You pass the time in class by inconspicuously doing those ankle exercises.

Ha np. I do the one where you put one foot on top of the other and do lifts. I lift until my leg is about to spasm out (burning from the lactic acid build up) and then push for 10 more. I try to get at least 2 sets of those on each leg in. I need to work on the form/technique of the different lateral exercises where you push the balls of your feet together, rotating at the ankles. I think Chadmanx's exercises might be better, but these work well for in-class. Grin

I'm busted.

And my friends do frequently do this:  Roll Eyes


You know you're a traceur/traceuse when...

...you meet people (or are walking around at work, or waiting for the shuttle, etc.)and you look to see what sort of shoes they're wearing, to try and spot if they might be into Parkour (or if the shoes themselves might have merit).

...you suspect someone's shoes might be good shoes for Parkour, and you ask them if you could see the sole...

..."trying on shoes" at the shoe store includes putting your foot up on the wall to see how much it'll slide and/or streak.

...your roommates leave it up to you to change all the light bulbs in the house.

...you play "lava" on your way to the laundry room.

...you intentionally wait until the last minute to leave for work so that you can use Parkour to get there on time.

...you feel a connection and friendship with people you've never met, or only met a handful of times.

...you still love playing tag, but your friends don't like playing with you.

Haha omg everything except the lightbulb one I'm completely dead on with =D Only I do that for school and each class = ]

...you write all of your essay's on the Highschool qualifying exams on the writing part about Parkour or relating to it somehow.

Personally, I don't know any guys who flow, and that''s kind of a personal and disgusting thing to be posting.

Just kidding. =]
I agree, with a 123895713608/1 traceur/traceuse ratio, it can be rought out there...

you know you are a traceur when...

Not in my dorm... Takes like 10 mins for the elevator to get to you...

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.


yeah, I had a jeep... There were dents on the hood from konging over it.

By the way, NEVER attempt a dukes of hazards slide across a Jeep hood.. Those little metal things that hold the windshield down will catch your thigh and you'll be sore for days!!

My turn now:

... you demand that you visit every campus for you pick where you go to college simply so you can look for parkour spots.

... you post in forum topics titled "You know you are a traceur when...".

... you wear mountain-climbing shoes to class, to the store, and to work just so you can break them in for PK.

... You know who David Belle is.
