[edit] Renaming

I think this article should be renamed "Free running". I'm guessing it was only named "freerunning" because a "Free running" page (which is currently a disambig page) already existed. Unless anyone has any objections, I'll rename the disambig page to "Free running (disambiguation)" and rename this article to "Free running". -- David Scarlett^(Talk) 01:32, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be merged with the freestyle_walking page - they seem to be the same thing. That said, 'free running' is a better name.

Well they are not the same, but an encyclopedic reason for that is difficult... How about one is done mostly at walking speed and another is aimed at faster movements ;) If you want a better explanation I can try harder. --Undaunted 04:41, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Free Running is actually short for Freestyle Running so that would be the proper name. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.61.0.143 (talk • contribs) 13:04, 30 August 2006.

Got a cite for that? --David Scarlett^(Talk) 01:06, 31 August 2006 (UT

No when sebatien first was recorded as saying what he was doing he called it "Free Running". Although it may have been short for it i have not seen any form of media calling "Freestyle Running". It should keep the name, "Free Running" --Reece

Actually, that's not correct either. During the filming of "Jump London" someone esle suggested the term "Free Runnig" and Sebastien continued the use which popularized the phrase. there is no root of "Freestyle running" whatsoever. 71.255.229.248 12:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC) M2

"Free running lead by Urban Freeflow" .... I'm going to remove this phrase form the article, as Urban Freeflow does not lead Free running. In fact, they have purposely dissaciated themselves with Sebastien Foucan who is the leader of the Free Running movement. 71.255.229.248 12:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC) m2

actual;ly, after re-reading the article, there is so much wrong with it that it's not worth fixing that part, most of the article is inaccurate and should be completely re-written. 71.255.229.248 13:01, 6 March 2007 (UTC) M2

[edit] In popular culture

Please see Talk:Parkour#In popular culture for discussion on which items should be in the FR article and which should be in the PK article. --David Scarlett^(Talk) 02:40, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Would this be classed as a Extreme Sport as they are taking the risk of Jumping buildings and other objects (Atrades)

[edit] Advertisement

I believe that the section "What The Game is About" is clearly an advertisement. I'm recommending removing the section See WP:NOT#SOAPBOX. If no one has any objections about this I'll remove it myself. 65.1.120.38 14:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
