this is a "new sport" thats happening a lot in england (i dunno about the u.s.) theres a national team regular competions and meet ups and i wanna know why is leaping around like an idiot gaining more popularity faster than scootin? we prohably all did it as kids (climbing on any random thing in our way and jumping across gaps) but why has it suddenly become a sport ? i just dont get it.

I think that ppl who should have grown up from stuff like this needed an excuse to do it still, so they made it a sport. People get childish nowadays....

I Parkour, and it's more than just jumping around. I even got on the news for it and I just went to a jam with a bunch of other people on saturday.

Well considering these fuckers are crazy enough to jump while doing flips from building to building, running for minutes upon minutes risking death or injury. I definetly see why it's "gaining more popularite than scooters." 1/2 the kids that ride don't do anything big enough to be anything comparable to these guys in freeform. What would you assume gets more respect? A frontflip jump acrossed a roof gap, or a quad tailwhip out of a quarter to flat?

I'm the best rail jumper in Arizona.

Another reason it's gaining more popularity than scooters is that there have already been 2 full length documentaries on it.

I saw some college age kids doing it when I was out street riding and I went over and sessioned with them. They were all vaulting this little handrail, and I 360 vaulted it and they gave me props haha, and they thought my scootering was sick too.

parkour is fun i do it at my school a lot ( its a boarding school so theres alot of stuff all over the place) its basically an advance form of "bush jumping" that my friends and i fuck around with. i recommend it especially if ur not allowed to have a scooter at that place/time
