Hi everybody!

If you haven't heard about Parkour already, then check out www.urbanfreeflow.com or www.parkour.com and get ready to be blown away! Seriously, this is so cool! Shocked

I've thought about quitting footbag and go with this instead! Naah, I wouldn't, but maybe combining them or just do both! But check the sites now, instead of listening to me babbling on and on and on...

yeh this shit is pretty cool, i think its called Le Parkour, it was pioneered by the French i believe.
it was a Nike commercial a while ago, with a guy being chased through town by a chicken, and the guy was doing all this kind of stuff

When I found out about this I was all excited and stuff and I played around with it.

Then I realized that they were just a bunch of normal people who decided to give stupid names to things everyone does anyways.

Know how to jump off shit? you're set.

Ha yeah, my friend told me about this about the same time I got into footbag. The whole thing is pretty cool, but it seems you gotta really like it unless it becomes kinda boring, since you cant get good without practicing.

why does anyone would want a game about some folks running around in town?i mean,dont these programmers have something better to do?like...making a "*insert famous footbagers name here* pro footbager" game? Mr. Green

away from the kidding,i saw some documentary on the tv about this,and i think its just nutts,jumping around between houses and stuff,but at least it looks very cool,but it would be nothing i would do!
