well, parkour may be a trend that dies out, i mean it got mainstream attention from the bond movie & some madonna video, but it should stay in the underground. no way that could ever turn into a sport or competition.

i don't think it will be a competition. that means there would be a track which the contestants need to pass but how will they be judged? by their creativeness or the one that passes through it faster?

I don't think it should be a competition. I think these people should be ninja like. Ninjas don't have competitions. They don't care if you know who the best one is, they do.

it could be done similar to ice skating, snow boarding or any other sport where you have a panel of judges where they rate you on creativeness, speed, mistakes and so on. it really wouldnt be that hard.

I like to practice Parkour along side with my Kung Fu. Makes for great cardio and endurance.

The whole thing about people getting rediculously injured and how parkour is stupid because it's dangerous isn't necessarily true. The only videos it looks like you guys have seen have been the ones done by the "pro's". If you were to personally looking into training parkour you owuld see the first thing you do before even going outside and working with your urban enviorment is conditioning. Conditioning to prevent any sort of injury that you couldn't get over in a matter of months or weeks. If you ever go to a jam (group get together for parkour) you'll see that even though all the traceurs (parkour practitioners) will do conditioning for the first hour or more, and show eachother new ways to strengthen tendons, and increase flexibility.

Let me try to classify the new forms of "urban movement":
Tricking (flips, flashy stuff but not practical, looks cool)
Parkour (efficiency. fastest path from point A to B. Not flshy, and all practical [looks cool from intensity])
l'art du placement [sp?] (Very much like parkour on efficiency but lacking alot of the bogus philosophy [not all of it is bogus but alot of it is unnecessary])
Free Running (mixture between parkour and tricking. e.g. instead of doing a vault over a fence one would do a flip over it)

The whole thing about parkour is that it's not about flashy tricks, cool moves, and impractical flips. It's about making your own path. Pushing yourself, mentally and physically (killing the fear). It's about efficiency and taking the quickest path from point A to B.

It's really really damn fun to do, and I really want to get back into it when I join up in Kung Fu again in October.

Any guys in the DFW area who want to get into parkour and need a partner to train with can send me a pm.

i'd watch parkour as a sport, actually. even more than i'd watch bmx or skating.
