Ok everyone heres the lowdown on the Sport, Parkour
Parkour is about mind over matter and consists of Flips Tricks, and flow
A Traceur is someone who is about flow and about self control and self discipline kind of like urban tai chi if you like.
Tricking, Hence the name is about tricks and style, much like breakdancing but a little more extreme
There are 3 kinds of people who do Parkour
1. The spiritual: someone who does it because it helps them keep control and keep calm. they think of Parkour as a way of life more than a hobby
2. Energetic: Someone who does parkour for a rush and to keep them moving about they think or Parkour as a hobby
3. The preacher(me): Someone who, like the spiritual thinks of Parkour as a way of life but with this Preaches to their friends/Relatives about the sport thus converting them into Parkourists aswell this is not always the case because some "preachers" prefer just to know that people know what they are doing and aknowledge their videos/Pictures
Hope you enjoyed your history lesson
Thanks for reading
