Woah there, farm boy, that 8 pack will come in handy when you have to run away.

Parkour is for fags!

Is there a difference between parkour and free running? I'm too self conscious to do either...

Parkour is going from point a to point b as fast as possible.
Freerunning is going from point a to point b as stylish as possible.
I do parkour, easier to run away from the cops with.

Yeah but if you can do a front flip across buildings, it becomes a lot easier to just jump it.
I wouldn't say easier just more focused on, parkour is really hard too.

Yeah but what is the point of doing a front flip across a building? Seems pointlessly flashy to me.

That's because it is, really it just gives you the option to do whatever you want to, for those who aren't satesfied with just jumping.

Umm, because it's fun? You could say the same thing about skateboarding or BMX. Why do so many people like to bash parkour and everyone who does it. Honestly the people who call it "showing off" are really jealous and insecure.

I have the right build for this, unfortunately I don't live around a built up area.

For the fun, yeah. It's an awesome feeling for me, to stand on the roof of some building, especially tall ones. It would be even more exciting to "do a frontflip across a building" and watching the ground 50 feet below you pass by, and for you to land onto the other building instead of falling. Defying death.
But you know, that's just me

Whereas, If I were to do that I'd probably shit my pants and burst out crying in mid-air, but I always was a pussy.

Phew you got a noodle on you! Figuring that one out.

Its just flips and shit I dont get, I think its stupid and useless, not to mention completely inefficient for getting away from someone.
