Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alright. Here's my little introduction to this tool for graffiti writers.

Parkour, or Freerunning is a french martial art/sport. (Leave it to the french to invent a sport about running away).
Basically, you learn to use your surroundings to the best advantage possible. To maneuver around an urban landscape at a maximum speed and success.
Whether you are running from the cops, trying to reach some dope spots, or just want to have some active and challenging fun, this sport is definitley worth checking out as a writer.

Okay, so you won't be doing backflips if you're running from cops. But when it coems down the the basic skeleton of this, it's very effective and very useful.
I've caught some nice high tags and had some fun practicing this. (Even though my experience with parkour only so far involves jusping to and from small gaps, not always a big help, but it progresses)
Check it out, post your thoughts, etc.

Heh heh, Free running is the Trick version of Parkour.

I have heard that the japanese army used to be trained in that sorta s**t ages before the french thought of it, they figured that its faster to get away if you go in a straight line than if you zigzag around junk (Although as I glance briefly at the wiki article I can't see anything about that.)

But anyway, yeah. I love this stuff. There's a bunch of fences and a bridge I practice hopping off on my way to uni every day. It always pays to stay in shape, Although Its not cops I'm worried about, its all the hoods thinking they can just take my stuff without a fight.

They are super amazing ninjas.

"European" Ninjas

Yeah... That was politically incorrect... rofl

I guess... I could argue with that, but I'll save the time and just agree with you... lol
