a scoot into a touch-down raiz

This subforum has just become parkour word puns.

what the heck! stop bringing up zombies!

That's just mind over matter. Just because you do all those things when you 'imagine' an object doesn't negate the mechanics involved.  Worrying about your arms and 'stuff' all has to do with blocking and tucking.

If he's landing on his butt, it has nothing to do with trajectory. He could shoot out 10 feet of stay in place, his trajectory is determined from the point of takeoff. The rotary force however is what gets him tucked/untucked. If you only jumped 6 inches off the ground, and tucked super hard, you would probably still make it all around.

Reducing the radius length makes an object spin faster. In effect, tuck harder, spin faster.
Apply gratuitously so blocking, and youll have a delicious front flip

Sounds like you mightnot be tucking hard enough.

also, remember, dont look at the ground when you takeoff!

I see what you're saying.
I guess also, as many tests seem to have trouble isolating is the type of exercise to which nutritional breakdown would be relevant(laboratory bike tests vs real life movements).

But also to backtrack, this weeks Gatorade Sports Science article is actually on pre-workout nutrition affecting time to failure...but again it upholds more to endurance type events. The conclusions that I found relevant were that a carbohydrate focused meal(although there is debate as to the type and administration of these carbohydrates) approx 3 hours prior to training, following a night fast increased glycogen levels an appreciable amount and positively noticeably performance.

Furthermore, newer research is showing that eating 30-1hour prior to exertion actually does not make much of a difference-as opposed to what was once believed.

Another conclusion that was stressed was that these findings applied to endurance events to failure...and did not effect time-trial results...which I guess is sort or relevant since parkour is not really a competition exertion...but rather a gradual training.

Well, I meant training on an empty stomach, as most people that train in the morning, wake up with an...empty stomach. 



Waiting after EATING, not waiting after training?



Can you give me some examples that this does not uphold as a general context of carbohydrate and protein ratios?
Like do you mean quality of carbohydrates consumed, or perhaps type of proteins?...

thanks for your input!

Currently, there is no definite agreed cause of DOMS...but I don't believe that the lack of carbohydrate nutrition is included in any of the theories? 

Alot of good points already stated here.

If you work out early in the morning, and need energy, its important to have a carbohydrate dense dinner the night before(carbo-loading? im sure youve done it for sports before).

Many people(as in the norm population) choose to not eat before they do morning training because it activates your metabolism, and subsequently burns excess fat from your body first, instead of processing the food you just ate.
Again, personal preference.

However, it is important to wait a little bit after eating, to train. Otherwise you cramp(like waiting to swim after you eat?) Since your stomach is requiring more blood to process the food.

As already mentioned, post-training nutrition is important.  I believe that it is recommended that you eat within 30 mins of finishing training, to prevent your body from entering a catabolic state- to which your muscles will break down to supply you with energy.

Also important is carbohydrate to protein ratio.   If you dont have enough carbohydrates, your consumed proteins will be iused for immediate energy, instead of building broken muscle.

Money is not an issue??

Okay, i'll be the instigator here.

Although I respect the enthusiasm, there seem to be some very large hiccups in this idea?

I flipped through the other thread again, and this was one of the most prominent things i found:



So you don't know anything about business.
Does your "guy" know anything about business?
Where are you guys getting this money to buy real estate, and then fully furnish it? A bank loan? Do you have a business plan? Startup expenses; Estimated income; loan maturation; marketing plan; insurance expenses; etc. etc. etc.

What qualifications does this guy or (no offense), you have to open a parkour gym? Yes, you might have a few years(if that) of practice, but apparently your "partner" has none.
So you have no parkour qualifications(of which under PAWA and worldwide discussions, im guessing you nor many people here are certainly not qualified or ready for), no gymnastics certifications, no martial arts certifications, nor any type of physical coaching certs.

Gymnastic padding (especially a constructed plyo floor) are incredibly expensive.



This entire thing sounds incredibly sketchy to me.

Wasn't there a subforum for advertising?

you guys know that the parkour for that movie was done by Team Tempest?

you cant bump your own thread. 

tricks are not bad.

camera quality though...

No. You're wrong. Actually wrong. Not just me telling you.


If you play soccer with a bowling ball, it is no longer soccer. If you're doing PARKOUR, then you're performing the entity that DAVID BELLE formulated.

That's exactly why this statement was released by Belle (http://www.americanparkour.com/content/view/3330/1/)

Too many people were "doing that their heart felt," not properly conditioning, calling other things "parkour," and ultimately creating danger for themselves and for the name of parkour.

Perhaps you should read that New Yorker article as well.

Can you do any flips? usually haters are those who can't.



perhaps you two should read this:

no, thats def a (reverse) dub cork.
