I was abandoned at a young age to fend for myself. Using my wits and expertise, I managed to impress a nomadic lynx pack who welcomed me in when I proved my courage and power by defeating the dreaded Badger Lord, Gragonox. The Lynxes instilled within me the skills of balance, speed, and the ability to lick my elbows to make them clean. When I came of age, passing many trials of fire and brimstone, the Elder of the group challenged me to a duel to finally become the leader of the pack. I succeeded in beating my sensei in a furious scramble to the top of the highest peak in the mountains, where I stood victorious. My training with the lynxes completed, the pack ushered me into the city where I could begin my new task: marketing my new style of hip hop which incorporated funky fresh beats and acrobatic expertise. While performing in the street, a kind fellow approached me and told me that my "beats were damn sizzlin' and I could be one of those 'paka-koo' guys". A quick query to the local library followed, and the rest is history.

I had heard about it before, and I like climbing stuff hahaha. What got me to start was that they were starting a club at my school. The club never happened, but it got me to start parkour so i consider it a success.
