Nah, its ok. The net connection is a little too slow. Cheers anyway. The thing is I've been reading some of the other disscutions and the Parkour pros seem a little elitist. "This is parkour... that isnt parkour... I think your getting parkour confused with..."
I was a little shocked by how narrowly people define it.

well ive checked too some forums and a don't think they mean to sound elitist, there just letting people know which moves are and an't parkour, but i don't think it really matters as it's about self expression and thats down to the inividual

Its hard to define what is parkour and what isnt! Ive been doing flips and aerials off objects for a while and the flips which are from gymnastics are also done in parkour. The expression aspect the puma mentioned is the right way to go!

Hey all, i am really inerested in Parkour as are a few friends, saw it on C4 like many, but i was thinking because you lot all seem older like 20+, and me and my friends are like 15 16 and it doesn't seem like it would feel right teenagers hanging round with a goup of adults, you know??!!

I missed the show :S but looking at that site with all the things on makes me think whoa. By the way, think we should pre-order an ambulance?

Ahh, Trick seeing as you've been doing it for a year or so does that mean you know what your doing?! I think your the first one! It would be nice to have someone with a bit of expierence! Not sure what you mean by... No i haven't found many good places to do Parkour in bedford so i started going to Milton Keynes and i just walked around and found walls and buildings. Bedford has its fair share of concrete
