Of course I can count to 10. counting is one of the great things in life.
1, 2, 3, 4, did I tell you I once fell on the ice and hit my head? Yeah, so I had to go to the hospital. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…
The fail here is not that he fell. Though it was funny. It is that parkour is now a sanctioned, judged sport. I mean, is that against the whole spirit of the thing?
Ouch. Easily done. Should’ve vaulted from that bar instead of under it. You just can’t make a cat leap work with that trajectory and speed, you can’t react fast enough and your arms can’t take the strain.
Also, I agree with Modred, when exactly did they start making judged competitions out of parkour? Parkour isn’t about style or speed, it’s about keeping gangs of young men with too much energy kicking old people in the head.
Once I took it up I have to say that the number of incidents of old people’s heads and my foot coming into contact has significantly dropped
Actually, this is free running. Its related to parkour, but where parkour is about speed and ease of movement, free running is more acrobatic and emphasizes creative use of terrain.
Well I guess as usual the main reason is that US “xtreme sports” buisness guys were pissed off they weren’t the creators of Parkour.. And couldn’t make money with it. So they invented a brand new sport, genuinely US, totally breathtaking: the free run. What a bunch of silly arrogant jerks
Free Running is simply Parkour with tricks you twat. Tricks, as in all sports, can and will be judged. Hence “Competitive” Free Running. If they have trick skateboarding, trick motorbiking, and trick skiing competitions, why the hell not trick Parkour competitions?
i agree and he rotated way to far forward to land that in any way especially into a cat. but i must say i have never kicked anyone. and there have been ninja warrior competitions in china and japan for along time (judged)
I agree that it’s nothing to laugh at. It’s a valuable lesson, though: if you don’t wanna get seriously hurt, don’t engage in seriously idiotic activities.
Well if this was an accident I’d agree but since this person decided doing this was a fun idea I’m going to go with yah, he deserves an LOL hurt or not.
That guy… he has a logo on his shirt which belongs to a group of parkour here in mexico called “Monos urbanos” (urban monkeys) google it if you do not believe me.

maybe
..only “maybe”..
Maybe he didn’t died and turned out great! I once fell on the ice and went to the hospital.
..i think i remember that tale..it was pretty gr8..can you count to 10, though?..

I love to count
What kind of great things do you count?
I can count! 1, 2, 8, potato!
Thank goodness that large, grey, block broke his fall.
I think it broke more than just his fall… His spring is broken too.
ya
this is a sport haha? i’d actually like to see examples of when they don’t suck.
When you see poker games scheduled on most sports channels, then everything can be considered as a sport. Even sleeping…
..whoo-!..i could Win at sport-sleeping..where’s the next meet?..
count me in!
..we’ll meet in Toronto in 2012 for the 1st-ever-Annual, fluffers..
..yer going Down! (but not as far down as i’ll be..haha)..
You must be american.
I’m from Canada. Does that count?
Of course it counts… America is a whole continent, not only one country… BTW, I’m Mexican.
Two, actually.
did he died?
Yes. Twice.
..more like “free falling” Fail..
can he do it on a wheelchair?
wow. horrible choice of music
Why horrible choice of music? Is it because it was pirated from a Seattle band without permission?
Wow, they actually have competitions for this stuff?
1 Hit
2 Hits – Good!
3 Hits – Great!
*Die*

Has he hurted?
anyone know if this is a tv program or what…? and the name of it
This should be the music video to Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’”
what song is playing in the background?
Music by The Panda Conspiracy, I believe.
He is severely hurt, this is not something to laugh with. So stop posting these kind of things.
I agree — besides, it looks like he was hurt *before* he jumped. Look at the way he was moving.

All I saw was his upper torso. Is he wearing some kind of stealth pants?
his camouflage from ‘Nam
your doing it wrong
Gravity: How does it work?
haha! Americans fail at free running hahahwa!
I don’t see how “failing at free running” is a bigger fail than “doing free running”.
well i think it’s pretty awesome, if i could do this i’d use my powers to fight crime.
somebody should tell him how to use the stairs
whats the name of the song ?
If I recall correctly, it’s either War in the City or Can’t Keep Everything by The Panda Conspiracy.
That guy… he has a logo on his shirt which belongs to a group of parkour here in mexico called “Monos urbanos” (urban monkeys) google it if you do not believe me.
I suddenly want a Barclaycard… I didn’t know they spent money on hurting idiots… that’s awesome!
Please stop doing this crazy stuff. The human body is not built for 3 or 5 meter free falls. Sooner or later somethig will go wrong …
RAGDOLL PHYSICS YEAH =D
Yeah, WTF was up with that lame “launch” kind of move? Just run and jump, spedboy.
I learned that from Gordon Freeman.
whoa
Dude, If you don´t have what to post, it´s better then not posting anything. this video is so old, at least it is gold.
Cheers.
did the freerunning FAIL guy died?
whats the name of the song ?
