Yeah!<br />
Very good point!<br />
Something like: where <i>were</i> you when you started, where <i>are</i> you now in your practice, where would you see yourself in -say- 3/5 years...
Yeah!<br />

Yeah, the personal things are something I definitely will say; I just wanted to know if there was anything you guys would like me to get across.

...well, you've covered a lot.<br />

I would recommend only to distinguish between <i>anti-competition</i>, because of the negative consequences of competitive training for safety, health and longevity, and instead <i>anti-competition</i> as opposing idolization of competitors, growing communities of viewers instead of practitioners, and ultimately exploiting a discipline and its philosophy to entertain the masses, instead of improving their condition (may need to rephrase this last, <i>commie</i>, wording... lol!).<br />

This last point is in fact the so-called <i>commercialization</i> aspect, which, should be clarified (IMO), it's not about people making a living, or even nice money, thanks to parkour (opening gyms, teaching, demoing it, etc), but about its appropriation by business professionals, repackaging and distributing it through mainstream channels, which ends up in a misrepresentation of the discipline, its philosophy, and the practitioners' motives... as nicely described by this (independent) <a href="http://baparkour.ning.com/forum/topics/uptodate-article-on-minnpost">article here</a>.<br />
<br />
If anything, I would definitely add a word about the grassroots movements called <i>local PK communities</i> (also comparing it with the concept of <i>team</i>, <i>clan</i> and <i>tribe</i>)...
