Ok guys today during gym class I was having a bunch of fun playing Volley ball. Then gym class ended and I decided to do a simple vault over a railing. I have done this railing many times. This time I some how lost balance or something and fell head first. I got a severe concussion. I got a cat scan and all this shit. Today was a bunch of bullshit. I already hate the new year.  |

I agree, you were asking for it. And I'm really sorry but Sean, from your last couple topics...I just dont think you get what parkour really is. Granted, there's been many a discussion on what it is but I think you have a lot to still figure out.
Next time be more careful or dont do it at all.

Guys I know what parkour is ok. Gettiing from one destination to another with little or no hesitation. Like point A to B.
I also know the difference between free running and parkour. Free running is with tricks.

Thats actually not what free running is and not really what parkour is. You may know the "textbook" definition of parkour but in posts where you say that you are doing gainers off 15 foot tall stuff just to impress people that shows everybody here that you are ignorant and quite possibly stupid.

it IS a little more complicated than that... parkour was developed to be able to escape from a pursuitor or to get to a certain point in the fastest time possible. now i can see where the second option would fit into school, if you were running late for class... now, i can see where u might want to practice at school...i do it all the time. but i have permission from the school board and its really not that hard to get it...just explain how it better than going around selling drugs and all that...  but hey, sry about the whole concussion and everything. hope it all turns out ok... |

How was he asking for it. He did a simple vault, One he's done thousands and it just went bad. shit happens. everyones bailed b4, some are bad some are not. we all put ourselves at these calculated risks when doing parkour. 99.9 percent of the time, cuzz of our skillz and hard training were not gonna bail. but shit happens, clipped his feet. I don't think he was asking for it.

I find it amusing that every time someone is put in a place of power or influence they use it to impose their views, definitions, and standards on everyone else. The truth is, nobody here knows the true definition of what parkour truely is. I dont, you dont, and the people who "set the standard" for PK in America dont. Get off your high horse and quit telling other people that they do not understand PK just because of your opinion on a few of the posts they have made, and because their "understanding" of PK doesn't meet your stringent and oh so refined ideology of what PK is. Stupidity is in human nature and all of us have been guilty of doing stupid things. The real thing you should be getting on people about is not learning from their mistakes. Everyone was once a "newb". Talking down on them because you know more or have read up on the subject is another thing I see many of the "True PK/Freerunners" do around here. Thats some BS. If you guys arent going to be constructive about these posts then you shouldn't waste your time bothering with them. Step down off your throne and go out and do something (the fact of the matter is, most of the down talking comes from people who I see on here way too much, and I highly doubt they cut into their precious internet chat time to actually go do something productive).
All of the people guilty of doing this, of trying to impose THEIR definition of what PK is and should be are always talking about the philosophy of parkour, about being "free" and "without boundaries". About not following the normal flow of things and about having choice. It's all hypocrisy. You guys are trying to strictly define parkour, the means of training, and the philosophy. I honestly believe that most of the people doing this mean well in their attempts to define what they are doing for others to follow, but by putting out the message that "this is the standard" and that you guys are the best is just wrong. Do not define it, just offer a means of guiding.

Boom you obviously have an inferiority complex and a problem of authority. You are making a very serious accusation that nobody in the US knows what parkour is. There are people in this country who have completely focused their lives around parkour and its positive growth.
Edit: Took out the cusswords because of my mutual respect of Johnny Boy.

Chill out Sat. Even if you think he's wrong, there's no call for that.

i disagree, i support sat, maybe not his useage of strong language, but i do support what he is saying. boom seriously, think about what you're saying, are you in turn, inferring that ONLY people in europe know what its all about, i mean it has been over there longer but some of the people in the US have already been doing it for a rather long time(more than 5 years im my opinion is what i use as a standard to call a long time for a US based traceur ). and honestly if someone can do something for 5 years or more dedicatedly and almost religiously and not have a failry good idea about what they're doing then they'd have to be and idiot or retarted, which i can ASSURE you those people are not. im not arguing with the other things you've said(altho i might after a closer re-read), only the statement about traceurs in the US. also i recomend whoever the mod is for this section or m2 lock it or delete it as it will surely not continue well from here on out. |

Yeah, lets lock the thread as soon as someone stands up for the new guy who just got his head busted open after a bad bail. I'm sure that will send the right message about how accepting, friendly, and community-based we are.
Really guys, I'm sick of people posting negative, hurtful comments on these boards. Parkour is supposed to be about mutual sopport and encouragement. If you are concerned that Sean is endangering his health by not warming up, stretching, and knowing his surfaces (as I am), then simply say as much without getting down on him and making him want to turn away from these forums, or even from parkour.
Furthermore, TBC has an excellent point in that there are a lot of people here that want to strictly define every last thing about parkour, while they at the same time loudly espouse the free and flowing nature of the art. I have seen one post after another offering harsh criticism and ridicule, often directed at "new" members, with little to no attempt to further the practitioner or the practice.
If you only have negative things to say, please keep them to yourself.
Sean, I'm sorry to hear about your injury. Take care of yourself and get well soon. We all bail sometimes, but be more careful in the future, and try to learn from your mistake.

My  promise for the month: three sets of handstand pushups (upto 5 reps now...) I keep having these dreams that I'm falling. The strange thing is, when I wake up, They keep coming true. |

i said nothing about locking because of that, nor was i even arguing about that, i simply suggested it as regardless as whats being said or how it is being said, tempers are seeming to flair on this topic, and regardless what direction it takes there will end up being a bunch of people bickering on this thread, which will help no one. |
