These people are insanely fit, brave and acrobatic but the more I watch, the more queasy I feel. Even the house high stuff could result in life changing injuries but fuck me a lot of their stuff is 'splat' high if it goes wrong.
Are there any other 'fans' out there?

It is indeed very impressive. But heights and bad landings make me feel ill nowadays.

Agreed, it looks well cool, however you only have to search up 'parkour fails' in youtube and you'll be feeling dickie for a week.

My nephew in Madrid is a bit of a parkour dude, he's just turned 18 and has already broke his wrists several times... he's going to be fucked up soon if he carries on at the current rate!
It is impressive when it goes right though.

These dudes are athletes no doubting it. My ankles are crumbling just looking at that stuff. I remember in my teens and early 20s skateboarding and taking hard slams and just getting up and back at it. Now I'd be off work for a week.

I just watched a vid filmed in Hong Kong. I had to keep looking away or I though I'd start crying. Buildng to building in the clouds almost.
I think I've worked out my vision of hell: trapped on a high rooftop with a load of snakes.

I think I would do alright at parkour.
My plums are so pendulous these days, I would have an instantly deployable airbag/landing system, so I could jump from building to building without fear of injury.

You're not Ivan Dobsky the Meat-Safe Murderer are you? No mate, I'm just a middle aged dude suffering from age related sack stretch. I am not athletic enough to do parkour, but I could hang around with the youths on the roof tops and hang my spuds over the edge to gauge falling distance. |

Built in airbag. I can barely walk up the stairs to my flat right now. The thought of parkour makes me feel ill.
