The best sport on earth.
Parkour is the art of movement. The discipline of using your body to overcome any and all obstacles in your path.
Not only is Parkour a sport, but also a way of life. parkour practitioners, called traceurs, often share the "parkour mentality": That all obstacles, mental and physical, can be overcome.

A sport in which you get from point A to point B in the fastest, simplest way possible. Parkour does not include spins, flips, or anything of that matter. Some people get parkour mixed up with tricking which does include spins, flips, and anything of that matter.

Parkour has become an infamous word due to the amount of posers and douchey assholes with an ego that's bigger than a hot air balloon. Anyone who says the word sounds incredibly stupid and annoying thanks to the 90% of people who do parkour (the 90% doesn't ACTUALLY do it but they only say they do to be cool) who cant get their heads out of their asses. The other 10% that do parkour because they actually do like it and wish to pursue it as a profession are very respectable and skilled people, and are usually very friendly and sociable. If you can actually do any kind of flip than you are most likely part of the 10% (though flips are actually not included in parkour; free running is where flips come in. It's basically parkour with flips). You know when you've got a douche when he always brags about parkour. A real authentic parkour person will almost never even mention it and will never do any tricks in front of people unless requested to.
Douche: Yeah so I was out doing parkour the other day and im really good at it!
Real Parkour Dude: So i was sitting around playing xbox the other day...

A method of movement based upon the principles of both efficiency and speed. Originally developed by the criminal classes of France to escape the French police, it has since spread to all layer of France due to the versitility of its utility, from the typical French Adulterers (read 98% of the nation's male population) escaping the Adulteress' heavily armed husband, to the President escaping the lynch mob after his eighty-eighth attempt to sacrifice what little money and national dignity France has to save the dying European Union, and is, indeed, slowly reaching out to the international community of netizen mainly interested in 'cool-balls-awesomeness' rather than acutal 'utility'.
Gent. 1- Parkour- is that not this new French method of Running?
Gent. 2- Indeed it is sir, and very fine method of escape, if thou wouldst permit me to say thus.
Gent. 1- 'Tis genius, sir, but fitting, for who but the French should invent the best method of retreating.

Person 1: "What do they call it when dick bags run around jumping off shit and they call it a sport?"
Person 2: "Who could be that much of a wanker to call such a silly activity a sport?"
Person 1: "Hippies n' shit."
Person 1: "Oh, fuck, now I know what you mean: It's called 'parkour'. It must be French for 'being a dick' or 'being a wanker'. I get my French nouns and verbs mixed-up sometimes."

Basically, its getting from point A to point B as fast as you can. This would involve vaulting over rails, running up walls, jumping long distance, etc.
