So, I do feel kinda BAD writing this blog today but I think people need to learn about the basic principle of what Parkour really is. Remember guys, since we live and die by the internet here Wikipedia says Parkour is:
So yea, fun little video I made a while back explaining how ridged the idea of Parkour really is, however today I will agree with the robots in the picture. I see people doing this all time with just putting the word Parkour in their title to grab attention toward a project they do on YouTube, no matter how BAD the video. SEO and all that greatness is awesome, but for the most part, your killing the idea of a discipline guys. If I saw a backyard brawl between two squirrel I would likely title my YouTube video squirrel fight, not BAD MMA Madness 2012!
As you see in the video below there is a guy who evidently did some training around the world, but to me, it's a handstand. Sure we can go all existential and ask "Is it really just a handstand?" The truth of the matter is that it only shows a bunch of handstands. You see videos like this on YouTube all the time. So Traceurs out there, please from the bottom of my little BAD heart, do not put a wrong impression of Parkour out there on the YouTubes, than again...that's pretty much said every PARKOURBAD article in one way or another.
