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

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

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

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.
