Great post! I remember being exposed to Parkour about 16 years ago when I was at university. As students we started to run around on campus, jumping over stuff without any skill... it was fun, but we did not really have the skill or patience to become better.

I really respect the guys putting their body on the line for this art. I guess doing gymnastics or some sort of martial art would help a lot.

Keep and doing what your passion is! Greetings from South Africa.
