I really dislike hearing people talk about what they could’ve been, “if only” this, “if only” that. While wasting some time at work today, I read up on Parkour, and it’s creator, David Belle. Amazing stuff, and given the right opportunity to be taught (this simply isn’t something you can self-teach, unless you’re supremely gifted), I’d like to take it up. And here comes the part that fills me with self-disgust; “If only my right ankle will hold.”
Fuck “if only…”
Wow, that’s really awesome. Something else new to try at some point.
Gifted? This looks very simple, just the flips are hard to master.
The jumping from buildings and stuf is just plain jumping.
“If only the feeling that i’m going top fall flat on my face while hurting my nuts in the proces will go away” is what these guys are facing and I’ve jumped off many roofs, it ain’t hard:P
This training amazes me. Part of me will always shout that I would never be capable of these things. Thankfully, I listen to the other part of me that says, “Do it and find out.”
(And then there’s the whole “Jim is doing something and I’m not? This cannot be!”)
