Street Climbing, Free Running or Parkour 😄

It's awesome... In the park where I ride there are some guys doing this
stuff 😄

Some videos are really impressive:

Bye!

I've watched both of those videos and neither of them contained any real
parkour.

They were nearly all urban tricking and buildering with a few elements
of parkour thrown in.

Le Parkour is not about huge jumps on rooftops, it's about fluid
efficient movement with none of these fancy flips and stopping to turn
around just so you can backflip off a wall.

I like the way you illustrate your point by linking to a clip that uses
parts of the original video (0:23 for example) 😄

But, yes, should be in JC

Hooray! one person got it right! 😄
the constant mix up of free running and parkour is one of the things
that annoys me most in the world!
parkour is, essentially, go as fast and eficient as possible,
freerunning is when you do tricks. I would disagree however, in that
"huge jumps" can be a part of parkour, but only if they help your
"line'

all that being said, this doesn't belong in this forum.

wouldn't just running around the obstacles be quicker in most cases
then?
