Watch this video

Found via spiritualmonkey:

Don't look at me, right now. Don't you talk to me. You watch that video, and then you Go. Away.

I am so tired as to be Physically Ill, this morning, so let's just watch the video and go about our separate ways.

AWESOME! thanks so much for that. Hopefully I'm swinging by to catch this tomorrow night: http://trace-elements.com.au/

LOVE Parkour

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's really quite freaking awesome.

[jerem-morrow.livejournal.com]

Parkour is an addiction of mine.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I've been wanting to try it... I have no idea how one starts, though...

[jerem-morrow.livejournal.com]

You already have. Everyone has. The things you see practitioners doing, you know, intuitively, how to follow suit. I assume you've read their manifestos and checked the sites for insights?

[wolven.livejournal.com]

To a point, but not as much as I probably should be.

Got any links to point me in the right directions?

[pir8m1k3y.livejournal.com]

just find a local group and start off on the ground :D

links? try:

Thank you, very much, for those. Starting on the ground is definitely good advice, here...

A few...

I'm sure there are loads more I'm unaware of. Also, see the film "Yamakasi" and "Precinct B13", which this clip is from.

Also, the chap above offered a tip top suggestion. Though, I've found no local Free Running groups.

He's generally full of good ideas (http://grinding.be/2008/05/11/coming-soon-to-tv-justin-timberlake-presents-the-phone/).

I'd need new shoes, though. I'm generally a Combat Boots, kind of guy...

Re: A few...

[jerem-morrow.livejournal.com]

I'll have to add him, just for that.

Ha, same here! My GBXs go with me everywhere. Just last year, i bought my first pair of running shoes in AGES, specifically for basic running and Parkour.

Oh, this is golden:

That is absolutely perfect, and the best lesson to keep in mind at all times.
