A friend and me just started to get into it, it's possibly the most fun I have ever had while doing something that's also good for you, besides herb of course. I'm just starting so obviously I'm not that good yet and I used to despise running in all it's forms so it ain't easy yo. But defiantly worth it, so anyone else here practice free running or parkour?

I practice every now and then, and so far I'm pretty good.


At most I can make 3 steps up a perpendicular wall.

Been doing it for 2 years. I still can't flip very well, but I never needed to.
I stopped for a while after tearing a muscle in my leg by running up a 20ft wall, then bouncing off the wall to a metal security fence behind me. I pushed off wrong which twisted the muscle, then the force of landing against the fence just ****ed it up.

It's cool shit though.

Should be around 3 years now. Like lake, I stopped for awhile because of a leg injury, torqued my leg and tore off some bone from my shin.

Yeah pretty much same here, the only things here are at campus and those are kinda too advanced for us right now.

I can do a matrix backflip off a wall and do 3 steps up a wall, which is really all I need to grab onto any roof.

Can you talk, with grammar?
I'm not a grammar freak but its really hard to understand you.

Anyways, I've been thinking of trying Parkour in the off season for baseball.
Which is gonna start after next week.
