free running on C4

[eddie]

once again i thought it was ace. the jump over the millenium stadium nice nice.

maybe add some flags and a map and you could have some sport on your hands

anybody in the burgh who didn't catch it i transcribed it to old skool vhs

anyway i'm of to the forth bridge for some jumping

[Wattok]

That stuff is so impressive...the boy has no fear

[Nailest]

That's just the sort of thing I've wanted to do every castle I've ever been to in Scotland.

[brooner]

aye me and the boy pyrat been watching that too, right guid jobby going on there, but how many reports in the paper in the next week of people falling off buildings???

[Nailest]

how many reports in the paper in the next week of people falling off buildings???

Or bridges?

Bit dissapointed they didn't go across the top of the Tyne. That would have been fun. Best I ever managed myself was over the Swing bridge, but that was more due to drunkeness than free running.

d'oh, knew there was a disadvantage to not knowing which day of the week it was!

[SJ]

what if you don't make it across

am i misunderstanding this sport

[the duncan]

aye, the jump on the stadium was nuts!!

Looked cool, liked the work they were doing in the gym too! bonkers

[SIman]

free running: sport or art?

(rocky on simans puter)

[samsonite]

art, by definition

[FatBoy]

what if you don't make it across

Then it's more like "Dead Running" than "Free Running".

Stirling Moss once said about racing across the alps (Mille Miglia or something) that when you're driving the size of the drop shouldn't affect your driving speed. It only makes a difference how big the drop is when you go off! I guess the message is why should it make a difference how high it is if it's never in question if you're going to make it.

It was a well cool program - running meets climbing and gymnastics. Sport or art? both!

Or Free-Falling?

Was this a repeat of the programme that was on last year?
