tricking + uni

i do free running, which is similar to parkour.
i guess that it helps a little bit, it helps build up strength and
balance.
and on top of that, its just dang fun.

Free running is a translation of the word "Parkour".

Free running IS parkour.

To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the IT guy, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

free running and parkour are different, parkour is more about getting
from point A to point B in the quickest, most challenging route.
free running is more like tricking. its similar to parkour, but is a
little more about looking cool.

(park-or) an urban activity where a traceur completes a 'run',
overcoming obstacles on the route with a variety of gymnastic and
acrobatic moves including elements such as jumps, vaults, and wall
runs. For a more compete definition click here.

i conclude: parkour is freerunning is tricking

This is my cities Parkour website

http://www.sheffieldparkour.com/

"what is parkour? *Le Parkour* (also called *Parkour*, *PK* and
*Freerunning*) is a physical discipline of French origin in which
participants attempt to pass obstacles in a smooth and rapid manner.\"

Interestingly the definitions of Free running and Parkour in Wikipedia
differ

i d parkour and it is different from freeruning. parkour is about being
efficient whereas freerunning involves more flashy moves like flips but
are not efficient.
tricking is just flips and tricks and is nothing like parkour.

Ok,

I've heard of Freerunning since 2000, now I've just recently heard it
called Parkour.

When did Freerunning start being called Parkour?

Gotta Know,

Marconus

Its the other way around...parkour started to be called freerunning. an
d Freerunning is just the americanized version of parkour.

Whenever we end up with a rider without a unicycle (often this means we
broke a uni on our ride) we tend to play around with some parkour, just
basic stuff like body twists and cat jumping and rolls. its quite fun
to do and can keep you occupied when your unicycle is in pieces on the
ground next to you :P
