The reason why we should really watch the new generation.

In parkour, instead of sitting down you can do a back flip hip turn and then sit down. Parkour is just another things emos do to attention seek. Next time you're in town, look for the retard climbing a bin.

You'll think this is shit, but think about this question.

Do you really want a fat emo running and doing backflips on your car bonnet?

Parkour is a way of movement in which the tracer or traceuse'sbody gets from one place to another by adapting to ones environment in which he or she can overcome obstacles from rails to walls by jumping, leaping, vaulting or using any other parkour techniques in the fastest and most fluid way possible no matter what kind of architecture he or she is facing.

Parkour is often confused by Free running which is a different concept because free running is parkour with more flips and tricks. Though, free running can still be very fun.

Parkour was invented by a French man named David Belle who is now an actor and probably the best traceur ever who now does a little bit of free running (but no he did not invent free running). I believe he invented parkour somewhere around the 90s meaning that parkour is still new to the world. He is still alive as of the year of 2012

Parkour not only involves facing obstacles like fences or rails but also mental ones because it is scary at some points therefore it is a discipline. Parkour is a great way to live life the way it should be: by taking risks. That is why I do it. It also teaches and inspires you to try new things even some that you first thought you would never ever do or try and I tell you this from personal experience. Just do it!

Go to YouTube and watch parkour literally
"Wow! Why is that guy getting past those walls really fast"
" He does parkour"

"Many people call me a monkey or a ninja because I do parkour"

Parkour is a physical discipline that involves traversing your environment in the most efficient manner available. It involves jumping, swinging, running, climbing, and one disregarded by most - landing. Doing these things all together to form the numerous techniques found in Parkour is the key to executing this physical discipline effectively.

Not to be confused with freerunning, which is a combination of a lot of things (including some parkour techniques). Freerunning is freedom of movement, which can involve flips and tricks, while Parkour is focused on efficiency of movement, and focuses on the 5 basic movement patterns described above.

Parkour was developed as a discipline in the late 20th century by David Belle, the son of a french firefighter. French firefighters were trained in a discipline called le parcours, which was a training format designed to give the fire fighters efficiency as they moved through burning buildings to do their duties. Young David Belle and some of his friends took the things his dad was taught and adapted them to specific techniques you can use in specific environmental conditions (short or tall walls or rails). David Belle and his friends who developed Parkour with him called themselves the Yamakasi.

Parkour is great fun and is a great way to condition your body to move well and can be adapted to many other movement related activities as well (most sports). Parkour provides a great joy for many people worldwide.
David Belle was one of the first practitioners of Parkour.

The young man who does Parkour loves training with his friends on the weekends.

French for "hopping around like a douchebag".
I remember when I watched parkour videos and thought it was a good idea to try it.

The act of pretending you are a child once more, in the fact that, the participants run around spastically pretending that the whole world is a playground. "Parkour" is the disguise used to excuse participants' child-like behavior.
"I'm thinking about doing some Parkour this evening. Wanna come?"
"Dude... there's a playground just down the block. Just spaz out there instead"
