Hi guys after a few weeks of lurking in these forums I've decided that I wanna "learn" free-running/parkour is learn is the term but I'm a tennis/basketball player so I really do not know where to start for Parkour. If you guys have any helpful suggestions please post thxs.
sup man! I've tried to mess around with it a few times by myself, but got bored quickly.. the key would be to find a parkour/free running group in your area, which is highly likely now-days.. that sport has really exploded.
where do you live? search online, search youtube with your area + parkour/freerunning tags, hit up some parkour forums, try to find some people who are into that stuff.
if you can't find anyone, perhaps there is a gymnastics gym nearby? that would surely have people into 'tricking' which goes hand-in-hand with free-running.. you could practice all types of tricks/flips safely in those kinds of gyms.. that would be a very good place to start.
hope that helps somewhat, i don't do parkour/free running myself, though i admire what they do.
peace!
