And eventually it will lead to a tunnel.

But yeah, when viewing youtube comments:

1. Don't. Youtube commenters are asshats.
2. If you do, notice the grammar. If it is unreadable, he is probably 12 and can't do what you can.

He said it was a 'menly sport!' Disregard anything he has to say.

Lol. I think Shad0w is being more respectful in his posting than half the people on here

. He's staying civilized, discussing his views, while some of you are just flipping s***. Everyone is welcome to express their views, just please keep it a bit more relaxed.

Also, I'm not sure much more has to be discussed about this. Please remember to read all the posts before you to make sure you aren't posting the exact same thing as something that was covered before. Feel free to post if you have something to add, however.

Thanks.

Achso, ich liebe Freiburg. Ich hoffe dass irgendwann kann ich da wohnen

I'm a female wrestler. Scholastic, like Olympic wrestling, not WWE. Girl's weren't originally supposed to do that either. I laugh at sexist barriers.

Shadow, you need to get over your male ego and realize something. You have a scrotum. That sac is filled with two soft testicles, and boy does it hurt when they get smacked, pinched, twisted, or squeezed. And yet, your procreative future is vulnerable, dangling in a spot where errant knees and slippery rails are fond of pounding.

I would say that counts as a pretty serious disadvantage for the male side.

Oh but surely the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, wouldn't you agree?

To all the haters out there...

How do you define parkour?

Ozzi · « **Reply #65 on:** November 16, 2009, 11:03:51 PM »

Guys please refrain from answering that question here.

Shadow if you are looking for a definition of parkour, you can use this one

Or use the search option for thousands of post about it. I think this thread is for another type of discussion.
Guys please keep it on topic, this thread has already been destroyed several types and in my opinion it deserves to be locked.

What does that have to do with anything? It is movement. Women can move. Watch this inspiring video of a one armed traceur who I would bet is much better than you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9raZHiuh-Y&feature=player_embedded

His body is very different from many other people. Being different doesn't make a difference, that's the thing that you sexist and racist people have to get over. Here is the BIGGEST point you missed though... parkour isn't about being the best or even getting "good." That's not the goal so why would it matter if women couldn't become as good at various moves as women? Parkour is a personal journey and you have absolutely no right to tell someone that they can not go on that journey. And I am going to say this as kindly as I can, you don't deserve to be talked to kindly. People are only doing that in hopes of changing your mind because when you read insulting ones you will not truely try to listen to what they are saying. I don't have much respect for racists and why would I have much respect for you then? I don't see how you could posibly say you are not sexist.

I tried to be as nice as possible but honestly this pisses me off. The one thing every single and I mean EVERY SINGLE one of the founders of parkour and freeruning would agree on is that it is for anyone who wants to try.

So go form your own discipline for narrow minded individuals like yourself.

I can't believe I got sucked in and posted lol.

Well why is it even a discussion? If one person says that lazy vaults are not part of parkour does that even make sense? That is how ridiculous this is. Just because you think girls have no part in parkour means nothing and shows you don't know much about parkour. I'm sorry I got sucked in to this. Normally I just ignore it but... yeah. Like I said, get off the forums maybe and form a new sport? Or you could think about what parkour is all about a little harder? We are welcoming to every kind of person here. And animals as demonstrated by Ozzi's dog on the front page.

Yea I realize that, but there's a point where posts just start to look stupid and sexist. He has not supported any evidence that a girls body can hinder her from doing Parkour or given any good reason why they shouldn't do it. So until he gives me scientific evidence that a girl can't do Parkour without serious risks, I'm still going to call him out.

Why of course women shouldn't do Parkour, they should stick to trying to be efficient at making sandwiches

Don't listen to haters, your a great practitioner

But think how much more efficient we'd be if we could vault over the couch!

Jesse Wharton · « **Reply #72 on:** November 17, 2009, 08:12:58 AM »

Lol that kid has the brain power of a deceased squirrel, I told him that romanians shouldn't go on youtube because they don't know how to spell (not seriously) just to show him another angle of the same thing. He said that ""you just made you a rassist" and got pissed and me. this is after him spewing crap about how we have our own "opinions" and that hatred against women is actually just diversity.

Good work! Keep training!
Stick it to the man! (pun intended)

Trever Floyd · « **Reply #74 on:** November 17, 2009, 12:21:04 PM »

obviously this guy doesn't know the true meaning of parkour... its for everyone and he probably sucks! but don't let it get to you. keep training and have fun!

Casey Boatwright · « **Reply #75 on:** November 17, 2009, 12:38:22 PM »

Don't think this is off topic cuz it's not, this is my video response to anyone who feels parkour is only for a select few.

i think it dosent matter if ur a girl or boy parkour is for all people and should be enjoyed

Anguish12 · « **Reply #79 on:** November 18, 2009, 07:34:07 AM »

I think Tracueses are awesome!!
If a chick walked up to me, and showed me up, I'd be glad.
Because thats what we need more of. People {men AND woman}
that are not affraid to help by hurting.
It's called harsh reality! Woman can do A LOT more stuff then
guys can do, look at cheerleading, not many guys even try
that stuff!! Then Parkour came along!!
That's my oppinion!!
