This thread is going nowhere very quickly.  I think it should be locked, but I have not the power to do so.

I like to touch different kinds of surface textures.
Parkour lets me do that without feeling weird.

That's just what I think, which doesn't really matter, cuz I can't change anything anyway.

So have fun to your hearts content! Wink

I had this problem for quite a while. i was deathly afraid of looking like a moron in front of people. then i realized that i had to just get over my self, and just do it. what actually helped me was working into slowly. do a little vaults and jumps in front of people, and eventually you'll start to notice that some random person's opinion doesn't matter at all if your doing what you want to do and it makes you happy.

I never feel embarrassed but I usually practice on playgrounds because i am a newb, the only problem i have is little kids watching me and trying to do the same. because of that i practice only when there is no little kids around, I don't want them getting hurt.

That's respectable, and I encourage to keep that up. The ones that are a tad older, I let them know that I've been training in it for a while, and give them a very brief overview.
I mainly just cover:
It takes lots of work and training
I'm not just screwing around
Don't do this sort of thing, because it's very dangerous.

You'd be surprised how much they actually comprehend and respect what you're doing.

I had that problem, people lookin at me weird when I'm drilling.  But what I like to do when someone is staring at me, is just stare back with like a "watchu lookin at, fool?" expression.  They usually look down and walk away with a "oh oh, nothin...uh...sorry" expression.  But yeah, if you're with a group, people will probably watch with respect, you know?

Usually when you're with a big group of people noone is going to even say anything to you.  I also dislike training in front of people but I am slowly getting over it.
