I just thought of a new sport. Let's give the moronic thrill-seekers a real adrenaline rush with: garage-jumper skeet shooting.

Um...I don't know if they would do something like this. It's called Free running or Le Parkour. They actually train to do that though by learning how to fall. Google for Le Parkour and you can find some amazing videos. I've seen a guy backflip off what must have been at least a 20 ft. high structure. The secret is they all tuck and roll as they land so there's virtually no impact on their bones. Just watch some videos, some of these guys are amazing.

Your right, Le Parkour, the sport that originally started in France also known as "free running".

Like most kids they have probably seen the videos or commercials that feature the sport and how easy it seems to look. Instead of starting off with basic moves or gaps they went out and decided to hurl themselves off the first big gap they could find.

This causes people to get seriously injured or killed.

It's a French sport. I wonder how we could convince a few more Frenchies to take this up? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Wow. I had no idea such a thing existed.

Now, I will sue the American media as a whole for their failure to notify me of this potential occupation, one which I'm certain would have made me rich beyond my wildest dreams.

Had I only been properly exposed to it.
