As an attention whore, people watching, and asking questions is not a problem.

Thanks for the high five, but I will say it's odd when a group of skateboarders stop to watch you.

It'll come. First learn the palm spin, which is easy to learn on beds. Then get picnic table if possible (If not that's ok) and put it up against a tree or wall. and make the angle increase each time. If you don't have a picnic table your screwed though...lol jk you can use anything else that's flat and sturdy. Wink

Hey man I am from the Harasaki Team in Chattanooga Tn, and let me tell ya, we used to be embarressed here to practice. We would go to downtown in teh city to practice too. We still do and have found some great spots. Basically, don't sweat it. Yeah its a bit weird practicing at first. But it gets A LOT easier when you have a team to work with. When I'm downtown by myself I don't even care what others think anymore. Buts heres a tip. Make sure wherever you freerun/parkour, only practice for like 1 min.-5 mins. cause otherwise people get mad. Move form place to place. Last time we stayed somewhere for 10-15mins and the police came. Its was horrible. But just make sure you have fun with it whatever you do.

Ive never practiced in daylight Sad Training at night is very dangerous, as I can't see where im placing my feet or landing half the time...

It is kinda embarrassing to practice during the day and the places I like to go are kind of inappropriate to practice on during the day. 

I like to train at a local High School and then Fresno State University, both of which have ppl on campus all day.  What do you think I should do?

Heck maybe I should go to FSU tmw morning nice and early.  There is a great wall to tic tac up by the art department...  Grin

First try to get permission, and if you are embarrassed you must have just started, because once you get into parkour, you don't really get embarrassed, you love to show the community what you a doing, and you eventually get a nack for talking to them about it. Just be careful about your decisions. =D
