American Parkour

Aight good i dont like strife haha

Alright il take a bow here, in the end its all about preference.

the hardest part of training for me is how people to react to you. they usually have one of four responses: 1. woah! thats awesome. 2. stop climbing around. 3. can you teach me that? 4. Hardcore parkour! (making fun of you). the second and fourth are the hardest to me, because i have a strong head and a fiery temper. how you react to people reacting to you is how people perceive parkour. if you want it to get like skateboarding, where there are signs preventing it, react badly. if you want people to come to terms with it, react well. make this your mantra when somebody doesnt approve of your actions.

i have a theory why Russians are so f'ing crazy. its so cold, they cant feel the pain when they do a 30 foot superman.

i have to disagree with Kyle. minimalist shoes are great, if your like me and you only use them every other training. they are great for learning proper technique. the KO's arent exactly minimalist, so they are the perfect shoe for parkour. dont get ariakes, the grip fails on slick surfaces, and it wears out fast, not to mention that the ariakes cost $100, wheras the KO's cost 55

Im a big metal head so. . .

Amen. It always seems to me that most traceurs dont have any music induviduality. Most videos you see only have dubstep.

i saw it on Top Gear, thought that's crazy son. i want to try that. learned a roll and forgot about it. few months later my friend starts doing some stuff at cross country, im like, whats that? he says parkour, i start learning some basic vaults, then were training after school, meet somebody who also does parkour, make a group, start training together, become best friends, and now we train as much as possible. 

main thing i would say is what has already been said, try to go up way more than out, i used to do the same thing, but now im better about it.

Thanks for the advice man! I remember how to do them, im just trying to balance out my parkour and free running, which is tipping towards the latter, which is not good. But il try it out, thanks

i agree with grip. i think he was probably meant, don't try this double flyaway in your backyard, or that huge gap. Ive never met Ryan Doyle, but i don't think he would purposely discourage people from getting into parkour.
