I do sometimes, but not seriously...I live in a small town its almost a village and if you do things like that you'll draw attention and bom the securitas will come and destroy everything (Securitas is like a fake-cop, they can't touch or anything just check out how things are and then call the cops)
How about yourself?
yeah we have securitas here as well :F
I cant jump anymore. I used to jump at some mountainrocks and trees when I was younger, but got into an accident that fucked up my knee (actually tore up everything so even walking long distances hurts) and thats basically how I found KZ :P
I used to jump 2years ago, but i stopped cuz of an accident too :( Its a really nice sport, if i could jump again, i would do it.
03/07/2010 09:21Practiced few years ago 2 or 3 dunno for sure, stopped tho after I was really close to broke my neck =) Damn, I wish to jump again ofc but not gonna happen. It was nice, jumped like 5-6 months.
Used to do that alot, but stopped because of nolifing. Thanks for reminding though, I think I'll try that again cause I'm really interested in that sport :)
been freerunning for 2 yrs and 8 months. Mostly parkour though :D
Really fun to do, past a certain point you can no longer quit, no matter what, it just becomes a part of your lifestyle.
For example, when i go to school, i subconciously pick out the shortest paths, like a car passing in front of me - i dont stop and wait, i walk around it, stuff like that. This changed my overall movements too - i can no longer be tripped, i leave my leg trailing behind and step down with the other one, real frustrating for my classmates xD. Or the way i handle going down stairs - i dont do the tiring run down, i slide down (very similar to duing multi edgebugs really :D )Or when crossing a street, i no longer look at the traffic light, i move between car columns and anticipate their movements to save time crossing. Which is also pretty fun for me, and scary for the normal people xD - yestersay i made my teacher panic and she yelled at me for being ignorant. And all that without actually thinking about it.
Really a great thing overall. I've made 2 vids so far and thought up some new moves xD
I've tried it like two years ago. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabby190#p/u/3/WaQuohQL0W0
Here's a newbie video when i started to do parkour.
I stopped doing it but my friend from the first video continued and now he jumps like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M47_YgLPR8

Yeah that's one of the reasons why I'm not jumping seriously, I have a disability on my left leg. I was born with it so it's always been there. The thing is that my muscle is so week maybe 1/3 of my rightleg (for the record is normal) so I can't use it as mutch that you need for parkour/freerunning ;o And that's a shame, becauase it's so damn fun!

That's really fucking stupid and irresponsible. Not only you yourself are at a risk of being driven over, you endanger other people and scare them for nothing.
You are completely right. Though, I did forget to mention the real situation im doing that in, and there is actually only a single place that allows it. There, I cross like that: Its a street with 3 car columns. Two of them are commonly stuck in a traffic jam and dont move at all for about 2 mins. The third one comes right out of a street turn and cannot move fast. I pass the 2 stopped columns and stand in an empty spot between the second and the moving column, coming from the turn. I wait for an opening, bam, no damage done, no aggro from drivers, no psycho damage. If the 2 columns move, I stay in the space between the middle and the 3rd and casually wait. O.o On top of that, it isnt only me who does that, most people do cuz the pedestrian crossing light is red for a ridiculously long period of time, about 4 mins.
Other than that, you are completely right, its damn immature to go crossing a heavy traffic street like that. And i know it. Don't follow my example. Im just an impatient guy who hates wasting time.
Well this is me doing some flips and a little parkour :) Im not so good but Im improving :) Hope you will enjoy it :)
