Hey, I'm new to Parkour
« on: January 17, 2010, 06:03:07 PM »
Well, I've actually known about it for a year, but I recently started trying it. Are there any tips for getting started?

PS I'm 12 right now, turning 13 in about 4 months.

I'm pretty sure this goes Here...


Or if not I'll answer based on my opinion. Make sure to condition, you know work out for what you are trying to do in parkour. Second would be stay ground level. Please for the love of what ever entity there is stay off the roofs and high drops! Practice landing and rolls at ground level, vault at ground level and don't go out of your way to "impress" someone with a high drop or something. You'll only get flamed. Also don't get discouraged when something doesn't turn out right. Just keep drilling until you get it. Also if there is a parkour community in your area I'd suggest getting involved.

Meh... Not in a... typative (o.0 the wah?) mood right now.
