Chimmpp March 17, 2007 Share Chimmpp Member March 17, 2007 From what I understand... Parkour moves would be the ones that expense the least energy, so like the guy said in that short vid, it would be more efficient to walk down those steps, or do just one regular jump. Freestyle moves probably just disregard energy usage, and go for what looks the coolest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGeek March 17, 2007 Share TheGeek Member March 17, 2007 The new movie 007 Casino Royal had the guy who made parkour famous. He is the black guy with the scar on his face. It was pretty cool until bond caught up with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thief_Lord March 18, 2007 Share Thief_Lord Member March 18, 2007 I am kinda stuck..... there is not much around my area (by area I mean house) that I can do much of anything on. I took apart a swing (Patio swing) and try to use the bar that connected the two A-frames but it is too tall (around 5'5"). Other than that I have been attempting small, jumping oriented moves; Backflips and the such. (I use parenthesis a lot dont I?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thief_Lord May 10, 2007 Share Thief_Lord Member May 10, 2007 Well, I have actually stuck with it for the most part; but I only have convinced one other person to try it with me. I Tic-Tac'd onto the roof of a park bathroom and got a concussion doing a backflip but hey, It's all good. I just hope i can get more people to try stuff out with me.

Thief_Lord May 15, 2007 Share Thief_Lord Member May 15, 2007 When you say you go to a gym what kind do you mean. Are you saying there are like YMCA's that have this in them, or do you pay to take classes at a Gymnastics gym? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossad May 15, 2007 Share Mossad Member May 15, 2007 (edited) your dropping your chin on the tucks and not setting fully through your shoulders, you're also counter rotating most of your flips and rolling through your hips. Oh and when you're doing your side sumis try an under arm reach you'll get more lift than from the classic over arm throw. just an fyi! I have a few kids that come to my open gyms to do train this kinda stuff, its interesting to watch some of their wipe outs. btw what gym is that? CGA?

Windex May 20, 2007 Author Share Windex Member May 20, 2007 It's hyde park gymnastics here in cincinnati, i've never had any real gymnastics training and i've built up a pretty nice trick list in under 6 months: Front Tuck Brandy Front Flip 360 Twist Back Flip Back Flip half Twist Gainer Double Front Tuck Wall Flip Super Wall Flip J-Step Gainer Side Flip I know i'm not perfect but thats why i practice every week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan May 21, 2007 Share JackieChan GC Alumni May 21, 2007 Yeesh. I always wanted to do stuff like that, but had no place to do it at. I can do simple things, but not flips or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossad May 21, 2007 Share Mossad Member May 21, 2007 that's quite an impressive skill list! Can you do most of these skills on a hard surface or is alot of it still on to the resi or into a pit? Ever work arabians? I would think that would be a neat skill for the kind of stuff you're doing. Either way what you're doing is stille extremely impressive!

Thief_Lord May 21, 2007 Share Thief_Lord Member May 21, 2007 (edited) So do most Gymnastics places have 'open mat' like things? Edit* Also I saw this on the news (tonight at 11) 19 Action News Edited May 21, 2007 by Thief_Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossad May 22, 2007 Share Mossad Member May 22, 2007 Some gyms have "open gyms" one or two nights a week but alot of gyms don't due to lawsuits and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windex May 22, 2007 Author Share Windex Member May 22, 2007 Everything with the exception of the double full i can do on solid surface. the front full with 360 was the most work and i can only do it about 1/5 tries but when I do it's amazing! Whats an arabian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossad May 22, 2007 Share Mossad Member May 22, 2007 an arabian is a relatively easy skill....i assume you can do a roundoff, so as you are rebounding in your roundoff you do a 1/2 turn then a front tuck. is your front full tucked or layed out?
