Unfortunately almost everything is made out of limestone, which while mostly OK when dry, is deathly slippery when wet :]

I'm not sure about the most cause there are soooo many places I wanna go to but when I was young I spent 3 years in Germany and saw 130 castles. No one else has mentioned it so I'll say it. I'd love to back and train in some of those old ruined castles and some of the cities of Germany - like the city of Trier.

I've never been there, so I could be totally wrong, but in my mind Rome is a place of infinite possibility.

Washington is a nice place to do parkour, there is all types of stuff here... it would be interesting to go to Jerusalem or Lisses though and train there for a bit. Smiley

For me actually, an actuall PK jym. I have been all over the country yet I still have yet to train in a safe environment. I think it would very cool and useful. Smiley

Or maybe if that doesn't count then I would love to hit up Belle's favorite spots.

I've travelled a lot and lived lots of places.  But that was before I saw the world through the eyes of Parkour, if you will...

Looking back now, I would have to agree that Hong Kong would be an awesome spot.  There are tons of parks and huge, spread out malls that span several blocks and several stories.  So, on those hot summer days, how about some indoor PK?

Minneapolis (though much less exotic) offers quite a bit, too.  Seriously.  I can think of some great spots off the top of my head...

I'm in San Fran now and there's a lot here, too.  Unfortunately, I'm such a beginner I can't take advantage of a lot of it.

I was in southern Brazil and there was a TON there for nature Parkour.  Seriously, it was amazing.  And the national parks there have practically zero security.  There are no safety ropes.  And if there are, you don't have to pay attention to them.  You want to go right to the edge of that 200 foot drop?  Be my guest.  Nobody's watching you to make sure you stay in line and stay on the trail.  Trail?  Who cares about trails?  Ah, sweet freedom...

Some of the villages and towns in rural West Africa offer a lot, too.  It's like urban PK in a rural setting.  No big drops, though (nothing's that tall).  But you can get both urban and rural that way.  Both environments intermingle very closely.

That brings me to northern Thailand.  Oh my goodness.  There's a mountain village I'd love to go back to and do some PK there.  A village build on a hillside in the middle of the jungle.  Need I say more??  There are fences, huts on stilts, trees...
