American Parkour

3 posts a seems kinda strict to me.just because someone posts a lot doesn't mean they aren't saying things meaningful and contributing to the community, I know a guy called marvulus on a forum for a mmo game that has over 10k posts on his main account, and even more on his alts. he is one of the most helpful and respected people there. And, the game has only been around for 2 or 3 years.  Speaking of alts, this might encourage some people to make alts to post with. Which could, in turn, lead to more problems unless you decide to allow only 1 account per ip address,  although the truly desperate can simply change their ip.

A couple of days ago my hand slipped on a speed vault, and,well you can guess what happened

saw a video on it, then i watched some of the tutorial videos on simple vaults, so i vaulted over my couch a few times 

looked it up a little more, learned some more stuff, and.... yeah

i agree. all of us here know and understand what parkour is but the everyday civilian doesn't. all they see is what is shown in the media like movies and videos. But most of the time those tracours in the videos are showing off and doing unnecessary stunts for the camera. so as tracours we need to take a step back and view this through their eyes; its easy to see where their opinions come from.

sometimes, especially in movies, they dont even realize that there is a name for what they are doing.

it annoys me, but honestly i dont blame them.

... shouldnt your fingers be callused from playing guitar

yes... imo thats the best way to go, since that way it doesnt really hurt or leave dents in your fingers after playing for a while

at first i thought you meant body hair 

no, i dont, and i dont know all to many people that do.

I know they did a Ripley's Believe it or Not... on them.

i facepalmed many times throughout that video.
especially at

"a cross between ballet and building jumping"
"these city kids have invented a radical past time"
"should never under any circumstances be attempted by amateurs" (you have to start somewhere right?)
"like a choreographed dance"
"some of the obstacles the Yamakasi tackle are so dangerous we can't even show them on Ripley's" (there have been worse things on that show before)

well, the reason i'm asking is because the cops in lafayette, la know me because of parkour. I was just checking to see if you're around there...

oh, im in not from there.

where you at?

walking down the street next to some paranoid guys house

wow.
