I may be older than most who take this up, but I know I can have fun with this. I have always had a self-image of being someone who is athletic, fit, flexible, and there have been times when I was some of the above, but in the last few years I have put on weight, gotten injuries, been old, tired and achey.
It’s time to remember that I CAN do backflips, cartwheels, be light on my feet, be undaunted by the urban obstacles around me.

What is parkour???
Parkour is running around a city and climbing stuff, doing backflips, and jumping from building to building basically.
It’s good for getting and shape and really cool to watch on youtube, but its dangerous.

Parkour is about getting from one place to another in the quickest way possible and using the obstacles around you to propel yourself forward. There are specific moves that parkour uses, some that enable you to jump great distances and from heights without getting hurt, but you have to practice your technique a lot. As far as flipping, no, rolling when you land, yes, but the flipping is more of a freerunning and showing off thing that has nothing to do with Parkour itself (though to the untrained eye the movements may look similar).
Parkour was featured in the movies District B13 and the newest Bond film (Casino Royale).
