subject: Running Videos - Showing Off Free Running Stunts [print this page] You may be confused as to why anybody would look at a running video. What is so interesting about running anyway? Well, what is on these videos is actually called free running, which is a new type of sport that is really starting make waves.
Free running puts a spin on the usual point A to point B journey that regular running is. Instead of just going from one place to the other mindlessly, you are encouraged to get there in as creative a way as possible in order to truly test your body's limits. This is quite the strenuous activity, but it is growing in popularity as we speak.
Those that are experienced and practiced in free running can do some amazing things in some very beautiful settings. It is usually done in urban settings, as these settings provide the best backdrop for this activity. It really puts a spin on the whole getting from one point to the next thing.
You can take a bus, you can drive a car, you take a taxi, or you can even just walk. There are plenty of options for you to take in order to get where you're going. These abstract running styles encourage you to get there your own way, whatever your own way is.
If you do watch a free running video, you'll be able to see exactly what it means to get where you want to go in your own way. The people who practice it really test the limits of their bodies by running on walls, doing flips, and doing other seemingly impossible maneuvers in busy cities.
While people who practice this activity cannot technically be considered athletes because in most cases they do not directly compete, and it is more practice of a train of thought than anything else, some of the things they do are truly amazing.
