It was posted five times if you count his sig. Shame!

i posted it the first time but somehow cerb has stolen my post

Oh Jerds... there was no leaping about exclaiming "Delightful" or even a "It's perfect.. who could resist?!" The "to the point" delivery could have used a few overtly inserted ads for Jerds Fine Fruitly Wares somewhere... at least pimp teh tron l33tness. Hell the entire piece was crying out for a overly energetic powerman.

Hey team! Yer, it's fairly amazing how much publicity Parkour is getting at the moment.
If this stuff interests you, check out www.ParkourAustralia.com . Come to a jam!

"OMG THIS IS OOLLLDDDD

If by "old" you mean "your mum"... Courier Mail only did the interview on Wed arvo. :) My ankle is on the way back (after torn ligam0nt axn) - give it maybe another month, and hopefully I'll be doing serious parkour again!

S1 Crew: Thanks for postign those sexi fotos. :P I need more bicep. I couldn't find my GT-Four in the background cerb? By the way, tell Chunners she's out.

PresDick: *foams at the mouth*

looks a bit dorky compared to the frenchies/russians or was it toned down for the news?

Jerds is so hot right now

Most of our guys were injured/tired from previous training, plus it was in the wet.
But there's no doubt that the international guys, and the videos you see of the pros *are* leaps and bounds above our current skill levels in certain ways.

Highlights include: Jerds.

You forgot to mention the Matrix!

this looks kinda cool.. where do i begin?

this looks kinda cool.. where do i begin?

Your initiation is to jump from the suncorp building rooftop to the treasury rooftop.

...GO!

do NOT jump from your balcony because you get a little excited about starting something new i repeat do NOT
haha f*** im an idiot

Jerds I cannot believe you have pursued bunny hopping in real life, that is like... so cs 1.3 rebellion.

Kick it.

Ok, the cat leap owns me.

i jumped off a balcony for 20cents once.... nigga didn't pay up

I tried to jump over a little post when i was pissed last night and broke my anus you motherf***ers

^^
Haha, retards.

The pre-title sequence in the upcoming James Bond film, Casino Royale, has been confirmed as a roof-top chase that implements many aspects of Parkour. Sebastien Foucan has been hired to perform the stunts for the character that James Bond will be chasing. The scene will be filmed in Nassau, Bahamas, but the Bahamas have been confirmed as doubling for Madagascar.

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour

Hmm I went to the one at 2pm, which one you go to mav?

Was pretty cool but I am the n00b. Surprised more qglers didnt turn up to give it a shot.

i went to the earlier one man i left about 1pm cos i had something on

im pretty noob too but i was impressed with some of the stuff i could do.. didn't think i could do half of it.. simple stuff but just didn't know my own boundaries i guess

Are there some videos or tutorials or anything

Hey Jerds, I saw a group at practicing what appears to be freerunning/pakour the southbank piazza last monday evening (also where/when there were people practicing juggling & spinning) , any relation to your group?

Jerds has nice arms :P~~~~

Any ab pics?

I'd turn gay for Jerds...

On a more serious note, is there like some Parkour training for the uber-noobified? Like for the marginally fit people with limited reflexes, coordination and balance? I'd love to do some light parkour training just to help improve my general fitness, balance and coordination. Would be really cool if there were training sessions that just started people from the very basics like how to land a fall, how to jump properly etc. and gradually work up to more clever/intensive tricks.

i think that group will eventually end up like boxing trainers who tire of seeing people stroll into the gym wanting to learn and giving up soon after, to be replaced by new newbs

Tribal there is such groups... 95% of people come to there first jam without ANY knowledge/techniques of parkour. All the flips/spins you see are from a discipline called tricking, parkour is about fast effecient movement (not style/looking cool). I have personally run at least 5 - 6 newcomers through the fundamental landing techniques, rolling, basic vaults, jumping techniques and introduce them to the philosophy and try and expand the way the view there urban enviroment.

So definetely come along... chubba75 at hotmail dot com is my msn for any QGLers wanting to learn more about the discipline or arrange a training session.
