Fan Recreates Mirror's Edge In Reality
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
Yet I've seen negative press about Parkour too, even when the world is up in arms about obese kids, then teenagers find something to do that's taking skill, intense physical activity, and ZERO financial outlay on sporting gear, and they're still moaning about it.
Ok, I admit there's risks, but I'm sure anyone with sense pushes themselves slowly, and like this guy isn't headed to the top of the Sears tower to start practicing.
The only other thing I can think of is perhaps when they do it around parks and gardens there may be damage to plants, but that is something the scene needs to prove is not their intention.
Certainly makes about 4000 times more sense than paying a gym to do stuff you could do at home for free.
Seriously , anyone picking this up, great, go for it.
Also tho, he's got a real nice looking area, with a lot of variety, but then perhaps when you do these things, you look at the world from a new perspective and see things you might not notice before.

OMG THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!! THAT WAS EXCELLENT!!!!!! RAGGHHHHHH THAT GUY IS TOO GOOD AT THINGS! I WANNA BE LIKE HIM!
If he does this kind of thing a lot, and I imagine he does if he's that good at it, he'd probably want gloves for both grip and so he doesn't tear up his hands. Even people who lift weights at a gym are very careful not to tear callouses on their hands, as it can put them out of commission for more then a week as it heals. They may use some form of chalk, or are just very careful with how they grip (moreso then a person doing parkour has time for) instead of gloves, but you still want to protect your skin when doing any kind of repetitive heavy lifting.Eykal said:
He was also using his left hand for pretty much everything, which I imagine increases the stress quite a bit, rather then both hands.
Will repeat what many have said, that is brilliant. Props to that guy!
I'd shake his hand and ask him how I can become him...
On a side note, I really should clean my keyboard or at least the crap under the shift keys.

That was AWESOME!
I just played and... well... beat Mirror's Edge for the first time yesterday, and I wish I could do stuff like that. So much skill!
But, the cup thing... cool as it was, it was a bit unrelated, eh?

I don't seem to remember card and dice games in Mirror's Edge...
That was just amazing. The even better part is he's doing this all with one hand because he's holding the camera with one hand... Nicely done.
