It's been more than a month of sundays since I last heard the term "chode" myself.haha
Matt- you so crazy.. ::)

We eventually got hastled by the cops. Their main issue was not our "climbing and jumping off things" but more on taking pictures of a police station. They kept saying "in this day and age anyone taking suspicious pictures ESPECIALLY of a police station will be stopped and questioned."

Yea it was especially nice when they made us sit down on the street while a bunch of business people were walking by.  I told them that I felt like "A bad dog after pooping on the carpet...Im just waiting for the rolled up newspaper."  They were nice about it...and we were able to film the cops leaving...we asked if we could film them at point of hostage takeing but they told us they wouldn't like that to much hehe.

I think If your going to jam in front of police station inform them before hand and let them know what your doing, I would do so anywhere your likely to be complaints for security. Parkour is not yet widespread and I think its good time to develop a positive relationship with authorities. Do people want to see no parkour signs up next to know skateboarding signs?
I shall not fear, fear is the mind killer the little death that precedes total obliteration

I will face my fear, I will let it pass over and through me and were it is gone, I will turn the inner eye and see its path, and only I will remain.

The word "parkour" or "freestyle parkour" nor any of it's affiliates never came up. We DID tell the cops that we were a group of gymnasts. So be on the lookout for "no tumbling" signs.
