It's great that you're enjoying your time training, however I'm finding it difficult to understand what you are asking because of the language barrier.  If your question is whether or not parkour could be in the x-games, I (as well as the rest of the community) will say absolutely not.  We consider parkour a discipline much like martial arts, as opposed to an extreme sport.

If i misunderstood what you are asking, i apologize.  I'll check this thread again in the morning after I get some sleep.

Most people do agree that Parkour can't be, however many people believe Freerunning could be and already has competitions for it.

Even though freerunning is just as non-competitive in nature as parkour and based entirely on a persons individuality and creativity. But, what do I know?  :-Sarcasm

There are times when you want to break down and rage at the heavens. Don't. Stay calm, and let the emotions flood in, accept them and then rise above them. Never dwell. Don't fear or worry. Anything worth thinking about is worth talking about. And... Good luck.
