Barclaycard Freerunning Championships
''Highlights of the event!''
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBJyGojbpBQ
I just saw the freerunning championship, and I'm not impressed or glad to it.
It was too much show that only will push people to do things beyond their level.
They even had crashmaths. Almost tehniques was bad.
Now, I don't know much about freerunning (however, freerunning and parkour is basicly the same) but I can just hope that Parkour will belong to what it really is.
I don't want any Parkour Championships. I want to keep, at least parkour, as something that will give you self-confidence, a trust in yourself, something that learn you to help other people in difficult times.Help people to be carefull and make sure. Using crashmaths for example only shows that you're not sure about what you're doing. Especially when they can't land properly. It shows that you're very, very aware that you probably will fall.
Parkour for me is a fight agianst myself. I listen to other traceur and takes advices, I let them teach me something I need help with, and I teach others. I follow the true nature of it that Belle & CO do.
For me, It feels like almost every parkour accosiations are trying to establish a name for themselves. No matter if they ruin the true nature of all this, no matter if they ruin the philosophy, the way of thinking that Belle and others have been found. It took them years after years to make this. It was a goddamn hard work and
when It's finally start to reach the society something like this happen. It's a shame. I way to lure people to think like this.
If they badly want to make competitions, please pay attention to us - The true traceurs of the dicipline, that you're spitting us in the face. Ruining the whole thing. Do competitions, It's okay, but do not call it either parkour or freerunning. Do not use the philosphy of parkour. It's ours. Parkour belongs to the ones that are truthfull and follow the path standard path of the dicipline.
So, when people and the society for that sake really started to open their eyes, and especially EARS, to this dicipline people go agianst the philosophy, the standard training, and the foundation of it.
Remember those three simple words;
Personal.
Dicipline.
Improvement.
It's seems like too much is about establishment, favours and money. It only benefit yourselves and pretty much the whole community. The people that are unsure of what they're doing.The missunderstood flock of mislead beginners that might hate this response because they'll sooner or later simply think that competiton in parkour
is right, and that it is the true nature of it. This is simply not the case.
Competition will make try to progress as fast as possible. In the theory It's good that every traceur progress fast, but it comes with some things; injuries and such.
It makes loosers and winners. The loosers learn to be unsure of themself, and the winners learns to be sure about themself and always comparing to others instead of be personal, think about selfimprovement. The happy and joy to go out training, only focusing on yourself and have fun will be gone. The way of thinking parkour will slowly start to fade out.
So, I just wan't to know what the FREERUNNERS think about this. Freerunning and parkour is basicly the same thing, I will try to keep parkour as It is, and every freerunner, every traceur have a responsibility to stop this. When the oldschool traceurs are gone, like Belle, we'll only stand with what we have learned. So if we don't learn properly parkour will in the future slowly fade out. It will become something else.
I know that many people are with me and agree and I'm thanksfull for that.
I hope everyone take their responsibility and act.
