yes yes… supervised is good 
awesome stuff…what about the ones that dont go to youth clubs ? what about the ones that will just go to the roof and start being spidermen ?
You might remember the jackass craze that happend…with hundreds of home videos of kids going insane…
Yes there is a lot of what ifs like with everything in life
and the jackass craze died out as fast as it amerged yes there are a lot of stupid ppl out there but if you dont take a risk in your life what have you got really i would find that pretty boring
Like when you were a kid did you climb trees and scale walls with your mates yes you did your a boy every boy tries it at least once to see how high up a tree you could get they dont think about the dangers or the what if i fall out this tree they just live there in that moment to get as far up the tree as possible you cant live your life on what ifs you wouldnt do anything in life if you did and i think thats what makes life exciting doing somthing out of the ordanary and taking a risk from time to time.
there is a difference between a tree and ten storys of building… the ods on death are a lot higher…
I think everyone is seeing that im totaly against this thing but im not im for the banning of it in public places tho…
Bin you are right… jumping off a 10 story building (regardless of your age) is going to be a very bad thing for your health 
but Free running is not all about jumping around on buildings.
pretty much most of what ive seen of it is,
Railings on pathways,stairs,walls,tunnles,parks.
Altho yes some of them use buildings to go a little more extreem,
and also on multi story carparks,
yes fair enough you can say what if ect but taht is the same with everything.
there is a risk with absolutely everything,
what if helens CRT monitor was to fall on the floor and expoloded in my face?.
what if our floor in our flat collapsed?,
what if im walking down the stairs and i fall and break my neck?,
what if i cross the road and i fall over and get hit by a 10 tonne truck?
you can find a flaw or a danger in absolutly everything.
but if we all wrapped up in cotten woll and stayed completely safe… we would have to all be hermit’s and never leave the spot were sitting in.
and tbh that is dangerous too. what if you fall asleep and sufficate on the cotten wool!
i really dont see what the problem with free running is… i think it is an amazing thing that some people can do.
I honestly think a fighting style could evolve from it or perhapse a 100 meter hurdle…going vertically.
many many things could be done with free running
but dont stick with the what if’s like i said almost everything has it’s risk.
so say they did ban it from public places where are they ment to do this.
If there isnt somewhere from them to do this it will die out and i think thats a shame as it takes a lot of skill to do this also they could get a group of them together at fetes and stuff to do demonstrations and this will bring crowds to small areas which in turn would bring money into the local area
i think it would be a shame to ban it and not give them a place they could do this some have worked really hard to get as good as they are and if an alternative area wasnt available to them all that hard work and training would be for nothing as they cant carry on there interests.
hmm youve got a good point and well if its a sport…lets look at what other people think of as sports then…
Oh yes one comes to mind…Train Surfing ??
anyone up for it tonite ?
mite get some nasty burns tho… hope they sort that sport and get some controlled areas for it cos it seems so cool…

oh yes to see the children doing that would be good…

///EDIT oh and btw before anyone says yes it happens in the UK too
The BBC must be reading this forum, they decided to do a feature on parkour today
OHHH MYYYY we have big brother watching us
No wait thats chanel 4
To finally get back on track, yes it is a film.
Here’s the IMDB link District B13 (2004) - IMDb
I have it at home, It’s extremely well made for an off mainstream country like France. Kind of shows that people other than the americans can make good movies.
Thanks Juggy!
/me adds film to ScreenSelect list 
DT.
Only understood about one word in ten and French is just too damn pleasant to be all Gangsta, did you know there is no French equivalent to MoFo ?
Cheers again Juggy, good find!
I’m sure if you shout it at them loud enough, they’d understand. 
Bloody French !
Sarge.
Still chuckling about the conflict between the French language and Psychotic Gang warfare.
“Excuse me good sir, I am afraid to inform you your hostile disposition renders it necessary for me to pop a cap in yo ass at the earliest available opportunity”
Just isnt the same.
But if they dubbed it to English thats about what they would need to say to fill the dialogue gaps.
Indeed.
I had same problem in Biaritz if you remember, at that McDonalds we stopped at. They could’nt understand my french, but when i said ’ You bloody foriegners should speak a civilised language like English’, they seemed to understand that bit fine. I’m sure that Big Mac i got had ‘extra’ mayo in it…
Sarge.
the film is coming to uk cinemas… 7th of july
