Like their stuff.

Out of curiosity, I searched for similar activities in my town, but although there were many videos, I found almost all of them to be too showy, rather than having any real style to them.

One is five minutes of a guy using a playground climbing frame. A climbing frame!!! Honestly! That's not Parkour, that's playing on a climbing frame! Geez!

Personally, I find it all quite interesting, and, aside from in the past year or so, I've been doing stuff like that for a long time. Simple stuff and low key, nothing as ambitious as scaling a narrow alleyway, or anything, but still, stuff like that. Didn't have a name for it until a few years back, when there was all the interest in it due to a BBC trail, followed by a couple of Channel 4 documentaries.

Me kid cousin be in a local crew here.

He be only 16 years of age, and I keep telling him he should wear a helmet and wrist-protections, while grazing them building, but he dun' listen.

Crazy cool sport tho, altho a bit on the riscy side.

Ah, but with the risk comes the excitement.

If it didn't, it'd be called "normal walking along a straight and level pavement"

Very thrilling.

Not.
