How about you go flip off a rock or try a 9ft precision jump and then you can come and tell me about how jumping from rocks is what children do. I made this video to show my control and power iv obtained from dedicated practice, not to show how cool i am because i spent time learning to flip. Im sorry you didnt like my video but until you do what i do, i will have zero respect for your incompetent critiquing, and lousy negative feedback.

you sure you know what Parkour is? The person who 'founded' it says it's to move in a way to help cover the most ground, as though you're chasing or avoiding someone. This means that jumping from a 10ft building is included, not showing off. I used to jump from rocks to rocks when I was a kid and vault a railing when I was like 13, in fact sometimes I still do if it's an easy way than walking around somewhere. Oh wait, that makes me a "traceur" because I'm moving in a way that makes me cover the most ground. I tried to be helpful for you to make better videos. Hell, I said you had potential to make better videos, but instead you decide to insult me and claim I have no idea what I'm talking about and that I don't do it (which how you know what I do confuses me). No, you're right, I don't do that stuff because I'm grown up and don't want to go out in public jumping from one rock on the floor to another rock on the floor. That's something that many people have done when they were a kid, looking for ways to jump around from a slide at the park. I did that shit everyday.
The more interesting videos are the ones who 'show off' because even though they are 'showing off' the still incorporate the definition of parkour, by moving in a way to cover ground, to get from A to B and B to A. Scaling walls, jumping building gaps, even if they're not doing a flip at the same time, it's still better to watch.
