I'm sorry... Hella delayed (havent been on in a LONG while), but this is just... WOW.  David Belle was the FOUNDER of parkour.  Of course he's the best in the world, and of course he's serious!  To be the original traceur means you NEED to set the example for the rest of the traceurs out there!  Just had to get that out.  People, please educate yourself before sounding like a fool.

One last beef about this thread. 

Free Running basically

Reply by: Vito_Gangitano at Jul 05, '09 07:26

 Free running came AFTER parkour.  It's a variation of the sport that we traceurs encourage, but it's also more of a show-off sport.  Parkour was designed as a method of fluidity and efficiency in human movement, and free running is not an efficient way of maneuvering through your environment.  So, as a correction, Vito, free running is parkour, basically. Not the other way around.  And yes, I realize I'm being a dick, but I want to educate those who don't have their facts straight.
