IN WHICH YOUR FEARLESS HERO DOESN'T DIE

The grand parkour experiment, up over at TSB. It's part one, where we did a slew of conditioning drills, basics, and they let us jump small things. This is good, because tripping over big things tends to put you on your head in a very damaging way, as opposed to small things, which allow you to make Youtube videos about it and chuckle nervously afterward.

Future as an urban ninja: dim.

I doff my cap to you… that class sounds fun as hell.

That picture of you is almost as scarring as the Kiffykins video.

The instructor was correct, broken tailbone is bad. Broke mine on a jet ski 12 years ago and I still feel the after effects today. A concussion would have been better.

The Orgeron would simply run straight through any concrete or steel barrier, then heave Molotov Cocktails for effect while jumping twenty feet down to hard asphalt.

Not too bad, and the Justice soundtrack always makes things cooler.

You’re looking more svelte than you did the last time you abused yourself for our amusement, O. Of course, the last time I was 165 pounds I was a high school sophomore, so I may not be the best judge.

As a former gymnast, I’m intrigued by this new sport!! Are there Parkour clubs/gyms in Atlanta?? Do tell if you know of any… I’m looking with not a lot of luck.

all I can say after seeing that video is… you have a contract from the Great Mickey in your future… they need all the people who can smile and talk at the same time

but if they don’t let you keep the nerd glasses and the sideburns they absolutely suck

you are a treasure to the blogosphere Mr Swindle, and the entertainment you provide must be captured and caged by the powers that be… they cannot allow someone so talented to run free… don’t forget to hold out for “martinis served on the ass of a virgin” or something arcane to reward your rare status
