So, I think it's the Youtube...yup, that is who I am going to blame, for the large amount of videos I have seen recently of kids, who think they actually know something about teaching Parkour or Free Running, tricks. (the don't by the way) When I was a kid I didn't think about making videos on how to fly a kite, or may slap bracelets. I left that to the professionals...
Maybe we can blame the parents, maybe they know better then to allow a 12 year old or even a 10 year to put up a BAD tutorials. Now we have the parents who say we can't have clear winners and losers and its ok to be 200 lbs and be 12 ... No, I blame Youtube. Do I blame the kids, absolutely not. I blame the schools. No, I blame youtube. I think there should be a rating system or something for really bad tutorials online....maybe that is just view counts, dislikes and less stars. Either way please watch the group of kids giving their idea of what Parkour/Free Running and tricks are all about. (by the way, do not do this at home or anywhere for that matter)
I dont like these vids
ReplyDeletewhy is the back flip One in here, He is clearly not 12 and can do/teach a trick worth learning...
ReplyDeleteThe video is titled Parkour: How to Backflip. You yourself have pointed out the exact flaw of this video.
ReplyDeleteso a back flip isn't parkour... doesn't mean its a bad video.
