Parkour

Ya, I'm interested in doing parkour too. The community over at pkire.com have some really good videos and they hold jams all over Ireland every couple of weeks which you can just go to and learn.

Cool. Did anyone else (in Ireland) see that episode of Top Gear a few months ago (in the UK, probably two years ago ¬_¬) where James May raced these two freerunners through Liverpool? Beat him by a mile, it was wicked.

Ya, Thats what got me interested in Parkour in the first place, It was savage

[DieWalkure]

It was, wasn't it? Also, the first five minutes of 007: Casino Royale. That black actor was one of the founders of the (pseudo?)sport.

I'm didn't know about that parkour scene but there is really good chase scene at the beginning of 'District B13' which I am pretty sure featured one of the founders of Parkour. Here is a YouTube video of the scene.

Parkour is a great outdoors activity.

For those new to Parkour, I'll give you a few hints on how to get started. Meet up with Free-Runners in an around your town.

If you live in a fairly large city and are interested in Parkour, it's your lucky day. Large cities mean two things: A fair amount of roofs to run, as well as a guaranteed amount of actual runners...

Sadly most Free-Runners are snobs who look down on 'Newbs' to their sport/activity. There are a few 'nice' runners who will help you find roofs and show you routes over the rooftops...
