Crazy...

What do people think about Parkour comps?

One of the things that attracts me to things like climbing and Parkour is that it is such an internal discipline...you are vying against your own weaknesses (physical and mental). I have never been a competitive sport minded person...I know in climbing there are comps (mainly for pure difficulty) but a lot of is in the internal/intangible realm...hard to lay points down for.

What would a Parkour comp look like? A big tag game? get from point A to B the fastest? (ala the ninja challenge?) Hardest single move or best trick???

Curious...

I think they would have to do like track or gymnastics and have different events. There are so many different aspects of Parkour that it would be impossible to judge them all at once.

Gotta say, if I went to a comp. I would do it just to meet and hang with other traceurs and check out the skills. (sometimes watching is waay under-rated)

that is the essence of parkour right there.
