dang;. i wish he could come practice with me i mean there are like no good spots to do this in either. also listen to this...

Ok i was parkouring off of a 10 foot ledge last night. when i hear my friend(observers friends) yell cops but the guy had already gottten out of his car so i couldn't run. so i go up to him and talk. then i give out all of my info then my parents are called. now the ledge i was jumping off of was privatre property. it would have been nice for me to know. there wasnt even a sign. it belonged to the church and the priest called the cops then started talking about the right path in life. i didn't even say or mention parkour because then they probably would put up a sign saying no parkour or something.

 is this stupid or what.

It happens all the time! Don't worry about it though. Just be polite as possible, explain that you didn't know, etc. Crazy with the priest though lol :p
As for your location, my girlfriend lives in Woodsboro and both of us go to McDaniel college in Westminster [which is about 20 minutes from where she is, so should be the same from Walkersville.] If you have transportation you're more than likely to come on to McDaniel and join Disciple and I who both go here!
We train pretty regularly at least once a week when our schedules match. It IS the second semester of our senior year, but there's always time for parkour :p Feel free to hit me up on Instant Messenger if you want, or just post back here. My screenname is "sQuizirrel".

Other than colleges, there aren't really set places that are always going to be good for parkour :p
Just look around for, if you're just beginning, low walls and rails on flat ground to start practicing your basic techniques! It could even be your front porch with a railing! Download and watch a whole bunch of videos and maybe that will help enhance your parkour vision and soon you'll be able to find areas to train even out in Walkersville :p

Hey i have been demonstrating some parkour moves to some kids at school and now i have about 6 kids who go to these sites and practice these techniques. I am hoping to get a practice goup together and to possible make a club for it at my school.

Hey man, try not to look at it as needing specific "sites." Parkour can be done almost anywhere! If you havn't already look through the "What is parkour?" Links on the American Parkour main page!

yea. i would love to have somewhere to parkour. i live in a country type area, so it's hard for me to really parkour. the only thing that i can actually is jump off a roof and roll. i also practice flips but yea.

Hey Psycosis!

Right now I'm at college in Westminster, MD but I'm graduating in May. Then I'll be back at my normal stomping grounds of Rockville, MD. A lot of the action goes on down in that area [Rockville, Silver Spring, Fairfax, Bethesda], basically anywhere along the DC Metro line.

I'm not sure where New Carrolton is, but chances are you're close to someone :p
