Listen up. PK CAN be compared to skateboarding because of the physical intensity of both sports. They both require a high discipline and physical exertion. So the debate about comparing PK to skateboarding is wrong. If any of you were even anywhere near good at skating you’d know that. I am a skater and freerunner myself and i can say from experience without skating I never would have been able to put up with the physical exertion of freerunning.

parkour (PK) and free running are 2 different things, free running is jumping from roof to roof, parkour is a colection of jumps, tricks and flips. i should know beacaure im in a little group called L.P.K wich is Lothian Par-Kour. we are all around age 13-18 (im 14 myself) and every weekend we go to livinstone (scotland) to P.K

Parkour is an awesome way for me and my freinds to feel free and its not a buggy as skateboarding because of all of the security. With this youre just jumping around and the ploice cant do anything about it. (unless youre trespassing) it also is a great way to become more fit and strong. its cool

some good things, too many bad things

it sounds like they didn’t use what the traceur said, infact i know they didnt. no self respecting traceur would compare it to skateboarding…it makes me sad

Parkour and Freerunning are two different things.

“Sebastien wanted to be on his own and do his own thing. Like any sport, such as a martial art, you have a base, and then it evolves into different disciplines…It’s about being efficient and getting there as fast as you can.” - David Belle (founder of Parkour)

“Freerunning is to see your environment differently and being able to
utilize it to develop yourself!…Freerunning is following your own way, and this is my way.” - Sebastien Foucan (founder of Freerunning)

Other problems with this article…Skateboarding is a bad comparison to parkour. Levesque has no accent marks in it. Dan’s alias is Ductmonkey, not Ducked Monkey. Finally there is no debate over efficiency versus tricks being parkour. That debate has been closed for a long time.
