Parkour is a sport that rose to popularity in the mid-2000s that has been embraced by athletes of all abilities and ages.
Parkour is a sport that involves maneuving around objects and items. Parkour is an urban sport that evolved from youth jumping from place to place. Parkour practitioners often leap from building to building rooftops, overpasses, signs and more.
Parkour gyms are a common sight in most cities, and the appeal of parkour comes from it's freeform style and exercise benefits.
Parkour can be dangerous, and miscalculations when jumping and leaping can lead to injuries in the bank, arms and legs. Precautions must be taken, and Parkour gyms are padded and sportsmen are counseled to wear protective gear and equipment.
For me, the appeal of freedom and being able to leap from place to place like a superhero is overwhelming. I have been involved with Parkour gyms for several years, and thankfully have never been injured. I enjoy flipping between structures, and don't do so in an urban environment anymore.
Sounds like fun!
