Russian Parkour

Remember the movie "Prince of Persia"? So, next year, the film Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time with Jake Gilenhollom starring rush on cinema screens.

An excellent movie that combines elements of parkour video from the new Prototype, and in reality - tracer Executive priodelsya even as the protagonist parkour game
Yes, and installation of roller pretty good.

For nearly a year and a half ago was such a record about Krasnoyarsk parkour that began construction of the center of extreme sports. So, now it is built! And it turned out, I must say, even very good.
The gym complex are conditions for doing parkour, skateboarding and aggressive roller, BMX and snowboarding! A is called the center "Sporteks.

Here are a small video from SashenkoSergey:

Once that's accidentally found out about this game. It turns out that she was two years ago entered the PSP, and now here it ported to PC. Perhaps the graphics, this game is not too much shine, but it is entirely devoted to parkour: There are many available items and dozens of races for their use. In addition, in the game there is a qualitative motion animation characters, apparently used motion-capture. Well, perhaps parkour game added to her one more worthy representative

I've been thinking and decided it would be a good idea to make a hit parade of games about parkour. Go tell that to the truth do not pretend, and if someone would submit its own list, would be even better.

1. Mirror's Edge

Well here is useless to argue - game about parkour, traceurs about, so even with such a clean and clear styling metropolis should be on this list first

2. Assassin's Creed

In this game, not quite clearly presented parkour, but that's something that can deftly climb on any building - a fact. But this is so cool - a real virtual free tracer. Yes, and the principle of "pressed the button - and you're a hero" here, the most highly perfected.

3. Prince of Persia 1-4

Much the same can be said, but in a slightly lesser extent. This game has many other features, and parkour is not so obvious, but beautiful and touches. By the way, 4-th part of all physically unrealistic in many ways (such as run on the 4 walls in the room, and do not fall), but still clings, and so that's nice "play" to "fabulous" parkour.

4. Tomb Raider: Legend

There are more reflected climbing mountains, buildings and other structures, as well as acrobatics. But as in the case of the "Prince", is catching and interesting to climb.

5. Free Running

The game about parkour, which presented a lot of elements and races, there is a great character animation and 3D-graphics. But why only 5-th place? The game still a bit damp and a little boring. Perhaps because it had previously been developed for the portable consoles PSP, and now on comp looks a bit strange.

6. Prototype

The game is not just about parkour, but spectacular, light and very powerful movement of the main character of the city still forced to remember about parkour. It is a pity that the show truly "superhuman" abilities.

7. Various flash game about parkour

They are many, to recall the Mirror's Edge 2D. I put them on a 5 place because they just mostly 2D arcade, and look like the same 2D arcade of the last century at the dawn of the era of computer games, then played on a cassette
Plus those that were added parkour elements.

8. Mobile java-game about parkour

And here are the same arcade, but on the phones they look really quite weak. There are certainly interesting exceptions, where there are many elements of parkour, but still - it is little inconvenient arcade toys on the phone.

The site has videos describing various ways of overcoming obstacles, workout and video records of events as related to parkour, and no. A lot of interesting information, articles, parkour trainings and podcasts from the world of parkour.

Portal will not be magic wand for people who want to dedicate my life parkour, we will only tell and show you where to begin and how to do now!

Here you will not see the reflection of the so-called philosophy of parkour, "created and naveyanoy outlook of various groups and teams, because we believe that everyone has a vital position that has arisen because of the received education and the environment. And everyone has his own dream and goal.

We want to convey to you his many years of experience from various areas of sports activities (athletics, martial arts, aiki up, acrobatics, etc.) on the physical development of the body in conjunction with studies parkour (parkour training).

Parkour - says David Belle, who was considered to be the founder of this kind of activity is the rational way to overcome obstacles in urban as well as in other conditions. In constant development of their physical abilities. Everything else (freerun, akrostreet, etc.) has been derived from parkour, and the reasons why we seek will not.

However, as we want without going away from the project to give children and young people to understand that life is not only important to be strong, high jump and do a dizzying somersault, but also be a cultured and educated man.

Remember - we develop together with you!
