You know you're a traceur when

1) you're over 20 and still "play" on playgrounds at local middle schools
2) you run up to your 2nd story apartment to grab some tools, throw them out the window, run, vault, tuck and roll off the balcony to get back down instead of using the stairs again.
3) You watch you cat jump from the couch to the mantel and think "you're doing it wrong"
4) When you get lost driving in the city you remember your way back because of the sweet spots you saw on the way.

...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)

Haha, 100% with you on that one! Smiley

...sitting on your butt all day and doing nonstop physical activity isnt.
...the majority of essays your written for school relate to parkour a little bit and your teachers always ask you to explain them.
...when you play any video game you always try to do parkour within the game even if it wasnt meant to be.
...when you like summer more not only because its less cold outside but because there are more hours of daylight for training,

your friends recognize "that look on your face" when you're looking at an obstacle and go "oh, geez. not again."

you play leapfrog and roll when you land.

your friends always come to you when a ball gets thrown on the roof.

your parents tell you you're going on a road trip and you immediately check the apk forums to see if there are any traceurs in the area

You listen to a song and all you think about is how cool that song would be in a PK video.

You edit PK videos in your head to songs you're listening to.

HAHA Plus 3! That made me laugh hysterically.

You know you're a traceur if you've ever successfully vaulted an obstacle and had to go back and explain to it's owner why.

Can you also picture a shift manager and three disgruntles employees yelling at me? Yeah. I fucked up. Lol.

Anyways, you know you're a traceur when you take the long way to get to your class just so you climb up the walls of your school and end up getting to your classroom quicker then if you had taken the short way.

You know when you are a traceur when randomly during the day on your way anywhere you just go using the long ass the handicap ramp and all of a sudden you say to your self out of shock "why in the hell am using the ramp and not cutting across by just vaulting over the rails" to which sometimes you go back and do it.
