...you tear up a hot spot with a chick in stead of going to prom with her.
...you yell "First Blood!" and hold out your hand enthusiastically so others can see, then keep going.
...you replace "Chuck Norris" with "David Belle" in crappy jokes.

And I wouldn't say converting so much as recruiting... kinda...  ::)

You know you're a traceur when in your daily life you go out of your way to step onto and lightly jump off of small objects such as curbs, stairs, and the edges of low planters. 
I do that and i get the oddest looks from people

Amen

Edit: When you see somebody do a back flip over a rail and say "I could do that faster with a Kong Vault"
       When you tell your friends to go look at this forum even when they have no idea what's going on

When you leave the windows of your car down just so you can pull a David Belle

When you start replacing verbs with David Belle

but you get repeats

and this thread was originally bashing "parkour kids" who dont know what theyre doing but think they do

go read the first page

When you see opportunities that you can't perform frequently.

You know your a traceur when...

going around a vehicle to get in the other side seems odd to you

you use the term "bouncing off the walls" in a literal since.

every banister, rail, and wall in your house is damaged or covered with skid marks from vaults & tic tacs

Skate borders start calling you crazy, even those you could say the same about

I'm not the only Clint here! Yay! :D

When:
You tell your friends to start working out so they can do parkour too.

Your shed is breaking apart and has no more paint at waist level.

You see a comment in this thread that says muscle up. Promptly look it up and run out to your shed in the rain and do it.  (great technique, slippery surfaces will bow to me :P)

You can be seen sizing up walls and ledges with lustful eyes while thinking "Next time."

One of your knees are down for the count at all times, but that doesn't stop you.

... you get grounded for stretching the leather on you're mom's best couch.
... you set up an old dresser in the middle of the hallway to practice kongs.
