Think of it like this... You don't know them. They don't know you. So you'll theoretically never meet them again. Plus when you get better, doing the tricks bring a crowd. an example of this would be when my friend and i were at school and we were kong vaulting the lunch tables (while skipping a class;D) All of the seniors and juniors were looking at us. Some even came up to us and were pretty amazed. Never be Embarrassed. Cause i doubt just any person off the street could do better than someone who cares enough to practice.

i'm 17, so i can still get away with using elementary school play structures. pretty much, my opinion is that it's not really that embarrassing compared to skateboarders 20 years ago. we're using our hands/feet and just 'doing body resistance training' in the public's eye, compared to people doing tricks on boards. those of you just standing around trying to do backflips, though, you're on your own.  |

I know, it's poor message board etiquette, but I didn't read every single page before posting.
I want to say that I understand where you're coming from, I really do. It's kinda like buying condoms (God, I hope that at 14 you have yet to have this experience...). You go into a store to buy some condoms, you expect a couple options only to find that there are half a BILLION options. How do you choose? Especially with shoppers walking by? I was with a friend of mine (he was 29) and he had condoms in his hand. His parents were coming down the aisle so he threw the condoms to the side as to not be embarrassed.
I am now married (for more than a year) and still feel self conscious when shopping for condoms. I'm married!!!! I'm being responsible by not putting children into this world that can't be provided for; yet, I feel embarrassed.
Finally, I realized that I'm actually better than most people by actually going to get condoms and not being irresponsible. (a study has shown that traceurs are more narcissistic than the average person). Being a traceur is like buying condoms.
You're doing the right thing. Others may look down on you for it, but keep at it because you're making the world a better place. If you were a parent, would you want your children to play violent video games or do Parkour? I know what I'd prefer...

thats not poor etiquette, that's smart. btw, the above argument makes no sense at all. you're not better than anyone for buying condoms. Being a tracuer is not like buying condoms. doing parkour does not necessarily do the world any good. then all of a sudden you start a random attack on videogames. if you want to make lengthy posts please make sure they are cohesive and flow from one argument to the next. |

The argument does make sense, it was just brief. The thing with buying condoms is that I'm taking control of my life and future. I'm not going to be surprised by a child, I'm going to be prepared (not to say one might not sneak through). That's what parkour is all about; being prepared for whatever may come up. Being able to efficiently get from point A to point B. Taking your future into your own hands. Parkour (for many) is about bettering yourself. It's about discipline. And in regards to the video game argument: I probably should have left off the 'violent'. It wasn't part of my argument. The point was that I'd think most parents would want their kids to be doing something outdoors, something active as opposed to sitting infront of a computer or Tele playing games. Also, I never even implied that Parkour makes the world a better place. Make you a better person--maybe. One last thing; RenegadeofJump, can you please utilize your shift keys? |

-From this it appears as if you are trying to talk about the variety of condoms somehow relates to parkour. Somehow the variety of condoms makes it harder to pick in front of strangers; even though, if they cared, I doubt they would think any better of you if you picked the right condom.
-Then you go into a quick little anecdote about your friend being embarrassed.
I am now married (for more than a year) and still feel self conscious when shopping for condoms. I'm married!!!! I'm being responsible by not putting children into this world that can't be provided for; yet, I feel embarrassed.

-This implies that doing parkour makes the world a better place. This also implies that you somehow want to speak out against violent videogames.
Your argument was in there, but your intro and ending conclusion were not really related to what you were trying to talk about. I'm sorry but from now on you should try to be more clear and make things flow from one thing to the next.
by the way, my shift key was broken, jeez.
