When you tried to use a gutter for something other than water. maybe for training. :o

When you train just because you can.

When you train when you think you have to.

When you train when people wanna train.

When you train to get better at training.

When you train to train others.

When you train because your bored.

When you train to train to better your training.

When you train for physical attributes.

When you train for mental attributes.

When you train for PK and flow in general.

When you can train and not wear yourself down.

When training is fun.

Thats PK in my eyes. I love to train. Especially on gutters.

...when somebody you never met comes up and says, "hey! arent you an aggresive walker?"

...when the guy at the shoe store knows you by name.

...when going over something becomes more natural than going around.

When you're girlfriend isnt a girl, shes a construction site

When you're cheating on above girlfriend with at 10 foot brick wall

When you're cheating on said wall with the bank's roof

When you've been warned you'd be charged with "being wicked fast"

hahah! We nicknamed a hotspot that we visit regularly "Julia".

Last week, while we were out jamming, the conversation goes like this:

Me: Hey! Let's go see Julia now! I miss 'er!
B: Hm... I think we need to wait. You know... make her WANT us more.
Me: Yea, you're right. We don't want her to end up taking us for granted.

Everybody else agreed that we needed to tease Julia by making her wait a little more before we visited...

What kind of Parkour/training can you do with a gutter? I can't think of a single thing. (I'm thinking of the little curb gutters, maybe half a foot high on the edges of roads)

.... when going to another country or state the first thing you think of is "I wonder if there is a parkour scene over there".

Haha, that's perfect. I always look for PK Group in the area I'm going to before I leave.
There is just one reality left: We are here and it is now.

...when you look at the wall you've walked pass 1000 times before being a traceur and then rape it

we've named a spot at the U of Utah "emerald city"...because there's a large green-tinted glass structure in the middle. 

i like the idea of giving people-names to hotspots, though. 

...when being described as a monkey becomes a compliment.

Glad you all like the idea! It's fun to personify and have relationships with inanimate objects/areas. hah!

Why do you type off-topic statements like javascript codes?
