Yeah. I saw this, but didn't think much of it. Sometimes it's OK, but if you're comparing extreme-walking to parkour OR free-running, you gotta' learn a little bit more.

But I'll let it go because it's Cracked.

On an unrelated note, Shin-kicking is clearly a manly way to pass the time.  Who wants to play?

It's not a terminology mixup. Free-style walking=PK/FR for people who don't condition at all. The origins part gives it away. You can find videos on YouTube. IMO, practitioners look extremely akward.

They shouldn't have thrown the word free-running in there, though.

There's an article interviewing the current champ. I've known about ferret-legging for a while, but I realized it would be safer and less painful to do parkour. :(
