True no wrong or right way all personal preferance...
But there is fact... when a vault is far more efficient than a horizonal wall run.. eg.
! !___________ ! !
____= rail
!= Wall
2 opportunites overcome the rail or kick of the wall over the rail using 2-3 steps...
Parkour Defined:
The aim of moving from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body.
Bold = Key words
What is more efficent ? .... Vaulting or underbar. which is quicker ?.... Vaulting or underbar.

true what charlie said.
but, on tic tac/"horizontal wall run" consider that, more steps you use = more energy used = less distance travelled for lower energy therefore, one step gives most distance.
tac = win stupid inefficient movement = fail.

i understand about the pm and i dont want to fall out incase of future jams if we meet up
but i know i said to look good, but the crowd around our area arnt impressed otherwise (well not much) and as thats the only 'awesome' move as they say - is 1 of the only ones i can do

well im SORRY, but there is no need to start agruing im thinking of a tiny bit of tricking like a gainer to spark things up a bit there okay ! yes i like them - they look good but parkour maybe just about flow - flow can also involve it looking goo and one technique to another smoothyl making it look good ;D

gainers aren't parkour. if you do stuff to look good, then you're in the wrong place. video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1996675427048738448Translation to a particular area: Guy : And why is the beauty of the movement not as important as the movement itself? David Belle : I think the beauty of the movement reflects the love you put in to the utility sport. It's an expression. You don't have to make sure the movement is beautiful. The more comfortable you are with the movement, the more beautiful it gets; just like when you see a monkey or a puma getting through a river you say "Woah it's beautiful". But when one moves through that river, he doesn't want to look good; he wants to get through this river, being in agreement (at oneness or in synergy per se) with his own physical abilities and the surrounding environment. I think that with time - body movements begin to stand out, but you have to train on the useful part from the beginning. [/i] that is basically, what parkour is. looking good from practice. hence how you can make the simplest of movements look lovely, and not try to show off. and btw, i have arguments with everyone online, but we get on fine in person.[/center]

well thats good ;D hope it happens with us ;D
yeah i totaly agree with what most of belle says with angel and co aprt form angel does the odd tricking *evils*
but other people who use the forum do the odd tricking to experiment like i like to experiment
and with the against compepetition parkour - i totaly agree, so im not totaly in the wrong place HAHA ;D

I think threads like this really show up the dichotomy between 'parkour' and 'freerunning'. I got into 'parkour' because it emphasized efficiency of movement, fluidity, and the total embodiment of the 'point A to point B' principle. I didn't get into it to show off and pull stunts for 'my crew' on youtube, although I am keen to challenge myself and push myself physically. I predict that as time goes on the 2 camps will divide even further, and Belle and Foucan will one day lead vast opposing armies of dedicated warriors to a heavy metal soundtrack on a 'Pay Per View' MTV title fight
