What More Can Be Said About Parkour?
Posted in Full Body, Fitness Discussions on the December 26, 2007
I am standing by my original statement that “Parkour/freerunning” is by far, the most interesting extreme sport/culture that has come into fame in the last decade. Although it still remains a French dominated lifestyle, it is slowly spreading worldwide. It is the defined as moving from one point to another in the quickest most efficient manor. The freerunning is where the flips and the showmanship steps in which is an added bonus to many fans, but frowned upon by some Parkour originators. Arguments aside, it is incredible to watch and even more inconceivable to try by us average humans. Enjoy this video, it will amaze as usual.




Both of my sons are gymnasts (ages 14 and 12) and that run up the wall and back flip off thing is something they both do regularly! (Made me crazy at first — now I’m used to it!)
