About Me:
I'm a military brat. My dad was in the airforce for 21 years, and we moved around a lot. I'm into sports to some extent, and I'm in XC. I never really liked any style of anything, so I started my own. I did that for a while until I realized making your own style was the popular thing to do, so I just quit trying.
Hi Taylor and welcome!
(it's funny we haven't had any taylor in one year, 650+ members, and we had 2 in 24 hours...lol!)
Loved your description about personal style. :)
XC is cross-country (snowboard), extreme combat, or what?
Anyway, glad you got interested in PK; I've been an avid windsurfer, MBK-biker, and SB-er myself and in an interview more than a year ago, I described an interesting aspect of Parkour: "at an advanced level the three have in common the necessity of being able to “read” the terrain. Parkour adds to these a third dimension: the vertical climb or drop, and subtracts from the excess of equipment, making one rely more on the raw physical/technical ability of his/her body. Moreover, Parkour uses familiar, “domestic”, elements (walls, rails, stairs) and translates them from barriers, or forced paths, to obstacles to overcome and trampolines to use for a new track, a modified path, in a very creative manner.".
Now I know that thing is called "parkour vision"...
But I'm thinking out loud... take a look at this guide, if you want, and feel free to ask anything anytime.
This is a very open community; hope you'll take advantage of it.
