Buildering
« on: February 01, 2006, 04:02:52 PM »
An urban sport which shares the theme of urban exploration with Parkour. The climbing skills used in buildering can be adapted, or simply used as-is in Parkour. Buildering.net, based in Canada, is a good site to check for more info.


Buildering.net decribes buildering as "climbing a man-made structure, of which the design is for purposes other than climbing."

Oh yeah, that guy was me, back when I lived in NY

I don't do it anymore though, there are no buildings in colorado worthy of my buildering embrace.

Yo could always go to Denver, unless you are scarred of course :o. 

I like buildering on my dogs house, it's pretty freaky being 3 feet off of the ground though, so I don't do it often :)
