Wow that made me feel like a dumb ass. :/ Every thing they said there was a different sport. Parkour and Freerunning were the closest. WTF is jibbing, did i miss an era or something. WTF I'm literally lmao right now.

Edit: At least they got some of the quotes correct. But... they did add some random quotes from random people. Kind of odd. :o

I actually know where freestyle walking came from. Does anyone else remember a lil show called rocket power. Well in one episode they had to make up new sports for a contest. Sam, the nerd, jumped onto a bench then jumped off doing a 360 and called it freestyle walking. For the rest of those words. I have no idea what most of them are. Terrible.

Jibbing- snowboarder slang for grinding a rail, box, or something else. Tricking off an object basically

I was just about to say, yeah.. that's a snowboarding term. But I NEVER heard it used elsewhere (I'm not a skateboarder, but I'd assume they call it grinding)

Sounds like they had nothing to report so they made up some random crap about parkour. Urban Jibbing...that made me laugh. hehehe

Sometimes the internet is not a good source of information folks. Go to good sites, like this one.

How in the world can someone write an article, get it published, and recieve a paycheck or any other kind of acknowlagement without doing any sort of research.  It amazes me what sprouts up on the internet, and it amazes me even more that people believe it.

I posted this on the APK website but I'm gonna post it again here too.

Don't get in to much of an uproar. Yelling at this writer won't make here change an bit other then to give here a resolve to bad-mouth Parkour again. 
 
The 2 things we can do is find those better writers out there who will write the truth - like what is supposed to come out in the New Yorker and secondly, continue to practition Parkour with the UTMOST INTEGRITY.
 
These two actions will bring out better reviews and by our actions people will understand Parkour better and then that writer will have hung herself by her own words. This happens all the time. Anybody or any group that sticks its head above the crowd (does something different) is liable to catch a few tomatoes. And anyone who wants to moan about nothing and spin lies will but Truth WILL stand Testing. 
 
Keep Running, Keep Practicing, and Keep yourselves Right!!!
