EnterTheVoid Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Whilst wandering around the CBD the other day, I stumble into this incredible street artist who was performing some of the most extreme gymnastics I have ever seen. Jumping over bars, elevated heights, steps etc with extreme ease and without padding/protection of any sort. Here's a sample: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcUcmuB2C28]Parkour 2 - YouTube[/ame] To further convince myself this was not a one off fluke event, I ask him to do it again, to which he happily obliged: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZgoL--vOgg]Parkour 1 - YouTube[/ame] I take my hat off padre :hatsoff:
EnterTheVoid Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 Parkour, a style of extreme street gymnastics. Dude, he does a backflip over a bench with a run up of about 10 steps!! Thats totally insane! Just to make sure that it wasn't a fluke the first time around, he does it again!
EnterTheVoid Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 Notice the lack of any protective clothing.
yoda Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I bet 6 yr old gymnastics kids can do better than that. He doesn't even land right, just tumbles on grass. LOL!

EnterTheVoid Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 Yoda, stop talking out of your rear end, you clearly do not understand how difficult it is to pull off such a stunt. One small miscalculation during the jump and he could end up as a paraplegic.
EnterTheVoid Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 Actually I think a part of parkour is how to fall and roll properly so as not to get hurt Correct. Landing on concrete off elevated heights is completely different to landing on gym mattresses that are filled with padding.
yoda Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 It is not the tumbling, it is the fact that he tumbles on grass AND does nothing interesting before that. Anyways, I looked up some videos on youtube on the related subject and I can see people doing things which are really awesome, not the BS you posted. :hahaha: Here is one. wWTbQi13jQY
yoda Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 BTW, have you seen this kid's video? He might be a superman on the basketball court in the future: http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/clip-board/201305/young-trick-shot-sensation-returns-second-video
SLICKR392 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 It would be much awesome to watch him go in real life than the video. That doesn't look easy by any means.

EnterTheVoid Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 How about you give the kid some credit and appreciate his skills instead of *****ing about irrelevant nonsense? Knowing you, that might be asking too much.
EnterTheVoid Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 And yes, he is a kid. Going by what I saw, I would say he has incredible potential.
yoda Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 How about you give the kid some credit and appreciate his skills instead of *****ing about irrelevant nonsense? Knowing you, that might be asking too much. Dude, that kid is probably capable of much more than what you have posted. My response was related to the thread title and what you got on video. Chill!
EnterTheVoid Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 SLICKR, maybe my video doesn't do him justice considering it was taken on a mobile phone but watching execute those maneuvers in real life is some of the most skilful display of agility, fitness and gymnastics I have ever seen.
EnterTheVoid Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 Yoda, in my defense, I bumped into him through sheer chance on my way elsewhere.
akshayxyz Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 @OP, the kid might be capable of much more. But - the video in OP - is just some very basic stuff.
