I didn't even know what parkour meant until I saw videos of it (although i saw this a lot before). I never got into it personally actually, since I was a bit worried about hurting myself lol. It looks quite cool, though. Someone who used to work at my place is into that a lot.

ooh, this stuff is fun.
my parents neighbourhood has lots of washes (artificial gulleys to prevent flash flooding causing damage. they have sloped, concrete sides and usually have perpendicular walls at the tops), so we grew up running around in those a lot, running up and jumping off the sides, hopping the walls, and things like that. we also had a fairly large park with lots of sand, which was great for swinging around on things and climbing poles.
much like that since then, though, and am too tall for easy front and back flips. )=

EDIT:
oh, but there is this, i guess:

i beg to differ on the flips if you can tuck well all you need to do is make sure you get some good hight :P

EDIT: welp id say you would do just fine with flipping and stuff. lol

also that is the worst way to roll >.<

Oh I just read half the first post and thought it was talking about "planking" but seems it's something much more acrobatic. ;)
Does seem pretty dangerous,


Psst... If people have died from "planking" this could be even more risky...
