Capitalist parkour team

[Segadoway]

i just want to rant about these capitalist pigs urban freeflow (or u$f) especially because of what they did to the australian parkour community

[union6]

i used to follow these guys when they first started but i dont realy know much about them anymore.
what did they do to the australian parkour community?

[Segadoway]

what didnt they do to us...
i cant link yet so just ask the guys at pkaus.com
as far as i can explain it (in the briefest possible way) they threatened the auspk community i quote from EZ ''you guys will be steam rollered.......on a global scale'' they want to commercialise parkour and destroy its image, they promote competiiton parkour (soooo not on) and are the definition of capitalist.

[union6]

ah right cheers,
yea i cant stand it when groups start talking about competitions, its just not what the sport is all about.
They lost my intrest when they started doing TV adverts for Nike and K-Swiss

[Segadoway]

yea hthere is one of u$f that doesnt support their capitalism (or so it seems) and he made a really funny video on youtube about them, i think it is called urban free flow podcast, by the way do you do parkour?

[union6]

klkl, yea i used to lol back in the day, wouldnt mind geting back into it now realy, i stoped about 2/3 years ago lol now im geting a bit of a craving for it again, but need some decant shoes though, i only have DC's now lol not the best for parkour lol
what do you wear?

[Dr Mindbender]

how can you have 'competitive' parkour anyway?

I thought parkour was non-competitive by its nature?

[Segadoway]

It is, but it can be made a competition if it they don;t make it true parkour.
also for shoes i reccomend 5:10 Savants or Freerunners, K-Swiss Ariakes are not what they are cracked up to be, at the moment due to lack of funds i use New balance 479s and they are exceptional for wire fences and etc.

yea, i watched a parkour competition on youtube ages ago, they just seemed to have a set list of moves and you got more points for more complex moves and then added bonuses for the fluidity of it. I thought it was all just a load of pumped up athletes wanting to do a 'extreme' sport and show off there gymnastic skills to be honest lol
ah cheers will look out for those shoes, its so surprising how much they make a difference, when i started i had a pair of fairly cheap ones off the market but they had some immense grip but when they got mashed up lol and i had to chuck them, i just wore my DC's and thought how much different can they be lol man i was so wrong, i couldn’t do half the stuff i used to be able to do lol

[Segadoway]

for shoes DO NOT USE SKATE SHOES! they are really bad for your feet and to heavy, also i dont know where you would find 5:10s where you are but we have to order them from their site (89.95 American) i would suggest looking in climbing shops as it is a climbing brand xD

[union6]

lol yea was just one of those idiot moments lol
could you give me a link to the site cheers

[Segadoway]

i had the site saved in favourites but i can't find it anymore, just google 5:10, also if you want to get into pk again i suggest joining a forum for your country, your british right?

[union6]

ah right klkl,

lol the problem here though is everyone is obsesed with the urban freeflow team and the whole 'look what i can do that you cant' thing lol will take some searching to find proper PK people lol

[Coggeh]
