    YEa, but tricking helps with parkour cuz it has some of the same concepts.

    Parkour is NOT equal to freerunning

    The difference lies in its concepts.

    Parkour focuses on getting from point A to point B,
    Whereas...
    Freerunning focuses on Aesthetics and Appeal.

    Therefore tricking or flips is NOT part of Parkour.

    Urban Freeflow sux ><

    Wow finally some who realizes that besides me. Sometimes when i`m out training people say to me,"are you doing Freerunning ?" i tell them "No i`m doing Parkour". They usually respond "Parkour..Freerunning same thing"

    And yes Urban Freeflow does suck tongue.gif

    You wouldnt believe the ignorance some people show here in Singapore then.

    Because, if you just do a simple lazy vault over a rail they'll be like "OMFGZZZ IS THAT FREERUNNIN!!!???! OMFG DO DOSE FLIPPIES AND FLIES!!! OMFGZORR DO ONE BACK FLIP!!! NOAW!"

    And im like...wtf dude?

    Parkour isn't about climbing buildings and stuff, thats the most misconceptive thing people have about Parkour. Its the art of moving from A to B in the most fluid, efficient way. Climbing buildings count only when It is the fastest route. Most runs are on the ground, over low obstacles.

    Parkour just used to be Parkour until Sabestian Foucan branched out and created Freerunning because David Belle did not intend Parkour to be about showing off and doing flips. All this Yamakasi stuff is influencing the public to think that Parkour is used for like illegal crap. That was why David Belle did not want to star in the movie/s.

    Hmm, I personally don't but if you youtube or google Le Parkour (add the Le to make sure you are getting parkour because you can obviously see that they are confused a lot) there should be a video somewhere.

    I remember doing some Parkour on Tony Hawk's American Wasteland© but it was more free running coz you mainly did flips up walls... Anyone know where I should start? I tried it once but didn't really know what I was doing...

    I'm doing parkour, too. It's much more strenght training that parkour moves training - I'm just 13 years girl, so I think, it's better to train my strenght, coordination, balance, etc., and a bit - parkour moves (Various roll techniques,wallrun, prescisions, cat leaps, some vaults).

    I remember doing something similar to parkour on a long pile of rocks. I love that.

    So how would someone get experience safely if they do not have accesses to a teacher?

    You dont really need a teacher to do parkour safely.
    Just read up on tips how to practise it safely from sites online and you should do fine.
    One very important point when starting out is, just do alot of strength training and conditioning.
    You need to build up your joints so that a problem like your joints wearing out can be avoided.

    One very good article on this is: http://www.teamtraceur.com/goodies/blane_armour.html

    Also, start very small. Dont try the dangerous vaults such as the saut de chat when first starting out.
    Also, try to climb lower walls and then you can build up your confidence as well.
    This is where strength and endurance comes in, climbing.

    If you advance further and decide to climb higher, jump further, you need to build up your "armour"
    Yet again, http://www.teamtraceur.com/goodies/blane_armour.html
    Very good resource.
    This ensures a lower risk of injury, short term or long term.
