dangerous moments. however falling skills etc… are good things for kids to learn.
however most of what they do is about as impressive as the fact that someone can walk. “Look at me! I’m walking on two legs!” brilliant. “Look at me! I can jump!” OK … didn’t know humans could jump or fall with gravity.
I do respect the risks some take and the built up ability to take impacts and jump. But, whoop de do - and I fear it encourages too many kids to do ultra stupid things, as if kids don’t do stupid enough things already.
