My Sport is not mentioned though it should be, it's called Freerunning or Parkour 

This is a link to my youtube account please take the time to look at it.  http://www.youtube.com/snookytoeflip

Hey my name is Rodney Shelton and I live and breath for the next day I get to go out and do Parkour and Freerunning. It is the greatest sport for self improvment and I just cant stop it. I have been doing it for about 3 years but I've been more involved in it more so now than when I first started. I would love to get sponsored so I can do this for a living. I am sure there are lots of products that should be representing a sport such as this. I would not stop training if I got sponsored because it would be my life. And I would be so happy. But I hope a lower class farmer can get some sponsors to help him start his carrer. Thanks for the chance for a future

this is good not sure who said it but I love it

"It is the little fears that quietly steal our lives. The grand concerns – death, loss, the meaning of existence… these things, by and large, we can and do ignore for most of our days. Philosophers and theologians may quibble and fret over the details of such imponderables, but most of us have not the time, or lack the inclination, or perhaps are just fortunate not to be burdened by too much curiosity. And many fears are rational, of course, and can be friends to our lives; the fear that heightens our awareness in a dark part of town, for example, or the fear of falling that we suddenly develop when standing too near a cliff’s edge on a windy day. Fear, however, is a clever beast. It is behind fear’s reasonable façade that the real danger lies, poised like the scorpion’s tail, ever ready to sting. How much of your day is given over to the small fears? It is more than you would at first think. They are the kind we barely notice, and yet rarely ignore. They are the fears that make each day comfortable: The fear of standing out that bends us all to conform in almost every way; the fear of being laughed at that holds us to silence when we would rather laugh out loud; the fear of rejection that causes us to avoid so many potential connections. These fears we are used to, for they get us through the day smoothly and with as little conflict as possible. They are the fears that get us to work on time, that prevent us from challenging the opinions or methods of our superiors. They are the fears that drive us towards the so-called respectable goals we are told are worth achieving. They are the fears that make us imbibe poisons when young so that our peers will accept us. Fear ensures we are constantly on the defensive, always responding in the present to our worst imaginings of what the future will bring if we don’t. The fear of consequences limits the actions we take. Fear becomes the actor in our lives, while we gradually join the audience, becoming passive spectators at the routine events of each of our precious days. So it is that we spend so much time pandering to our fears that our lives pass us by, until there is not even a whimper, let alone a bang, at the end "

  Rodney,
Sick moves man, were working with a new program called Digg that allows for articles and videos of our athletes to be searched much easier on sites like google, yahoo, etc.. I attempted this morning to put some of your videos on there but when I searched for them on Youtube I didnt get any results. If you can help me out with this that would be great man. Keep up the work, hopefully ill talk to you soon.

How's Life Treating You?

Well I think it is in us all to find something that they are willing to risk everything to have. But Life is treating me OK I am still alive and well and able to do what I love.And I have been getting pointed in the right directions to be sponsored. I just hope a sponsor helps me get on my feet, Please just have faith in me, I won't disappoint

Why do you like this sport?

I do freerunning and parkour because it is the thing that can take me to a different world. When Im out runing I am focused to the point I am almost meditating. And not to mention the great physical condition you have to stay in for this sport.

Describe your style...

I have been told I have a very aggresive style which I guess I can agree with that. Since everything I know I taught myself. But I still feel smooth and free.

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

Yes, I do train everyday that I am not in pain from overworked muscles. I usually try to train about 5 hours 4 to 5 x's a week. It usually consists of lots of overhand pull-ups, 9ft drops without rolling to build legs. There is to much to list and some things cant be described, maybe I will make a vid of me training, although my vid on here is pretty much just one day of training.

Music?

what you are listening to. stuff like this really puts me in the right frame of mind for Freerunning
