Jealy being a mod is pretty funny I think, his spams awesome, most of it makes me laugh anyway .

As for the "free running" what makes this video any different from acrobatics? Most acrobats wouldn't see that as anything special.

After watching documentries from the pioneers of free running a few years back when it got big it seems that some of what free running was all about has been lost with competitions and such...

I'm no expert and that video obviously takes skills, but did free running suddenly lose what made it free?

With regards to acrobats not seeing that as anything special your very very wrong, as you can imagine at gym we speak to alot of professional world class gymnasts and we're pulling off the exact same moves only difference is that the gymnasts have perfectly clean style because what they do is point based

Free running/parkour is defined as street or 'urban' acrobatics, a personal and individual interpretation of acrobatics using only the elements of your environment. It's not just jumping from one platform to another.

That's like saying you're not steet dancing because you didn't break, you didn't drop in a 6-step or body pop. There are no conditions to interpretation, because it's interpretation.

As an entertainment form, then yeah sure you either like what you see or you don't, it either grabs you or it fails. If you appreciate the skill element then you're bound to find it more entertaining, if not you're just looking at what looks cool. But it's not really fair to judge it on a misinterpreted condition of having to include elements, which are for the most part completely incorrect.
