My Awesome New Parkour Video
If there’s one thing I have seriously been getting into lately it’s parkour, which is a discipline focused on moving from one point to another as smoothly, efficiently and quickly as possible using the abilities of the human body, something I am awesome at. This weekend I decided to go out and make my first ever parkour video in which I show what at this point I would like to describe as my “mad parkour skills.” It was really fun and also kind of difficult at times but in the end I pretty much nailed it. There were times when I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to successfully climb this thing or that thing, but I have to say the hardest thing about it was changing outfits so many times. It was time-consuming and stuff to do that, but I really felt like it was necessary to the flow of the piece. And it was totally worth it in the end because- as you can clearly see from this video- parkour is just one more thing that I am pretty f@#king sweet at. My only regret is adding really crappy music to the video footage. I’m not sure why I did that. I guess I was just tired from all the hardcore parkouring I had been up to all weekend. That’s the thing about parkour- it will really take it out of you sometimes, especially that one trick where I fall backward off the roof and then land on my feet. When I did that, a lot of people were all like “No, Dave, don’t do it!” But then I was all like “No, I’m gonna do it! I’m gonna do it!” And then I totally did it. It was super fun. And then when I was all done, I took all my friends out for one of those six-foot subs that you can get at the really reputable sandwich shops. I did this because I am generous and also because I live my life to the extreme in pretty much every situation, especially sandwich-based ones. File under: business as usual as far as Dave Hill is concerned. Okay, I have to go take an extreme shower now. I got like six loofahs.

wow Dave! you really did well there mate!
that’s more costume changes than a Kylie concert! who’d have thunk it?
what would be ace though is a video of all the 2 - 3 second periods after some of these jumps, where the lads shin bones burst through their knees or when they flip into the path of an oncoming Bedford van

Some sweet moves Dave! I can see why when you uploaded this to youtube in 2006, you didn’t post it for so long. We just weren’t ready to see such extreme stunts.

Hey Keeno and Timothy,
Thanks. I’m pretty proud of it. It’s some of my best moves.

To tell people to “shop around” is probably the worst advice you could give as it doesn’t matter how good of a driver you are you (the good driver) are going to pay for all of the bad drivers out there (there are millions of them). I do not believe in no fault insurance, as someone is ALWAYS a fault. This along with socialized medicine is an absolute farce and is failing across the board.

One of the benefits of shopping online is that it helps consumer saves time. This suits the current lifestyle of most people who are rather busy and have difficulty finding time doing all their shopping at physical stores. With online shopping, they can cut down on their traveling time. Furthermore, if the product they want is not available in the physical store, they need to go to another store to find it. With shopping online, all these inconvenience can be avoided.
