Back to the main topic of overcoming embarrassed about practicing in public, I always considered getting over this embarrassement to be a move I need to learn just like the roll or a monkey vault. It's something necessary to practicing parkour. Basically, I just kept practicing even when people were watching and if someone asks a respectful question I'd stop and answer them until eventually it didn't feel embarrassing at all.

I like to play in the snow. I stick my hands in, now where did they go?
It might be mighty cold, but that's all part of not doin' what you're told.

The best way to spread parkour in a supportive, friendly, respectful way is to do it yourself. Apply it to all facets of your life. Learn to be courteous and respectful, try to avoid discrimination and be helpful to others, etc etc. Train hard and lead by example. Thats the best way to ensure the community stays the way it is, the way we like it  I agree 100%.  |

I was the same way at first, and I even get the feeling every once and a while. However, there is good chance you are never going to see the person that is watching you again and by the next day they won't even remember you(unless you do some huge flips or something  ). |

HAHAHA, this is when my backyard parkour course comes in handy. Alright mine is 2 trash cans, a card table, a cooler, 2 bar stools, some pvc, my precision trainers, a fence, and a tree. I can do everything from cats-underbars, from kongs to every type of fence/gate vault imaginable just experiment |

You are getting arrested for doing kongs in a precision only zone.
Go with the flow-HA, I am the flow.

I can see that topics have varied since I last checked this thread  Anyway, I have found (especially of late) that i perform bettr when others are watching me. I sometimes cannot get the nerve to do something unless someone is there with me, sort of subconsciously pushing me. This is especially true with strangers. It's another obsticle I need to overcome now. I should be able to train with or without the support of watching eyes. So you could say that I have the reverse problem, lol! |
