WHY BAparkour? Maybe to promote "the hard work of slow progression"?

Boys&Girls, Young Guns and juveniles (all a.k.a. "minors") please make sure your "caretakers" (parents, tutors, Uncle, judge...) read this. Thanks! ;)
Also: some additional insight from a real case scenario...

<-- YOUR OWN ICON HERE!         As a brand new member, you may think that the "old lady" icon is fun... but it only means that you haven't figured out how to add an image to your profile, giving everybody the chance of spotting you right away... yet...   ;)
