So you thought orienteering was hard?

[rosalind]

Hmmm, our weapons of mass distraction, eh?

[Shea]

Yes. Nukes seem a little inappropriate

Oh for crying out loud, can we keep all this one worded reply Too Shea nonsense to the Irish forum please? It's getting a bit testing.

the boy is partly right.
I have been practising the urban sport of Le Parkour since about march and i feel obliged to rant at you that the particular video in question IS NOT PARKOUR!
Parkour is the art of flow and movement to efficiently conquer obstacles etc in your way.(it was originally created for effective escape in emergencies)

While some elements in the vid are parkour moves, many of them fall into the category of "tricking" not parkour.
sorry to dissapoint any of you but the most efficient method of using a wall as an obstacle is not to flip it. the person in question is obviously quite good at tricking and its fun to watch - just dont confuse it with real parkour
rant over.

if anybody liked jump london, they should see jump britain also.

Parkour = Dangerous

hell yeah if done recklessly but if done carefully and not in the rain (ow my shins) then no more so than orienteering.

dude i must have influenced you...

(you know what im talking about)

I agree some of that isnt "strictly" "le" "parkor" is parkor with or without a "u"?---

[Becks]

I thought that it was Parcours - cours being some form of the french verb courrir "to run." But I might be completely wrong.

[FatBoy]

You are right Becks, althouth courir isn't double R. However as usual we brits have to up a foriegn language and spell it differently. A beautiful french play on words using the "c" from parc and the "c" from cours is ruined by using a k.

i know what your talking about but you are completely wrong my boy

and yes it was originally created as Le Parcours but i think it was Urban Freeflow (t*ssers) who managed to somehow implant a k and now it is generally known as that in the UK and most of US, im sorry it's a twitch of mine to spell it like that
