SO MUCH FUN.

I LOVE IT.

I've never been able to do all the flips and shit, but jumping off really high places and not hurting yourself is just as fun. Playgrounds and urban parks are the best places to do it.

I pwn everyone in playground tag xD
We play where you can't touch the ground, so you have to jump and climb everywhere.

Parkour + tag = win

This is definitely something I'm learning how to do this summer.

Gopher - Flips and stuff is known as tricking. Not really parkour as such =p

Lust - Definitely worth learning, if you want any advice on moves etc i can help =]

I used to be obsessed with it in like 8th grade xD

You don't have to be good, you just have to be willing to accept the pain of failure until you become good.

This is definitely something I'm going to start, so two questions:
1.) What are good shoes that get good traction, and other stuff needed to be successful while doing parkour?
2.) What is a good way to start, as I don't really live in a city, and don't really have many places to go besides the woods and a small elementary(like 5-11 year olds) school near my house?

EDIT: This is not good to do in a forest, especially right after the snow melted. Multiple cuts and scratches all over my body. Next time I try in the forest, I'm going to wear jeans LOL.
