So I am into Parkour. Anyone even know what that is? I know a bunch of specials have been done about it but not many people I tell it to even know what it means. It's sad too cause I have a hard time practicing alone. My buddy who used to run with me bailed, moved, and we were friends since like 3rd grade (I'm now 23). This blows.

before i continue i have to state.... no homo...

now that that is out of the way, parkour is a beautiful art form better known as free-running and if i had the time or a good place to train it, I would. Good luck with training man.

He meant to say he was "not homo" I believe. I don't have time to train either... so I don't. I foolishly just go out there from time to time and run.

Also, no, it's called Parkour. Free Running is something that we Americans ALWAYS DO. We have to make it sound less offensive because we want to offend the least amount of people possible. Like Freedom Fries or Democrats ARE nice people. Those two terms mean nothing.

I haven't fallen yet. My buddy and I once climbed the parking deck in Gainesville at the Georgia Mountain Center. It was mucho fun.

go to YouTube and watch the ESPN E:60 interview. The lady they make do the interview... I'd punch her in the throat. It's not a sport... give me a f*&^ing break.


Edit: Couldn't get the link to work. Go to YouTube and type in "Parkour E:60"

AKA: Yup, it's cool and been talked about before. :) It is insanely awesome to watch and if my body had a hint of cooperation in it, I'd try it too.

I have been neglecting my training but moving closer to Athens, I am excited. There is a group there called The Athens Parkour Project.

It is intense. The new Mazda commercial featured traceurs (that's what the people are called).
