    I'm going to start doing free sitting, Its a less extreme version of free running.

    Basically the idea is to go places and sit.

    I'm starting slow, Just sitting around the house, Later I'm going to ramp it up, way up. Go out into the yard, Down the road, sit down on a park bench. eventually I'm going to find an abandoned industrial area and take a rest.

    maybe sit on a wall......

    The is used to convert the downward motion into forward motion, and if you don't have enough forward motion to begin with you are just going to slam yourself into the ground and look like a dick (as in the two vids you posted).

    You don't become a free-runner after 3 days, it'll take months of practice before you pull off a decent run that will impress anyone on here.
    Who said i was trying to impress anybody, i know what i am doing is rubbish, i never claimed it wasn't.

    Would you prefer i do usual mark styles, rush it and get seriously hurt? (rhetorical)

    Anyways my internet is shite so I didn't watch the videos, but I've probably seen them before. It's so awesome how they run along and just flow over obstacles pretty much unobstructed. Good on ya for trying it out

    That's why his videos say PRACTICE on them. he also stated that those are only landing practice not motion transfer practice. Nor full blown runs.

    Good on you mark keep it up.

    Then the families of those guys that were killed must be spewing, But hey, good on them, Dieing for real takes some balls, Kind of silly to do it for the sake of a scene in a budget movie though.
