some dude makes fun of me for doing parkour and ive found a solution

the kid thats been mocking me i refuse to do anything parkour related around, as soon as he leaves i start doing crap. and ppl talk and i pisses him off. im still polite and have done nothing directly mean. its gotten the people who are actually intrested to try stuff with me and i dont have the irritating shitheads around that discourage them,

In my 2 1/2 years of training it's weird.. I've never had a run-in with cops or anyone else that ever has said anything negative about my training.

I have had a few people give me confused/strange looks though.  :D

I have only had 2 run ins I think.

One was because it was 10 pm and I was on a college campus, and the other, we were totally justified. We were playing tag on a playground.
(OH THE HORROR!!)
Heck with drugs and alcohol. I get high off exercise. Feel those endorphins pump.

The other day, I was at my local beach/park and I was trainin some cat leaps and then some guys come up to me and go like "Omg this guy's like spiderman! Do a backflip!" and this totally reminded me of this thread LOL. And no, I didn't do a backflip for them. :)

I usually tell them to do it. Then, when they say, "I can't do that!", i reply smoothly with, "Wanna learn how?".

Blam, new training partners.

perfect time for that bro...

i'm on military orders. if i leave, the repercussions are retarded...
i have no vehicle, so i'd be walking (i think this is hilarious for some reason)
aaaaaaand, i could easily get you to do a flip from my little desk i'm sitting at right now...

what are you trying to get and what have you accomplished so far?>
