So I have to admit I am pretty enamored with parkour/free running/whatever, and have been learning some stuff and practicing almost every day, lately.
If you don't know what it is, here is the general idea

There are some opinions about this ranging from it being "an art form" to "a bunch of punks hopped up on speed balls jumping around, climbing crap, and being general douchebags"
Me, I do it because it is fun, and kind of...well, you know,
bad ass
So far I have got this down:

So any of you sacks of shit down with this stuff, or is your opinion
terrible
You ever try and draw Falcor as a giant dong? No? It just ends up looking like a long cyclops.

Usually they do a bit of a thing and then stand around waiting for people to come and talk to them so they can start blabbering about the free runnner mantra.
Such a bunch of cunts.
Those guys are just fishing for compliments.

You could relate that to alot of things, though.
I just chose pointless acrobatics over, say, baseball or something.

right into my friends crotch - like he had stepped in to catch me, but instead my dome just kind of pulverized his nuts.

I like seeing it in movies though. A lot of folks think those parkour chase scenes are pointless, but the fact that there's no film magic involved is pretty impressive. Very Bruce Lee-ish.
Being able to easily get past all kinds of obstacles would come to be pretty handy.
Won 20 bucks.
Then there was the one time I grabbed on to an 8 foot ledge of my high school gym and proceeded to climb to the top of it.
I bet most of those dudes are around 19-21
Whereas parkour is more about terrain, obstacles and maintaining speed and fluidity while overcoming them, tricking is all about martial arts and gymnastics while trying to look as much like a movie super hero as possible.
I'm implying that your mother's a whore.
tricking?
really?
Do you ever just think about how awful that is and how awful you are?

EDIT: and don't give me this bullshit "what if I need to outrun some highly athletic mobster kingpin drug smuggler" you live in your parents basement and work at blockbuster, this will not be a problem

The main point of Parkour is to get from point A to point B as quickly and efficiently as possible. If this includes using the stairs then, by all means, use the fucking stairs.

sometimes people do things because they find them fun
not everything has to have a use
also it probably gets you into pretty good shape, as running usually does
Or people who want to have higher chances to survive in a post apocalyptic scenario.
