Is Minoru Yamasaki turning in his grave?


No. Probably regretting his unique architectural design for the World Trade Centers regarding weight-bearing that permitted the floors to "pancake" down and turn both buildings into rubble.

hi,
learn yourself for the first 6 months doing vaults precisions under-bars gaps cat leaps cat balances pull-UPS sit-ups muscle ups you name it!!
when u are ready explore your area for new places bars and walls .
watch videos on the Internet. you learn from falling so think positive
then maybe start finking about joining a team/club

freerunners: back flips….?

I do parkour so I don’t do many of those fancy tricks freerunners do so I was wondering what do freerunners think is easier a backflip a front flip or a wall flip

A backflip is the easiest of the three. Well, It is the easiest once you have perfected it. It takes very little endurance, and It is simple and fun. However, it takes courage.

The easiest to LEARN is a frontflip.

But a wall flip is without question the hardest of the three. It takes more skill and endurance. It is hardest to learn, and the hardest to perform.

How can I do the "WALL-RUN" with FreeRun?

There’s a wall, I want to climb it but I dont know how!
Maybe you guys can help me! :)

And maybe you can send me a website or video link with instructions!

ha bit more description would help
i’m no expert but you get used to jumping/scaling them when being chased by people/guards etc

eh well if we are talking an average 7-9 foot wall get a run try land 3 steps in and hoist yourself up.

if it is bigger use things around it to your advantage (trees, pipes,sidewall to run and boost up)
google it yourself cmon thats just lazy now lol.
it takes practice but is useful oh and runners beat shoes by a mile

How to get started in Free Running?

I’ve been reading several articles and watching several instructional videos on the sport of free-running and parkour. I consider myself to be in great physical condition and I have no doubt that I would have no problems learning the techniques.

My question is for anyone who is involved with free running/parkour.
How did you get started? What did you do to practice and learn when you were just starting out?

Any and all tips and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

i’ve onli just started out myself but i just chilled out n watched ppl doing it n asked them if they could teach me the basics

Who is better? David Belle or Sebastian Foucan?

I’m tallking about the parkour movement (the so called free running) and the two guys that are the founders of it. So please answer if you’re really interested in this sport not only for earning points. Thank you. David Belle, I love you!!!

well, i have read alot abou tboth of them, and i also do parkour, i would say David, because his father taught him it after he made it up in the war, he came home and told his son David abou it, then David told Sabastian about it, and they both started, i think David is better because he brought it up and he wanted to keep it a sport when all Sebastian wanted to do was use it to get out of london. thats all i know :)
