RE: free running
"What's not cool about it? Its urban gymnastics without the safety of crash mats. The idea is all about flow - you have to get around/over/under "street" obstacles in the most fluid motion possible. That's pure sport"
dunno bout sport, but its definitely impressive. cool? who gives a fuck. its putting a name on it and making a cheesy documentary about it thats fcking lame. and having a safety team? gimme a BREAK
street skaters are just as gnarly (ok, MAYBE rollerbladers too) and they dont have SAFETY TEAMS and shit!
nor did they used to have idiot corporate sponsors making them do stupid shit like going inside the theater and pulling some stupid "acting" skit? THATS whats lame about it. The action itself is impressive.
