Parkour And Freerunning / Re: Text random workouts
« on: July 20, 2010, 05:27:23 PM »
welp, dan didnt attack it, was just forewarning. recently, i have known ppl that would just do this for training, so highly appreciate Dan's input. and as for the attacks on Dan and immature insults, wth does that show about our community. The whole issue just needs to be dropped, We all understand both sides of the argument. I love this community so much cause its so small and tight-knit, but ive been seen it goin the other way lately, and it really disappoints me. Remember P.L.U.R. yall: Peac. Love. Unity. Respect.

also, i forgot to post my number lol. 219-765-4979

Once I learn how to code of one of my peer's phone spammer program, I'll write a program that either would automatically generates a random workout and sends it to are random number stored in a database of sorts or would, when someone sent the text, just forward that text to a random number in the aforementioned database. Hows that sound?

You know you're a traceur when half your Facebook friends are random people from around the country you've never met, but would do nearly anything for.

soooo very, very true.

when check apk uf & wfpf daily and when you pass an iphone or comp.

Can't forget PKGen ;}

I listed examples of why that's not really viable and I can list some more having given it some more thought.

If everybody took to walking barefoot in a society where there is garbage, glass, and sharp objects all over the surfaces we walk on, it's not unlikely that people would be coming into a building with wounds on their feet. Blood in an establishment opens up a whole other can of worms ranging in severity from grossing someone out to potentially transmitting something like HIV.

I also believe that a business person should have some say in the kind of dress code he or she can allow in their place of business. If they don't want some bare foot person or some obese shirtless man in his establishment, the government shouldn't force him to do otherwise.

Also, there's not many things more ironic than complaining about modernity from a an internet enabled personal computer.

First off, if everyone went barefoot, they'd be more concious about what they toss on the ground. second, I was walking around Chicago barefoot all weekend, and never once steped on a piece of glass or anything of the sort.

And everyone has bulging fat stomachs and private parts too. :/ Not that feet are on the same level, but
I still think they're unsightly. Also, someone walking around without shoes on (and not at the beach) just looks uncivilized.

But that's just me, and I certainly don't come from a foot-friendly place.

but look around, society has ruined us! society has ruined the enviroment!  society has the potential to be a good thing, but unfourtunately thats not the path its taken. to tell you the truth, society(and specificly American society) annoys the living hell outta me. those bulging stoamches are just an example of of how society has corrupted us.

Dom, I agree with many of your points, including the fact that this isn't the biggest problem in the world :) It is just something that I do care about to an extent and was curious to see what people's views were and what reasons existed.

As someone pointed out, the rule appears to have been started as discriminatory towards hippies. - I'd like to hear from people from other countries - as this is obviously a very US centric view.

Are shoes required in most countries? They can't point to the hippies of the 70's in their countries, so where did the laws come from and when? Were there "no sandals no toga no service" signs in ancient Rome? People are pictured in sandals so clearly some people had footwear back then ... also, did they go into battle in slip-ons?

One thing I don't agree with is "it's unfair to expect them to catch up" - I'm not saying you CAN'T wear shoes - just that it should be optional.

Also, that even if we did it it would take a long time - that is the kind of defeatist views that keep people putting up with stuff that is wrong just because they feel they can't change it, and that's a terrible reason to do anything.

i agree completely with and inquire athe same things as M2

and any Traceur should understand that last statment better than anyone else. Just cause it'll take a long time and alot of work to reach our goals, doesnt mean we dont try.

You STILL go to (B)East Coast when you are sick... and end up puking when you get home.

...when you go to the American Rendezvous perfectly healthy, but puke twice the first day from pushing your self so hard.   won me major respect with everyone there ^_^  (or in my group atleast)

you are sun burned because you spent the entire weekend outside, working on parkour and filming dumb videos with your friends.

...when you get sunburn for the first time in your life at the Rendezvous cuz your outside for appox. 16 every, for 3 days, shirtless.

Welcome to the scene y'all! I look forward to training with each and every one of you.

I'm still real new to this, but my name is Jacob, and I started getting interested in parkour through youtube and mirror's edge :P. Anyway, I live in outer chicago area, near crown point. I'm trying to find people in my general area so I can begin working on getting in shape to do this, as well as learning some of the basics hopefully... I'm a sophomore in high school, at 15 ys old.
EDIT: I've done a little bit of jumping around at my school, like on stairways and such, but nothing that I would qualify as serious...

Jake, if you would like to come up to the Hammond/Highland area, theres a group up here that trains together every Saturday. The exact loca and times tends to change from week to week though, so is it cool if we email it to ya?

Parkour And Freerunning / Chat Room for U.P.C.
« on: April 30, 2010, 01:46:55 PM »
So the premier of the Ultimate Parkour Challenge series is coming up, and i thought that someone could setup a chat room to discuss it during the show considering that during the pilot instead of the forums considering the server probably nearly crashed the server judging by how long it took to do anything (LMAO XD) I would do it my self, but i dont know the first thing about chat rooms.  So anyone in to set it up?

Socialize / 2-liter bottle rockets
« on: April 22, 2010, 05:13:10 PM »
OK, so for my science class we have to build rockets using your average plastic 2-liter bottle. The project is graded based upon how far the rocket flys. itll be launched at a 45 degree with around 100 pounds of pressure.  Ive NEVER done anyting of the sort and havent a clue what to do. Any suggestions, tips, trick, etc. etc.?
