Why is everyone so down on people copying things like this?

Yes these guys you see are experts, but did they instantly become experts or did they start off with no skills copying the experts they saw?

I am in awe of what Danny Mac can do on a bike. Those drops he does would break me let alone me on a bike!

As for parcour, it's very cool when done well, like those lads. I always have a laugh thinking about trying to catch them for something.

Me; "Chasing suspects on foot...lost 'em."

Feckers.

Grumbles about how I could do that as a lad whilst skulking back to my car...

Oh, and nothing is funnier that watching a bunch of rubbish skateboarders trying tricks, failing miserably and trying to look cool as if they didn't want to do the trick at all!

cos its danngerous and may of the copiers (younger one just starting off) use private property to do it.

strange view to hold for me as I don't mind skateboarders. THink I;ve had enough of KSI ramming parkour down my throat saying the kids want it the kids should get it and therefore fund me £8k to do it!

best bit chair of the group is a cop and Like bluepete doesn't what to teach the scroates how to get away!

Like has been mentioned they all have to start somewhere, motorcycling is dangerous when you first start out and remains dangerous the whole time your on the road. Can lose the police on an M/C just as easily.

True to an extent. You cannot start biking on the road until you are deemed old enough to be sensible (ha ha ha) but some of these emulators may well be very young and very stupid. Of course people should be able to have a go at things but come on - an eight year old leaping off rooftops trying out the free running he saw on Channel 4 is just asking for trouble. Time and place for everything. I hate the ever-tightening H&S mentality but this is potentially lethal.

I agree, but i remember being 8 years old and thinking WWF Wrestling was the dogs and jumping out of trees, I turned out OK (relatively), at the end of the day kids will be kids and they will do stupid things. We all have.

Easy to moan and criticise when your all grown up and sensible, just got to remember what we were like when we were young.

Unless you have taken your plate off - erm no.

Also - can you outrun a Helicopter?
