[xXIanxcorEXx]

hello guys! i'm very interested to do this extreme sport and that i've been wanting to take em up for years but as u all know. Its hard to find an actual parkour mentor in SG. Anyway, do any of you know of any groups in SG doing parkour/free running? I would love to learn from them. I had experiences in extreme sports, wuz in silat fer arnd 4 years n got bored of it. I really wanna do new stuffs and simply, parkour is the answer. So erm, u guys know any tracuers hanging arnd in Singapore ?

yea just go to the forum. add the parkour singapore group on facebook also. I think forum won't be that active because some people have problems accessing the forum.

Parkour and Freerunning are two different things. You want to do stylo stuff, thats free running. Fast and swift actions from point A to point B is parkour. Good luck being a traceur. Just becareful doin this shit. Train hard for the basics like landing and rolling then you progress. I remember my 1st day doin this shit and i was excited to fly and almost busted my tailbone hehe. hmm might actually get back at it. its damn fun and physically good.

lol.. icic. well i understand the nature of the risks involved and im quite used to it when i was in silat,being thrown up,down,left,right,jump over obstacle etc etc. as for the difference in parkour and freerunning, please check out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_parkour
the founder of parkour said they're both very alike. so yea. we cud hook up some day :mrgreen:

 

[xiaoviper]

I'd say they're alike in some ways... Parkour is more to efficiency whereby, one uses the most efficient way to get from point A to B. Freerunning is parkour plus stunts e.g. backflip, frontflip etc.
