My rant on youtube...
« on: January 05, 2008, 05:12:56 PM »
Alright so I'm new to the world of parkour and like most, I got all of my information from the internet. Like most modern beginners, I went to youtube for tutorials, videos of exprienced traceurs etc. But lately, it seems as though parkour is getting diluted and treated as nothing more than a modern acrobatics competion. What I mean more specifically, is that many posts are stupid things like "you sucks, Iz gotz so much more better moevz thans j00, you're like ghey and a n00b". Of course, I know it shouldn't bother me because most of them aren't really traceurs anyway and are just people bringing their halo attitude with them to the videos but still, it really makes me angry. People should be happy that others are doing parkour and learning the art of movement but instead, all you see are people telling eachother that they suck or that something isn't parkour blah blah blah. I guess it cant really be helped and that the only thing we can do is do our best to promote respect. Maybe there should be a tutorial on having a good attitude. Anyways if you read this all the way through, thanks for listening to my rant.

it's mostly just people commenting on youtube videos who do that, just because it's anonymous.  People on these forums almost never do that kind of stuff.
