Naked free running = better awareness? o.o
« on: March 14, 2010, 07:16:22 PM »
-here is where the perverts hoping to find some random hot girl stripping and doing cat leaps get disappointed-

I posted this in socialize because no matter how serious I am here, does anyone expect serious replies?
Not really, maybe some but it's just so funny sounding I doubt it will get much serious replies.

Me and my friend were just joking around about free running, he doesn't really get it no matter how much I explained it to him so I don't mind joking around with him about free running really same as he doesn't mind when I make soccer jokes.

He was like "Do a naked flip and tell me how amazing it is" I was like "What the f#ck are you smoking?"
We laughed and didn't even think anything of it.

Then I'm getting out of my shower and I'm like "Would it even be that much different?" (lol...) I remember reading about this band of warriors who ALWAYS went into battle naked because when they were fully exposed, they were hyper aware. Kind of like when you're speeding you notice every damn car around you, and whether or not it has government plates when normally you wouldn't notice if the plates were neon pink or not.

So I did a naked front flip.
Oddly enough, it did feel a lot different.



I was literally like super aware of everything. I never un tuck at the exact right time, so far my landings have been kinda iffy, but when I did one naked, I was like completely aware of when I needed to un tuck perfectly. I landed PERFECTLY and realized "Holy shit, you really DO get kinda hyperaware", it was really interesting, to be honest.

Please, even though this is in socialize and a completely odd topic, I'd like some real replies. It is really interesting to me...

I just don't like my stuff jingling around. Trust me, It happens, and I don't like it.

Other than that, maybe that's why Tarzan is a bad ass vine-swinger.

I crunch when I stretch in PE, a naked front flip is a lot more appealing than that...

Just think, it could be worse than "jingling" as you put it. :P

HAHAHAHAHA you're right. I guess I'll try a run with tight underwear, one day.

I've also noticed that baggy hoodies (vs tight ones, or none) make my flow seem crappy. :P

Yeah I nomallu don't wear Hoodies when training becuase of the kill of flow

I'd assume going naked is like going barefoot, you do notice everything on the ground as apposed to to barely paying attention in boots. It'd be interesting to try at night or something though lol

Flying junk be almost like more freedom?

Nudist beach!
Wait, there ARE plenty of nudist beaches, nudist beaches with grassy areas and picnic tables, you could totally set stuff up there, actually.
Holy crap, it kinda scares me I am actually thinking about that. xD

Nudist beaches are scary, you never know what people are naked, meaning elderly or others. But from a woman's perspective I wouldn't do it unless it was my own home gym or home. Personally I would feel uncomfortable to do that. I have walked around naked in my own home but moving like that would feel so, I dunno. It would just feel weird even though you are super aware of what's around you. *shrug* My thoughts are all jumbled so if it doesn't make sense I'm sorry.

@Mr.WW2: Yeah, options are limited. :P Big time. xD

@Ashley: if you had a walled up area with a bunch of things to vault, would you really? Or just speculating,like "Well, yeah maybe"?

@Matt: Touche.

Why don't think about just wearing a swim suit?? you know, do that on any beach, socially acceptable in most situations, limits the flying junk. Just an idea...:P ;D

Well, you see the British guys training in their underwear all the time (if they're doing water stuff) - just get shorts like those. Or go in your skivvies. It'll be really funny to people walking/going by, but idc. Haha.

My sweatpants, t-shirt, and shoes with socks let me roll a D20 for a saving throw when I mess up instead of a D3. I like my clothes. :D
