Parkourist = Traceur
i think it would be a good idea to just adopt the term parkourist, instead of correcting everyone and telling them it's a traceur
I'm not saying kill the traceur term, but let the term Parkourist Co-Exist with the term Traceur

I just tell everyone I'm a tricker and then do parkour anyways.

Idk... everyone seems to get it. I've found most people like the word traceur. I think it's one of the coolest words, especially when said with an english accent...

Parkourist sounds stupid. Traceur sounds cool.

Let's also start using Tennisist and chessist while we're at it, I'm sure it will catch on

In some latin countries they do use "parkourista". However for English (and French) speaking countries, traceur is the correct term

Of course you can call it whatever you want, language is often changed based on usage.

Personally as long as "parkouring" doesn't catch on I could care less

I had a 20 minute discussion with my friend about proper vocabulary and use of the word parkour... please, don't let that go to waste anymore than it already was

Andy Keller · « **Reply #11 on:** July 18, 2011, 09:18:54 PM »

I usually just stick with practitioner when talking to civilians. "Parkour" is enough for them to remember once we finish chatting...

Brian O'Neil · « **Reply #12 on:** July 19, 2011, 06:00:00 AM »

I usually stick with athlete.

I just tell them that I'm a sexy beast. I get a lot of numbers from hot girls that way.

It's funny how I can not visit these forums for several months, and when I come back, the discussions are still the same.

Grip hasn't replied to his own thread even once. I'm pretty sure you all can take this as a joke, stop reviving this, and move on haha.
