I'm thinking the guys before me don't even practice parkour in the first place...
Parkour is not a sport, in that there are no rules, teams, or points. It is not about competition or showing off.
It shouldn't be confused with freerunning. Freerunning is more about free-movement and involves more tricking.
Parkour can be thought of as being chased by someone. You want to get away as fast as possible, right? But lets say you begin running into rails or walls or other obstacles as such. If you go around them you're only wasting time and energy.
The trick of parkour is to use as little wasted movementt while going past an obstacle. This is why most consider tricking and flips "not parkour" as they simply aren't necessary and will most likely slow you down in someway.
To parkour is to be able to control your body and mind into one being, so that you can find a path quickly, and move your body in a way that the path can be followed into the next path you're given. If you're running towards and obstacle and start to slow down in order to maneuver around it, most likely you need to practice more.

"This guy was chasing me but completely gave up when he realized he couldn't keep up with the path I was going."
"The bus didn't come, and I only had 10 minutes to get to work. I realized it was the perfect opportunity to put my parkour-training to work."

Get the panousing mug.Iceberg tier parodies/memes are a genre of list-type images in which a person's expertise on a topic is represented by an iceberg metaphor.
The main premise of these images is that everything can be described using an iceberg - You may think you know everything about it while looking at a surface level, but if you dive deep enough you'll see that the iceberg is much bigger, and with much more to explore. Using this metaphor, the surface would represent the information most accessible to the public, while the rest of the iceberg would represent much less known and more obscure information, and would make up most of it. The deeper in the iceberg you go, the more obscure it gets.
Originally iceberg tier images were primarily made as a joke but in recent years they have been taken more seriously, as people are fascinated by the mystery aspect.
Iceberg images are usually spread either on 4chan and Reddit where they are added or expanded upon by other users, or, as of recently, on Youtube in the form of Iceberg Explained videos, which have been gaining popularity ever since mid-2020.
Notable icebergs are the Deep Web Iceberg, the Fetish Iceberg, the Conspiracy Iceberg, the Cinema Iceberg, the Music Iceberg, the Super Mario 64 Iceberg, blameitongorge's Lost Media Iceberg, the Minecraft Iceberg, the Roblox Iceberg, the Disturbing Movie Iceberg and the many Youtube Icebergs.

Iceberg Tier Parodies are usually built like this:
The Sky - here lies the most common knowledge. Literally everyone knows about this.
The Surface - you are a casual. You participate in the community but don't go further than that.
Shallow Waters - you have officially entered the rabbit hole. This knowledge can be gained either by extended activity in the community or very shallow research.
Body of the Iceberg - you have either been very active in the community or are a deep researcher. This is the start of your descent into madness.
Bottom of the Iceberg - information from here on can only be obtained by old members of the community or by very heavy researchers. You have either been in the community from its very beginning or have asked your way around.
DEEP WATERS - INFORMATION LIKE THIS IS EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND - HIDDEN IN OBSCURE FORUMS AND DELETED POSTS, AND OFTEN OBTAINED THROUGH TESTIMONY BY OLD MEMBERS - FROM HERE ON INFORMATION BECOMES VERY HARD TO CONFIRM.
THE ABYSS - INFORMATION THAT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - OFTEN MUDDLED WITH MYTHS. MOSTLY FOUND BY COMPLETE ACCIDENT AND IS RARELY EVER DOCUMENTED.
NO RETURN FROM HERE - YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY ASCENDED. IF YOU ARE IN THIS TIER YOU ARE NO LONGER HUMAN, AS THIS INFORMATION IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A MERE MORTAL TO OBTAIN.
??? - EVERY COPY OF THIS DEFINITION IS PERSONALIZED

Get the puta que pariu mug.noun. The legendary den of the mysterious DJ YR LTTL PWNY has moved from El Sobrante, California to a currently undisclosed location. Site of many an all night rave and new disco soirée. One of DJ Willow from Paris favorite haunts. Where you're likely to find other members of the B-town posse dancing, chillaxin', or puking in the neighbor's bushes.
The lava lamp added to the psychedelic haze that was cast upon the Disco Parlour early Saturday morning as DJ YR LTTL PWNY titillated the remaining disco guests, as world famous DJ Willow from Paris danced on till the break of dawn.
