Will consider Parkour as sports?  |
| |
| Parkour or free running is being popularized by David Belle founder of the modern parkour. If you are not familiar with this try to remember the James Bond Movie where in he chase a man who run and jumps like a monkey and even hang on the crane. I know there are more extreme sports like this or underground sports like skateboards, bmx, or blades but in this sports you wear safety gears compare to parkour you don't have any safe gears nor harness if you are going from one building to another. Yes! I mean it jumping from one building to another I've seen it on youtube some teens doing this for fun with out safety harness. Imagine if they fail and mis calculate their landing they maybe dead before they knew it. As I've seen from one of the sports illustrated news they parkour also know as free running is also called a modern sports for teenagers. But If you would ask me I won't consider this as sports, how about you will you consider it as sports? Some consider this as their hobby but if you have child will you allow him to have this kind of hobby? I suggest you watch this first to give you an idea. http://www.youtube.com/wa... | | | | | |

| | well, i really don't know, but think that i will, because it looks like a sport, there are also many movements there, it also demands some exercises and also a strong body, so i think it is really a sport and not just a hobby or a game! | | | | | | |

| | Indeed parkour is just like a basketball it exercise the whole body and also this will develop your agility and speed. But do you think is it deadly? | | | |

| | I understand your point there is much more dangerous sports compared to parkour and all of them can result to instant death if not well being trained or practice. i also find out that parkour is more likely in demand in some action stunt movies they consider parkour as urban ninja. | | | |

| | Yeah, Parkour is really cool and David does it really well. Well, I would not consider Parkour as a sport, but I would rather consider it as a hobby or an art! The word Parkour itself says that it is an art of moving! So, Parkour is more of an art than a sport or a hobby. But, I think freerunning is equally good!

| | It's hard to answer this question. On one hand, it has a huge amount of physical activity and it has some general "plan" on what a person should do. But on the other hand, sports games and activities have certain rules and standards. So yea, it's hard to give one certain answer to that question. | | | | | | |

| | I think that is one reason while others consider it as a sports because there is no certain rules and standards for this kind of hobbies. You cannot win by popularity only you need more criteria right you cannot consider things as sports if you don't compete right? | | | |

| | even though i did not watch the video in youtube. i can imagine how dangerous that parkour is. it should not become a sports because life would be in danger of those people who will participate in parkour if it will be approved. if i have a child i will not let my child parkour as a hobby. nowadays youth are trying some things that could give them a thrill in their life and not the bored one. | | | | | | |

| | hello newuserptc. it's been introduced here where i live. you need good legs, a high level of energy and stamina and a quick, decisive head. you need to see far and therefore your head must be faster than your legs. yes it is a sport. but i don't think it's a competitive sport unless there are rules and how scoring is to be done. so to me parkour is a hobby. i think it can be dangerous because you have to be extremely alert. | | | | | | |

| | It is really dangerous i saw those who have been badly injured by this sports some of them get a broken ribs and nose. Well i know this is not the only dangerous sports but as you can see all those stunts and jumping are intentionally put your life in danger compare to those other sports. | | | |

| | I would definitely consider Parkour a sport and I would say that it's a sport that requires a little bit more talent then quite a few of the sports out there. It requires grace, balance, and speed and a lot of coordination as well. If you were to slip up at the wrong moment you could get seriously injured or die depending on the heights you were performing Parkour at. Parkour is a very intriguing and beautiful sport and I remember the show on G7 called Ninja Warrior which was basically a course designed for the sport of Parkour. It was one of my favorite shows but I'm not sure if it's on any longer. Contestants on the show needed some serious physical condition and physical talent as well as a sharp mind. Great post Parkour's very cool. | | | | | | |
