"All these people here, they come and they want me to do big things, expect me to do big drops so they can sell pictures, put it on their websites, whatever. But what is my motivation then? I could do this jump once and maybe get hurt, but even if I dont get hurt what is the point right here, right now? To make these people happy? If my family was over there and needed me, I wouldn't even hesitate. I would do it for them and thats who I train and do these things for. I'm not a monkey, I can't be treated like one.
I don't understand how people want to put themselves into great risk for money. I've trained so long and hard for myself, to save people, to protect my family... People get into Parkour now just train in order to do risks for media, I just can't understand why they would do so. That was never the goal of Parkour.
Money changes people, but that money cannot change my goal, my motivation or why I do this. Im on tour now for you, I'm here talking to you so you can help others and that's how things work, never think it's the other way around. I'm doing this for you guys, to inspire you, that's it." - David Belle, May 17th.
God. That is one of the wooziest things I've ever heard,David. And if you don't know what this is about, it's okay.

You're right Nashe. I don't know what that is about. :-) I sit here and try to figure out some of your 19 year old slang, but I guess I am too old, being 39 and all. I do enjoy reading it and trying to figure it out, though. :-)
still cool, mike. XP
its just a message from the founder of le parkour. Its totally ok since only maybe one percent of the world knows about it. hehe
and im SEVENTEEN!! hahahaha
right on!!!!!
wahahahahaha.............
did you see the vid....i know u did la ahahha
You know, I knew you were 17. I don't know why I was thinking 19 at the time. Sorry. 17. Yeesh! When I was 17, I was still getting pulled over by cops for speeding and wrecking shopping carts at closed grocery stores. :-)
Hey, Nashe, I actually know what it is! I agree with you though....How many people that do the parkour thing go off and do it by themselves? The whole point is to show off their stunts, DUH!!!
@ Mike : wahaha!! pulled over by cops eh? haha..i hardly push grocery carts, you know... i leave that to my brother. hehe.
seventeen rocks, duncha think. huhuhuhu..
@ Diane : oh man you know parkour? SWELL!!! ahakz. yeah and that was just something David Belle said..when people were expecting him to do high-risk stunts. And District B13 is showing in the US since 2nd June, i think. Belle's in it.
We got quite a number of practitioners here in Sg. do u see any in Arkansas?
Nope, I don't ever see parkour or even hear of it here in Arkansas. Just your ordinary, common redneck stupid stuff, if that counts, LOL. :-) Booze or drugs are usually involved if you hear of anybody jumping off buildings or bridges, or trying to climb them.
I doubt many people here have even heard of parkour. I only know about it because you told me about it, and sent me to google David when you were talking about how hot he is, and I wondered who the heck he was, ha ha. ;-)
i see... well, its good that you know abt Parkour, i guess... there's a whole troupe of them over in Cali, and they're mighty gooooood
