What most folks don't realize, is that most of that isn't too hard to pull off.
Some of it, yeah takes practice (The corner running thing is hard), but for the most part, all that separates anyone in half-decent shape from that guy, is he's not afraid to fall and skin his knee.

I will believe you when you upload your own video compilation of one-handed free-running.

easy to say it when you're a fatass keyboard warrior. It is not easy, even if you're in great shape. Stop talking out of your hater ass.

Yeah... as someone who is very much in shape and who actually trained with professional traceurs in DC at Primal Fitness for 4 months, it ain't easy... the only easy part is falling and hurting yourself. And that's if you're doing it with two hands.

I actually agree with you, Omega.

I was watching it and thinking "I did most of this stuff when I was a kid, just jumping around on things and being a dork."

Maybe I should have filmed myself.

Oh well, hindsight's 20/20

I don't think he was being a hater, just making a probably accurate point. That's what makes parkour so cool - it takes some decent running shoes, a pretty in-shape body, and a lot of balls.

I'm not seeing any sweet disarming, or murdering of henchmen. Color me unimpressed.

When I'm reincarnated, I'm totally going to train my body from a young age into something that can do that. It's too late for my blobish form now. :(

The bike trick was cool, when he jumped off and got back on. Nice.

I hate this whole parkour outbreak ever since videogames, i have been a traceur for 4 years, and it just makes me a little angry that this wonderful discipline has only become popular because of videogames


P.S. skateboarding is for douchebags

the guy has vids from years ago. looks to me as if he was into the game because it involves things he can actually do.

Man, this guy really, desperately, wants an oppressive government regime that he can fight by... running over things. I mean, I'm not denying he's a ninja, but he's also a ninja who just ran up and down a park and some railings.

I would break my neck doing any and all of those tricks (even the dice ones) but I think it is fair to say that unless there's a guy after you, or you're carrying a vaccine, an extended sequence of free-running would make you look like someone single-mindedly chasing a bee.

the only thing remarkable was the similarity of the camera angle to mirror's edge.

other than that, this was a complete showoff. skateboard? dice? pants? what the hell man.

I agree about the dice part. Cool as it was, it didn't fit with the rest of the video. And the skateboarding was stretching it a little. Overall though, still impressive.

Imagine this much head bobbing in the real game.

Incredible though. I absolutely love Parkour. The cycle piece was superb! Awesome!

I wouldn't mind - it looked pretty cool. As long as they don't spam it I think it would be refreshing addition.

hey may have skills, but it doesn't cover up the fact he looks like a virgin.

Wow...you know if people are virgins or not just by looking at them for 2 seconds on a video. That is a rare gift indeed.

I'm wholly impressed on holding one camera in his hand while doing some of the amazing feats, some talent there for sure.

PARKOUR, in being a physical activity, versus a neural activity, the ability be in touch with and feel, or in the case of a video game SEE, one's appendages in motion is key to enjoyment and safety. MEANING, i can't stand MIRROR'S EDGE because it doesn't feature a THIRD-PERSON avatar.
