You constantly annoy your friends, family members and anyone else around you by commenting how terrible the technique of characters on TV or movies is when they do something related to parkour.

You laugh when penguins try to do something parkour-ish, and fall, or just do it incredibly sloppy and uncontrolled.

When you see a kid do something at all similar to a Parkour movements, and spend the next three months hounding him to train with you.

Your friends girlfriend yells at you everytime you see her because you are the one that has made the boyfriend stop and stare at every gap he sees and say aloud "I wish _____ was here to see this."

...when you're at a shopping plaza and begin walking on the rails in a middle of a crowd.

...when you've blown through more shoes than your girlfriend in the last year.

...when you can point at a bloodstain on the concrete and say, "That was me!"

...when you and your pals are having a nice dinner at a restaurant all you can think is, "Bet I could wallrun over that old couple in the corner..."

Although you've cringed at people who aren't paying attention to what they're doing when they're driving, you find yourself swerving in and out of lanes cause you're in a new town and there are so many possibilities... LOOK, there's a nice rail, and look at that 8 foot high wall, I could tic-tac that... then you remember you're driving and LOOK in the rear view mirror, there's a dude with white knuckles and a purple face!

the houses around your neighborhood fit into 2 catigories: the ones whos let you vault their backyard fence. and the houses where the owners come out with a gun...

you mother's jeep has two huge dents from you trying to kong the hood twice... and you told her you just ran into it.

your younger sister become a 5'5" vaulting oppertunity

your parents wont even buy you a fire escape for the second story. they just say "he'll be fine"

You read through this thread and start doing these things, to make sure you're a traceur.

...when you follow squirrels with your mouth gaping in awe of their tree running skills.

YES, so awesome. They have such mad skills.

...you play Prince of Persia obsessively, trying to figure out, "HOW!!!!???"

...you used to kind of like Winter, but now it's just a pain in the ass.

...you mark the first day of Spring by the day you can do a tic-tac, climb up, precision jump, etc, without slipping or sliding (at least here in CO, we don't have rain)
