Well done sir.

But personally, I love stringing together a wall run, dash vault, and diving kong- makes me feel like Altair more... ;-)

I can stand on the ground with my own two feet, and occasionally move one forward slowly or quickly.

I like moves like the dash vault. I don't do many tricks, just jumps and wall climbs, but when I don't touch the ground I feel like I can just hover, and I feel well, not confined to everyday society.

I particularly like the speed vault, kong or wall climb, they just fit nearly everywhere :D

And yes, plainwrek... i understand you, i feel like that sometimes too :D

Nothing makes parkour feel like epic parkour more than imagining yourself as an assassin or a runner from Mirror's Edge as well... ;-)

Oh, and I'm working on sticking an insane combo: namely wall climb palm flip to wall climb backflip. Obviously there's a slight break between the two combos for a ledge hang or something, because I'm not that good. And I'd rather not break anything... ;-)

Flips don't really belong to parkour because they're inefficient, that would be more like freerunning, at least in my opinion :P

I'm currently working on improving the airtime on my double kong, as well as the height on wall climbs... :)

True. I like to mix multiple things for more efficient ways of locomotion and traversal methods. :3

Practice makes perfect, as they truthfully say. ;-)

I think this too. ALTHOUGH, they can be in certian scenarios, but those tend to be more risky. Doing a flip over a small wall is more efficient than a jump, because the landing would increase momentum. Mainly just doing flips when you should be in the air anyway is more efficient for the momentum, but I tent to not even enjoy flips.

Another GREAT think I love to do more than just doing Parkour alone; Parkour photography.
