Not sure if this one has been mentioned already (since I have too little time to read 37 pages worth of posts), but... You know you're a traceur/traceuse when... ...you watch an action movie, and during a foot chase scene, you get all bent out of shape because there are SO many paths the hero could take to escape, but he/she doesn't, because the movie was filmed "before parkour" (I mean prior to its reintroduction into the modern consciousness; please don't get all over me about parkour being a modern name for an ancient/natural human movement, yadda yadda.... I get that; but you know what I mean vis a vis parkour and film).  Example: I was watching "Enter The Dragon" the other night, for the billionth time (but notably for the first time since starting parkour) and during the flashback scene when the guys are hassling Bruce Lee's sister, she is going through this village trying to escape them, and the whole time I'm expecting her to vault stuff, and do all these underbars and whatnot, but no... she struggles to go around all the obstacles, and I'm all, "NO! Lady, go OVER the fence! It will be so much faster! No, VAULT the pig! Just hop right over it! Trust me!" and it was sort of making me crazy, watching all that inefficient pathway going on. That's when I knew I had totally nerded out on parkour. To her credit, though, she was totally kicking ass with her kung fu against all these dudes. Solid.  |

It's so beautiful...NO, I'm not crying, a bee just flew in both my eyes. LEAVE ME ALONE!!! lol
You know you are a traceur when...
Every time your little kitten is running around playing, you watch him intently trying to figure out ways to improve your Parkour techniques, and marvel in how fluidly he moves.
You are jealous of your kitten because he can Parkour better than you.
I have a ninja kitten, so this is not pathetic.

You know you're a traceur when you're watching gymnastics and when the vault event comes up. You give the t.v a quick, hard glance and assume they're talking about parkour. Then you laugh to yourself and realize you're still watching gymnastics.  |

oh god the corrections! Hey I made some mistakes, probably made some typing this. I'm sure everyone is going to be fine, well except for you phishfi, but I don't mind because your an ass. Stop correcting people and enjoy the forum. Hey man, I'm just fixing peoples' mistakes for them. It's an attempt to help you perfect your english, and I thought that you were posting that first post incorrectly just to mess with me, which is why I said what I said. I'm not trying to start a big fight, or have you smite the hell outta me; I was merely trying to help. |

One, you correcting everything people type is just annoying.
Two, who made you so much better then everyone else at English that you can correct ours.
Three, I guarantee when you are typing your posts now that you are like rereading it like five times to make sure you didn't mess up on your English

im pretty sure everyone here can speak and write english very well and dont need any corrections. your not helping your making it sound like everyone is stupid.
dont bother trying to correct my writing as i already know what i did wrong and you can safely assume that everyone else knows what they did wrong also.
