So? What's the most impressive thing you think you've done as a traceur? Mine would probably be the first time I jumped and rolled off something more than my body height, simple now but at the time it seemed amazing to me.

It wasn't really all that "cool," but I impressed myself the other day when I was doing precision jumps back and forth between these two parking space curbs when I slipped on one of them and fell at a really weird angle. The next thing I knew I was on my feet again and realized that I'd somehow caught myself and rolled out, purely on instinct. The people I was with were like "Wow, I thought you were gonna eat it, but you somehow made f#cking up look sweet"

Direct result of training.

The most fun thing I've ever done movement wise is frontflipping over a rail. The greatest feeling is just running and diving headfirst over a drop and just flying for a few seconds.

You wanna talk cool??

I once konged a handrail to rush to an automobile accident that happened while we were training.

Unless someone did a dive roll into a burning building filled with school children and bunnies, I win.

But what if he actually saves the bunnies Instead of just diving into a burning building?

Well not the coolest thing I've ever done, but yesterday I konged the trunk of a car. It felt awesome because I had tried to do it a few times before, but had failed.

Relating to parkour the coolest I've done, which at the time it was more embarrassing but looking back it was pretty sweet. But those who have seen my videos have probably seen my bail where I do a perpendicular precision, slip backwards but hang on and swing under the bar, barely missing my head on the concrete. Happened instinctively.

I think the coolest thing that I've done is running and jumping into an under bar. The bar was at my forehead height and the gab was about 18". It felt amazing.

THE RING! The ring at CU boulder. It looks hard, and it's pretty mediocre-ly difficult (too tired, making up words as I go). But ever since I saw it I wanted to try it. Now I have. I failed the first time because I jumped out of it and didn't land in cat position like I was supposed to... but it was awesome.. I felt accomplished...

Edit: Shouldn't the title of the thread be "The Coolest Thing You've Ever Done So Far"?

the coolest thing to me was the first day i started to parkour was when i did my first dash vault over a rail.

Rockwell · « **Reply #17 on:** July 20, 2008, 09:53:38 PM »

My first muscle up.

This walkway that is like 15 feet high with about 6 inches of foot room with a rail, it has a right angle and at that angle one of my friends was taking forever to walk across and all my friends were scared so i jumped about 5 feet landed on the other edge and spinned. It was really easy and i do it often but they thought it was the shit and completely scary
