Awesome.
Flips are NOT parkour. REPEAT: ANYONE FLIPPING IS NOT DOING PARKOUR.
parkour is getting from point A to point B as efficiently as possible, flips are a huge waste of energy and have been ruled out.
Efficiently?
I dunno. I see a guy jump up a wall, and I’d so much rather take an elevator. I barely have to move, that way.
So taking the elevator is parkour!
Parkour is getting from point a to point b as QUICKLY and efficiently as possible. So, no, elevators are not parkour. And what that guy is doing is called “Freerunning”. It’s kinda like parkour, only, you don’t covserve energy, you do flips and tricks.
Then again from the looks of it if he hadn’t done the flip he wouldn’t have been able to make it. a straight jump wouldn’t have gotten him enough height to land on his feet, so he had to simulate height by having his feet come down to the ground.
just a thought.
Do you think that doing flips somehow propels you through the air? I must disappoint you.
The speed and direction at the moment the last foot leaves the ground determines where you land. Spinning is just ornamental.
then again maybe his legs wouldn’t be able to clear the edge of the platform. Not in this case but maybe in other cases.
Yes, taking the elevator is parkour. The posers will dissagree, of course.
Parkour is just a poser word meaning you’re putting you into an akward position and going somewhere but taking useless risks.
Like a slammer is nothing but a poet who tries to dodge the gay aura surrounding ”poet” by using a different word for the exact same art.
no not exactly
that is free running
and parkour is the same but you can do col tricks such as flips,underbars etc.
Do that when train is coming
what happens if you trip and land on the third rail… *sizzle sizzle*
He didn’t stick the landing, i give it a 5
This is so fake it hurts. If he could actually jump that, he would qualify as an olympic long jumper.
I am highly amused by your pain.
Never seen what gymnasts are capable of, eh?
Really? Jumping a gap perhaps 10 feet across (wide enough for a single train) at most is comparable to a 25 foot long jump?
haha you’re stupid. Some of the more elite traceurs (people who do parkour) can jump 10+ feet from a standstill. I personally know someone who can.
The previous three gold medal Olympic long jumpers won the gold with jumps of almost 8.5 meters.

That trackbed is only about 3.5 meters across.
That guy’s a good jumper. He was working with a shortened running start. He MIGHT have potential to be a world class long jumper but he’ll have to get 125% more distance to qualify for the Olympics.
youtube plz!
strafe jumping is real!
Sigh, it’s freerunning unless this guy is going somewhere
Very true, but few people distinguish between parkour and freerunning these days; it’s all the same to them. Personally, while I do appreciate freerunning as a sport, I prefer parkour as a system of movement. But I guess that’s just me, since people prefer flashy, and that’s certainly what freerunning is.
Crazy, but awesome all the same.
this would be so much more epic if he just barely missed the train!
shouldn’t be too hard to photoshop that :p
*boing*
This guy must be a superhero!!!!!!!!!
This is not parkour. This is tricking. He does a single movement solely for the point of the movement, to show what he can do. What he can do is amazing, but it is tricking, not parkour. The essence of parkour is the NEED to get somewhere. Parkour is about reach and escape. You either need to get TO something (reach) or you need to get AWAY from something (escape).
It’s freerunning, not tricking.
This is like when a message board of metalheads argue over whether a band should be considered speed metal or death metal.
Why are people so anal about the sub-sub-genre label of every little thing. It’s pathetic. Cut it out.
Good point for many forum discussions, but parkour and freerunning aren’t fine distinctions, it’s the two main divisions of that thing where one runs and jumps over stuff.
Besides, it’s not hard: If you do it as efficiently as possible, it’s parkour, if you do unecessary stuff to make it look good, it’s freerunning. Easy.
He went from point A, one side of the track, to point B, the other side of the track, in the fastest and most efficient way possible. This is parkour by all the standarts you can come up with for this poser passtime.
And yes, he did it with style, it’s still parkour.
DO A BARREL ROLL!
i think if it wasnt for that somersault which he did halfway through, he wouldn’t have made it across
or he would have landed a lot more painfully. imho.
Spinning doesn’t magically propel you through the air. There’s a little air resistance involved, but mainly it is the speed and direction at the moment you leave ground that determines how far you will reach. Or else we would see olympic longjumpers spinning.
and suddenly, train.
Faith, the train.
Take the train!
Youtube clip, hah only 70 views!!
imagine what all those people were thinking xD
i love how everyone jumps through their ass to correct the title as if it f**king matters one iota! grow a life losers
we do have lives. Parkour.
If u look closely u see that he got Hurt on the landing^^
R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
Awesome move!
wow.. if that was real.. that was really impressive O.o wish I could do that ;3
Balls!
He has them!
Well, flips are efficient and he wasn’t wasting energy and he got from Point A to Point B pretty fast.
Had he not stopped himself when he got across, he would’ve had a lot of momentum behind him (which is why it took him a few seconds there to stop properly).
Controlled, that’d be one beast of a method to build up momentum in a parkour event.
Though of course, flips can be very difficult when trying to be precise.
A millimetre either way when flipping over something might be the death of you.
But parkour always is in the business of nearly killing yourself anyway. Haha.
flips are inefecient. It is a waste of energy to do a flip jumping the right way contorting your body to do the flip and making sure you land right where was jumping it is push off land right
