Dim Monk's summer 2005 video
« on: December 18, 2005, 11:11:38 AM »
this is roughly what parkour is. yes, there were some very very tiny things that could have been done differently, but yea, this is what parkour looks like. (btw, this was posted on the parkour.net forums.)

Yeah I saw this, it's Dim Monk from canada. Really nice video!
Maybe it's french rap that makes a video actual parkour? :p

Edit : Forgot to mention how much I friggin' love his QM, especially the gorilla style. I heard M2 at the jam yesterday talking about how awesome Dim Monk is at it!

im just going to have to have a geek moment here. eating bannans after Parkour is good,because the counter act the lactic acid your body makes. Latic acid is what makes you sore. At least i think lol

(I believe you are correct PK Gorilla.)

Wow, I really liked this video because he does everything so smoothly and quickly, although some rolls looked a little straight. Overall, one of the best PK traceurs I've seen because he can control his movements so well, and of course perform all the usual moves perfectly.

The all encompassing term for walking on all fours is "Quadrupedal Movement" or QM for short. This covers a very broad range of movement, and is a useful term to know.
