Dog attacks car trying to get to cat

bremnet says...

Or a good hard kick in the nuts or elsewhere for the dog. What a bunch of bullshit. Down here in TX, if a human climbs over my back fence after dark I can shoot the son of a bitch because I think he/she is going to steal my property or cause me harm. But if a dog tears up my car I can't do shit? Hmm. Something's screwed up here. Would be a damn shame if that free running dog got run over one day. You know, by accident. Real shame.

What a useless cop. No taser or pepper spray? Water hose? The lady should have just gotten into the car and driven off. Amazing they would both stand there doing nothing

Assassin's Creed and real-life Parkour on the roofs of Paris

noims says...

A pedantic but potentially interesting point. This looked to me like Free Running rather than Parkour.

Parkour is getting from A to B in the quickest / most direct / most efficient way possible. Free running is running around using fancy acrobatic tricks.

Both are cool and often pretty, but despite having nothing to do with either, I think it's a distinction worth making.

Skater punched by kid's mom

newtboy says...

I can't see what you claim at all...in most 'skate parks' you are allowed to skate anywhere in the park...and it certainly looks to me like they have the entire area set up for skating. He was NOT headed towards picnic tables, those are blocks set up for skating. He is running AWAY from the table area straight towards the street (on the map/link eric3579 found, thank you). You can see the tables clearly, they have benches attached. From the pavilion Mom comes from (and we all assume the child too), the child is over 1/2 way to the street, where he may have ended up if the skater didn't stop him. That skater just saved that kids life, and got sucker punched for it!! ;-}
I also completely disagree that under all circumstances it's the older person's responsibility to avoid the free running toddler bolting out from behind an object directly into your path. I don't understand why you give the toddler a free pass just because he's young...that's why he needed supervision. That's why I say it was nearly entirely the MOTHER'S fault, for not watching her child in a dangerous area, then blaming others when something expected happens.
When you say things like 'her reaction was pretty normal' it implies clearly that it's acceptable. It was not acceptable in any way.
edit: A better way to say it might be 'her reaction was unacceptable, but understandable from someone with no self control'.
After the first punch/shove, he should have raised the board as a shield, then swung it like a club when she kept coming. There's no excuse for her behavior.
I am often surprised at the lack of self control many have, and the excuses others want to make for their inexcusable behavior.
If you're the type of irresponsible parent that lets their child run free unattended and unwatched in dangerous public areas where others are doing dangerous things in a manner and place prescribed by law and you get violently angry at others when the predictable happens, I think you're an idiot and should have your child taken from you. That's a typical problem with most parents, reason and responsibility goes out the window when it comes to their child.

It's the skate area of Cannery Park in Hayward, CA.

You can see in the pic that the kid wasn't running in the area where you are supposed to skate. You can see that he was going right toward a set of picnic tables. You can even see the rails (coping) attached to the concrete in one area that aren't there in the area where the kid was running. I'll give you that he's pretty close but it's still entirely on the skater.

I just gonna say one last time that I'm not trying to justify the actions of this kid's mother. I'm just saying that, bottom line, hitting the kid was absolutely the skater's fault.

He was a nice guy and apologized, he didn't deserve to be hit. That said, I think her reaction was pretty normal. Most people wouldn't have acted on it but I'm really amazed at how surprised so many people are.

Is the kid alright? Probably. But I see that guy barrel into him and just can't imagine how fucking worried and angry I would be if it were my own son.

Super Moonwalker also does back flips. In his wheelie shoes.

Super moonwalking all the way down the street!

Bloodscourge says...

@A10anis - Just a heads up.

Actually you just proved they aren't wheeled shoes. The videosift title says they are, but it's incorrect. Put the video you linked in 720p and go max screen, you notice the Nike Swoosh on each shoe. Nike DOES NOT MAKE WHEELED SHOES!!!!

You notice the green one, where it's a black outline with the swoosh inside of it, you notice he is wearing that same shoe pair in this video. So thank you for actually proving me right. I couldn't see what kind of shoe he was wearing in the original video, this confirmed it.

Here are the shoes he is wearing. Nike Free Run +3.

TL;DR = Nike doesn't make Wheel shows, dude is wearing Nike.

Does this settle whether there are wheels or not?

Freerunning academy with Super Mario Bros gym

westy says...

free running is one of those sports that i think works better as a game or film than it does as something to do in reality.

This video convinced me that i dont want to particuly do anny free runing in real life.



maby I would consider giving it a go if i had a soft thing below me and the thing i was jumping on was softish.

The Winner of the World Freerun Championship

>> ^eric3579:
Looks to me like they took the running out of free running. There's more running in a gymnastics floor exercise.


Exactly. This looks like pole dancing to me. Plus, there's thousands of circus gymnasts that can do the flag. If you want that, go see the Cirque du soleil. I think I'll stick with Parkour, thank you.

Zero Punctuation: The Second Annual E3 Hype Massacre

raverman says...

Assassin's Creed should be about the future, free running skyscrapers and killing Investment bank CEO's who are really the illuminati.

buuuuut... Their writers are a team of History researchers. They use real events and characters to make their story line and dialogue

Unfortunately that means they would be really shit at free-writing Science Fiction with no historical storyline to jump off.

Some unusual skateboard tricks

poolcleaner says...

I practice both, but they're not really comparable. Skateboarding is more comparable to free running because of the flashy, unnecessary movements, but the movements are soo different, I don't see the comparison at all.

What I can say, however, is that what you learn while skateboarding and what you learn while tracing fill in some gaps one for the other. However, I think rockclimbing and bouldering has more transferable skills to parkour.

This is my experience, though; maybe someone's experience is the different. If anyones is, what body movements in skateboarding do you feel are similar to parkour that the two would be comparable?

It seems like parkour tries to be a modern reinterpretation of gymnastics.


More like a reinterpretation of the obstacle course in an urban setting. If you're talking about doing gymnastics while running, then you're talking about "free running", which is not the same as parkour, "l'art du déplacement" (art of moving). Parkour is an art, as in martial art, whereas free running is "do whatever you want while running as long as it looks good". Parkour can and should look good too, but efficiency is paramount.

Parkour compilation: best cityscape flips, jumps and stunts

poolcleaner says...

This is more of a free running video than it is a parkour video.

Parkour was invented by David Belle as a way to fluidly move from A to B; whereas Free Running was invented by Sébastien Foucan, incorporating flips and other flashy ways to show off from A to B.

aha fair game sir!

Hehe, yes, I know of Dice, I am working in Sweden at the moment I quickly put the tags in, so, I have added "swedish and computer game" to takes and kept "french and free running tags" too

thanks for the vote
if you know any other sifters who might like this point them this way, I think this could be a very cool game



In reply to this comment by EDD:
Regarding your http://www.videosift.com/video/Mirrors-Edge-1st-Person-Parkour-on-PS3-In-Game-Footage -
you might want to consider adding 'Swedish' or switch to it from French in the tags, cause DICE is a Swedish developer. I know parkour is associated with France, so the choice is definitely up to you. Just letting you know what was a fellow gamer's first association.
