Parkour Free Running?

Question

Anyone know where I can find good videos of people doing that? Besides YouTube...all of the videos on there are suckish. Unless you can give me some really good ones on YouTube. THANKS!! =)

Answer 1

I have been doing Parkour and Free Running for a short time, so I don't have any videos myself... But i have been distance running for 9 years now.

If you go to yahoo and type in your state or maybe area and then  Parkour or Free Running... you might find a few Parkour sites that have Videos, pictures, and places they will meet up for Free Running and Parkour.

... I'm in California so i use http://www.pkcali.com/

and http://www.americanparkour.com/

The sport started in France, so it might be good if you search Parkour in France... on yahoo, google, or youtube.

The sport was founded by David Belle and Sébastien Foucan, so if you search them on yahoo, google, or youtube, you will find some good stuff.

Some movies have a lot of Parkour in them, but most of the good ones are in French with subtitles.

This is all the films that wikipedia shows:

    * Yamakasi (2001)

    * District B13 (2004)

    * The Great Challenge (2004)

    * Casino Royale (2006)

    * Breaking and Entering (2006)

    * Live Free or Die Hard (Die Hard 4.0) (2007)

    * Rush Hour 3 (2007)

My Favorite is District B13 with David Belle... but i haven't seen Yamakasi yet, and that one is supposed to be good.

Some Parkour Documentaries:

    * Génération Yamakasi - Vol au dessus des cités

    * Jump London (2003)

    * Jump Britain (2005)

    * Jump Westminster (2007)

    * Parkour journeys (2007)

...the documentaries are on youtube.
