Does Parkour give you a 'rush'?

**Shane** · December 25th '05

Created this thread after removing the Parkour poll option from the 'Which Sport Turns You On The Most' Thread.

For me Parkour really gives me a great rush. I don't think I would be doing it if it made me feel really good inside while I was doing it.

im not going to answer the poll, i don't think i get a 'rush' from doing pk, but i do get a feeling of thorough excitement and fulfillment when im doing it and i feel a sense of achievement even at the simplest of movements. it's hard to explain, but there is something there, that's what makes it so thrilling and enjoyable, but i don't know what to call it.

Its a rush Ben, the adrenaline and the excitement.

**Riccardo** · December 26th '05

Yeah Ben, hes right. that would be what you call a rush

The 3 main reasons i do parkour are: The Rush, the exercise and the fact that we almost always have a laugh

**Ben** · December 26th '05

i didn't like to call it a rush, as i would class a rish as like a physical thing you feel like a rush on ewould get from drugs, and teh achievement and excite from pk is not like taking drugs, unless it is...i really wouldn't know. that's why i didn't want to vote but now i have. im with you.

who is the 3rd voter? (me being the 4th) someone voted against our votes but didn't post anything...

I get a rush o blood to me fukin head when I fall or but thats about it.

**Riccardo** · December 29th '05

the polls had 6 vote, are there even 6 traceurs on the forums?

if your going to vote, it would help if you have tried Parkour before, so we don't get false readings and if you haven't tried it, why the hell not!?

**Sponge'K'nob** · December 29th '05

Now try the running along a wall about 30 foot high,then tell me you don't get a rush!
The whole fear part is what i love about parkour!

**Mattimadhead** · January 12th '06

It GAVE me a rush when i did it for a while it was really good but now i get the same rush from doing a perfect ollie on my skateboard or mastering a cool smooth trick on my bike

**Ben** · January 13th '06

yeh i get this rush when i do a roof gap, that's why i do the same one again and again, it never gets boring.
i get a constant rush from just like vaulting the two odeon walls repeatedly or justlike running round and round teh odeon konging verything in sight and running round the whole place climbing stuff (not lampposts) and jumping stuff and not stopping until my heart does.
