I’m still not sure if you guys like parkour, or hate it, but I’m going to post our video here anyway. I’m pretty sure Ebbe thinks it’s bullshit, but you know… he’s danish.
We’ve been working on it for quite some time, and it has gotten great responses were we have shown it (although, the quality of parkour-videos out there sucks the big one).
downloading… will post tomorrow… 3am is too late, dont know how you swedish (johan and lovisa mainly, but you do/did it too ludvig) and danish (ebbe, perhaps your booze was fueling you… or the BassDrive) do it… must get actual sleep during the night. bastards
You are getting better, if I’m remembering your last video correctly. To be honest, I’m still not all that impressed. Skateboarders do that shit on top of a plank on wheels, roller bladers tto it at much higher speeds, and cyclists do it on a 2 wheeled thing that can cut/tangle/break them. The nearest analogy I can seem to draw is that you’re doing street gymnastics, but any decent gymnist is far more impressive.
I’m not saying that I can do any of that (I can’t), but I don’t post videos of myself online either.
It’s fine by me if you don’t see the point in this. Most people don’t. It might however surprise you that this very video is considered a very good one. So guess how awful most are.
Alright, I’ve watched your spectacle. Not too shabby I must say but it was perhaps a tad longish, the editing a little disjointed as you tried to cram too many different segments in and those corny comments from the editor could’ve been left out. At least you seemed to have pretty good taste in music! Does the name actually mean anything by the way or is it pure gibberish?
I can’t say I quiet get the sport, I felt it was a little longish. I was hoping to see perhaps “runs” of multiple jumps performed in rapid succession as often the raw height of the jumps weren’t doing it for me (a few crazy ones here and there). I know I pack an outsiders perspective. Its just unconventional as generally this activity involves skateboards, rollerblades, skis, snow boards, surf boards, bmx and other speed inducing/balance incapacitating devices. Video itself wasn’t bad and you did mix up locations and areas in stride of the classic skate/surf videos, and working with one camera you did well. I’d suggest if possible occasionally rigging POV shots, and more outlandish angles akin to the skate boarding stuff I’ve seen. A helmet cam would be great although damn near impossible to rig yourself. Also occasion a few setups like, for big jumps just giving us a little more to show the finer complexity of it so you get away more from the look to the outsider perspective of “kids jumping off random shit” because no offense its what it comes off as to some degree. I’m sure you can bring us into the world of Parkour and create a bit of an understanding as I see you want to treat it as art.
While this isn’t my thing I think I enjoy watching a well produced film that enlightens me on something crazy europeans do on some underground scene
