thats umm .... intresting lol.
no seriously it is so much fun!!
its too hardcore for me lol
its kids in the uk jumping on walls, thats not strange, whats strange is me going out for a dart (cigarett) and hearing skinny ass 10 year old girls talk about how much they weigh, and that they been starving themselvs, jennifer lopez could come at my door half naked and i still wouldnt have been as surprised as i was then, whats this world comming to

thank the parents for that :rolleyes: .. i see crap like that here in the usa as well. its sad that even kids are becoming this image concious.
Yeah my dad still lives in Chile so he hasnt seen me in like 5 years lol. So anyways he wants me to weigh 110 lbs cause thats the average for my age, he doesnt understand that Im 6'3" lol, I would die of starvation before getting to 150 lol
what kind of freak are you?! just kidding my nephews 14 and 6'1" or 2". he's pretty self concious cause he's so much taller than the rest of friends. i tell him to look at everybody like birds do. just little bullseyes to spit on:) that cheers him up. to young to be worried about $h?! like that. coochie and games should be his concerns;p
I dont worry about being tall, i like it, nobody in their right mind messes with me lol...
easier to take your knees though:) don't ever be to confident twiggy:p
hehehe i can fight on the ground, but then again u have to get me ther first, i can knock people out with one hit...
so you know rolling dirt style too? who was your master?:p

,
cool dan
I am my own masta, hehehe all u gotta know how to do is to lever your body properly to achieve maximum velocity and force ;)
EDIT- On and even if u get me on the ground it would be hard to get on top of me, and if ur dumb enough to go down with me then u gotta worry about not being squashed by my weight...
how much do you weigh? i'm only 5'9 but i weigh 215(no i am not chubby, i do work out). i think i already posted this but my nephew is 14 and like 6'2 like you dan.
ya u did post it. Im 6'3" and 265 lbs, and unfortunatelly yes I am chubby :( but I will be working on that starting july 1st ;) I dont wanna lose weight though, just turn it into muscle. 265 lbs hurts if u know how to put it behind ur fist ;)
sure does:) do some cardio for a while to get the fat percentile down then mix in some moderate heavy lifting. do weight that will allow you to do 6-8 reps for 7 sets. trust me. this lets you lift heavier than you would for those high set programs and more sets than the super heavy low rep programs. best of both worlds. but start off with a month of pretty intense cardio and nothing else. it'll get you preped for the lifting and you'll last longer in the gym when the lifting starts. good luck bro'
im big too guys...all of 5'4 :P
I do 10 reps, 4 sets of each. I work out 4 days a week. an hour and a half weightlifting, and then I go ride 100 miles on my bike, I hate running lol

wow im like 5'10, 5'11 150lbs. Hmm i dont work out, (lack of money to buy weights) but I do drum so that gives me endurance.hehe
100 miles on your bike? ... you must not have a life :p
Ok u got me, I was doing 100 a month ago, I did it for like 4 days. Then I started doing 75 and this last week I was doing like 40-50. Now I'm doing 0 cause some ******* stole my bike
EDIT - This time it really was stolen, I didn't just leave it at my friend's house and forget about it lol, for those of you who have chatted with me on msn ;)
2nd EDIT -

U think I waste money on that shlt??? I go to my high school weight room lol, I wouldn't pay money to work out, I hate it as it is, I just do it cause its "good for me"

LOL....since we are on the topic of size....6'4" 265lbs...and the whole bigger they are harder they fall shiat is kindof funny...cause my arms are longer than most people's legs so you have to get close enough to me first to take me down...LOL...
Right on GNX :D It doesn't take much for me to break a jaw... a jab will do it ;) Then again I would do throw a kick and knock fecking heads off...

man i wish i was like 6', but i only stand at 5'7 about 150lb, need to loose the love handles hehe
i love working out, especially walking 4 miles, and jogging 2 miles every day (i don't jog more cus i'm a heavy guy at 225 pounds (used to be 235 in july :) ) so i get joint damage from all the impact) but when i hit 215ish ima start jogging more, and then theres always the ladies at my gym :D (oh yes, and i'm not huge fat, around 19% body fat, a bit more then where i should be, and 9% more then where i will be)

Wow. I think I may be proportionately the skinniest one here. I'm 6'2" and 150. I've been this weight for about 7-8 years though mainly because of running. Parkour sounds cool, but being as tall and skinny as I am, I don't think I would have the coordination necessary...just regular running for me! Hope to do another marathon in August...
I'm new at parkour and any tips would be helpful
