"Done well" being the operative words. Of course no-one can do it well immediately. It must take a lot of practice.

Hmmm, "Complete freedom of movement" but at who's expense?

And this is where I tend to agree and express concern. What happens when someone doesn't clear their obstacle? Do they consider the damage to the obstacle? If you are a hurdler and fail to clear the hurdle all that happens is that you knock it over and it lands on the track. If you are leaping over a car and fail to clear it and land on the bonnet or roof it will be damaged, dented at the very least. A foot could go through the windscreen.

Yes, you'll probably say that expert free runners wouldn't try to jump something unless they knew they could clear it because running round it is also an option but my question is unless they have tried how do they know? And there must be failures as well as successes. Maybe it seems to you Swirve that we don't take the "sport" seriously because we do actually take it very seriously and consider it from all angles.
