Huh...
Top states in the USA that searched "parkour":

1.   Utah, United States   
2.   Oregon, United States   
3.   Washington, United States   
4.   Colorado, United States   
5.   Hawaii, United States   
6.   Virginia, United States   
7.   California, United States   
8.   Indiana, United States   
9.   Connecticut, United States   
10.   Arizona, United States

Utah, Washington, Colorado, Hawaii, Virginia, and California as I understand it has quite big and "notable" communities. (Not that others don't.)

Top cities in the USA that searched for "parkour":
1.   Salt Lake City, UT, USA   
2.   Milpitas, CA, USA   
3.   Sterling, VA, USA   
4.   Portland, OR, USA   
5.   Denver, CO, USA   
6.   Seattle, WA, USA   
7.   Pleasanton, CA, USA   
8.   San Francisco, CA, USA   
9.   Rochester, NY, USA   
10.   Raleigh, NC, USA

Very similar. Utah, California, Virignia, Oregon, and Colorado all prevalent.

Just thought I'd share this with y'all.

EDIT: Grammar changes

This is just general people who have searched for parkour... I dont think it necessarily implies community size, but it has some interesting correlations. Nice find Blanc!! Google research ftw.

Of course not. There are many I expected to see but didn't, and I'm sure there are even more who aren't technologically inclined to find/post on the forums.
