Re: Looks like a fun way to overcome boredom
I think I'll stick with my computer games.
i used to me able to injure myself sneezing (a weakness in my back from playing football when I was younger), doing just a couple of them stunts would probably have ended up with my lying on the floor in agony.

"Freerunning". Cool occupation, cool link. Look up a program called 'Jump London' that aired here in the UK.
Would love to see an outtakes package though.

Re: Looks like a fun way to overcome boredom
It just looks awesome and fun to do. Same for those people jumping down buildings step by step very fast. It looks rather easy but you need balls and a bit of balance.

Re: Looks like a fun way to overcome boredom

Re: Looks like a fun way to overcome boredom
i even have problems with doing head roles, so trying this doesn't seem a good idea for me. it also seems a pretty boring and retarded hobby.

Re: Looks like a fun way to overcome boredom
There are 2 french movies about freerunning that are very good
-Yamakasi
-Banlieu 13
Both of them are good movies and have cool stunts in them.
Recommend them if you're into freewalking

No. They can also use "Daz" or "Bold" or some other type of liqui-tab. Anyway, the clip was pretty cool, and there is no way I could ever even attempt any of those stunts; it would kill my back.

Damn ninjas. I can't say I enjoy watching them destroy their knees though.

Re: Looks like a fun way to overcome boredom
I used to do a bit of this, nothing even remotely close to their level... 360's down 6 sets and a tree jump from garage roof hang from branch and soft drop I think was the maximum I managed to achieve.... I did do something though which I haven't seen any of these guys do though.... Its kind of like grinding banisters, using one shin and one foot. Was pretty cool I thought anyway....

Re: Looks like a fun way to overcome boredom
Very cool link, and it also made me think of the old prince of persia, and thats always a plus.
While watching that movie I also just couldn't stop thinking about the lyrics from that sunscreen song from Baz Luhrman: "Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone".

Re: Looks like a fun way to overcome boredom
Pretty cool.
Me and my friends have made a couple of DVDs but they're both half jackass ripoff, half just film our student years and road trips for the hell of it. No stunts anywhere close to that level of athletics.
