Me Free Running at The Beach (Stop Laughing!)
2012-01-06 09:00:00 For all of you haters who watched Tech Chop Episode 12 and didn't think I would ever go out and do some free running then you are sadly mistaken my friends! That's right, the other day I went to the beach in Carlsbad, CA and my wife caught this epic video of me doing some free running!What? What is freerunning you say? Well let me just say that it is probably one of the most bad ass things you will ever see. In fact, it is so bad ass, you see it a lot in movies these days. You saw freerunning in Casino Royale, in Die Hard With a Vengeance and there was even a B-Rated action flick called Freerunner.From Wikipedia:Freerunning (or free running) is a form of urban acrobatics in which participants, known as freerunners (or practitioners, though this is a generic term used for freerunning and parkour), use the city and rural landscape to perform movements through its structures. It incorporates efficient movements from parkour, and adds aesthetic vaults and other acrobatics, such as str...

free running in the digital city
2008-03-04 03:58:00 I just caught wind of an forthcoming game with a new take on the "open city" concept that has been explored in several titles over the last few years. Mirror's Edge is an Xbox 360 game that is currently under development by DICE in Stockholm. The narrative revolves around Faith, a nimble traceur in a predictably totalitarian, ultra-sterile futuristic cityscape. Faith, a parkour courier, has been charged with delivering some extremely valuable information - so valuable in fact that she finds herself relentlessly pursued through the city by ruthless government agents. Sweep aside all the plot junk and you are left with the potential for an exciting new simulation of the city as an elaborate playground. What immediately caught my attention about these preliminary screenshots is manner in which architecture elements are demarcated. As per her training in "the art of displacement" Faith possess an innate ability for reading the geometry of her surroundings and this translates into a pla...

Jump Thailand! Parkour and free running in Bangkok
2007-04-25 06:02:00 The sound of a runner?s feet approaches, skipping lightly along a path. He effortlessly slices though the air, turns sharply, and jumps over a bench, landing with ease on the opposite side before rolling forwards and back up to his feet, continuing on along the path. Another runner nearby stands tall before leaping several feet ... |
