They will never be able to ban parkour. That would be like banning running. The whole banning skateboarding thing is dumb too but when skateboarding started it was about rebelling pretty much. Which parkour isn't. If skateboarding has thrived for this long then parkour will for many years to come. Also we have the internet these days and are better able to make a community and try to help parkour get and keep a good rep.
Skateboarding was started by surfers who were rebelling against low tide LOL. |

We as traceurs need to show the world that just because they don't understand what we do or why we do it, it's not gonna really hurt anyone. I mean there is always going to be some dumb kids trying something too big for them, but the majority of us don't, we have to show that the majority are responsible good law abiding people and not criminal crack heads. Skateboarding started out with no integrity i think. But look at it now, we got Tony Hawk doing good things for sb and sponsorships and all kinds of things. This really wont happen for parkour i think because there is no competition with parkour and they can't really make money off of pure parkour ( no commercials or movies). When parkour goes truly mainstream i think that it will wind up like the jedi religion, not many people will remember what it is truly about. It will become tainted and a way for criminals to commit more crimes. But we can stop it. We can spread the true meaning of parkour to the world and show them what it really is before it gets out to them via some horrible movie. Look at the Leave no trace initiative. It's more things like that that will give pk an amazing rep. Also you may be a little confused by this, tried to be clear on my thinking but may have got it mixed up.

some kid we'll get killed trying to jump off a roof
i think that already happened. Also, i think the worst we'll ever see would be the No Parkour signs but like someone else said, there'd be no way they could actually ban it |

^ninja stars fix everything.
jk, don't actually try that.
had to put that in there because i know someone out there would try it.
but the police can't just start shooting at you.
they use their guns in extreme situations and int is always a last resort. As long as you are not threatening them in any way they won't pull out their gun, nightsitck, whatever. the least they can do is tell you to stop and what do you do, well run to another spot of course.
This is sort of a funny topic because i was talking with my dad today and i used to skateboard and i said, its fun doing something for once that when done in public places isnt illegal. And jokingly he goes yeah just watch out for the no running up walls signs, they'll come.

Really, theres nothing wrong with it. It's not vandalism. The most they could get you for is trespassing but even then most traceurs run on public property anyway. |

Well things like skateboarding and rollerblading can leave bad marks on the property. Thats why they put up grind stubs. Also, they are more invasive than we are. I mean that the other sports involve transportation from another object. What we are doing is more natural, therefore, seeming less invasive. |

to bman11ean i never said shoot just freeze and the reason i said that is cause paul bischoff was because he said how could cops catch you.i agree with you, but all propety belongs to someone,unelse you get permission from the owner(but I doubt anyone does,inculding me).And if they banned it,they would have to remove all play grounds(kids jumping and running)
all said: i dont support this,and if it ever does well then f#ck'em

Well all we can do is get the message out about what we are doing and why. Remain respectful, and let people know why you run and maybe it wont seem so wrong after all. The more people know, the less fearful they are.
And if you get kicked off someone's building, dont worry about it. Theres plenty of spots out there. Just try not to get violent and make the rest of us seem like a bad crowd.
