What do you think of this new urban sport? Click here if you don't understand the subject.
I recently watched "Jump London" on Discovery Channel and just amazed by these Free Runners agility. The way they jumped from a building to another is just amazing. I'm thinking of participating in this new urban sport. My body is built for it from the hard training of playing Rugby.
I'm interesting to hear all of NG's users opinion this.

I used to do that kinda shit, except we got it from mtv, "freestyle walking." Use to jump on handrails and slide down them like your skateboarding and shit. That was fun.

You're from Indiana?
Anyways, they could turn this into an official thing. Where there's a race to get a certain item from a home, along a particular course. Jetpacks that let you jump farther (but not fly, that'd be cheating), could be incorporated. It could become like street racing.

No, I was typing too fast and make it a little confusing. Sorry.

That's a great idea.

Jetpacks? Why would you use jetpacks when you have your muscles to do it for you?

I dont think I could do it... sounds fun and chalenging though
Not so much jetpacks but like...you know the little thrusters on the space craft that landed on the moon and stuff?
Those, only for your body...so you can reverse direction in mid air or something. Because there would be physical chivalry among contestants probably. Which would make it cooler.

If I do it I know I'll manage to hit my balls on something I shouldn't, such as a wall, a hot dog stand, or senior citizens.

Yes.
Well, I'm not going to choose the thrusters If I were to choose any.

I watched that programme, I think the handstand on the edge of a building was the 1337.

I do stuff like that all the time. Just walking is far too boring.
If words were wisdom, I'd be talking even more.

Yeah, me too. A little bit of creativity won't hurt.

Free Running is phenomenal. The guys that did 'Jump London' were so agile and strong. Apart from being so physically fit, they must also be quite brave to do it. Must give a huge adrenaline rush when you're doing it.

When one of the guys jump from the top of the ship without hesitating, that's when I thought he was crazy or something. He landed perfectly after that, to my surprise. That's motivated me to do it.

Yeah, it does.
