Hard to get into? Don't you just run and think of creative ways to overcome obstacles on the spot?
I mean, some of the stuff I've seen people do is extremely hard to do, but to get into parkour? just go run ~_o

i would recommend you to get your hands on these movies:
Les Yamakasi
Banliue 13
Les Fils du vent
Jump Britain.
then start looking for a free running club or team so they can help you learn, i have nothing against self learning but if you get into a club or team they normally have meets and training sessions. and you wont get the whatdahellisthatcrazyguydoingallbyhimself look.

i almost forgot, start learning french if you want to go pro. the best traceurs are european but it all started in france.

Finding a club would help out a lot.
But there aren't a lot of clubs in the states yet.
It isn't that big over here.
But yeah those movies will help out a lot.
And do a search for Sebastian Foucan on YouTube.
His accent is really thick and he's kinda hard to understand sometimes but just watch him do his thing and it will help.

well, yes. Cool.

Who would spend 5 cents for a glass of WARM lemonade. Not me!

it is all about efficiency. No point in explaining, just do it. No need to question, just believe. You make it to the requirement, and then, drink. It is not just about running and jumping and rolling. It is about me there now done next.

my best friend is really into it. he like started a club at his high school. he is obsessed over it. i think it is pretty rad meself.

i could never really "get into it" myself, because i lack physical strength and endurance.... well... pretty much for anything...
but apparently all you really have to do it practice...

a lot....

I'm always impressed with the people who do Parkour. They are totally fearless.

At the moment I couldn't do it because my fitness isn't quite what I want it to be - which is a shame.
