PARKOUR
Everybody knows about people who does parkour, there are a lot of videos in YouTube about great people getting nice results of weeks, months and years of hard training. It is funny because a lot of people say it is or looks easy, but, did they tried to do the same things than this athletes? Everybody can run in a dangerous zone like a roof and jump awkwardly to the floor, but not everyone can do this movements again once they fall the first time, and then combine stunts and somersets to travel fast across the city's sights and public parks showing their skill. Maybe there are persons thinking that the people who is doing parkour are crazy, that they are just adolescents trying to seem cool risking his life, but there is more than this! As I said before people dedicated to this has been training for a long time improving his physical level, and took a lot of classes about techniques and tricks. Of course there aren't just teenagers who practice this sport, so this could be an evidence that prove that not everybody who is learning parkour wants to presume of this. I can tell you for example about the first traceur ( this word means a person who does parkour, it's like saying cyclists or swimmer, it comes from the french ). His name was David Belle, and he was in the French army since he was nineteen, he is considerate the creator of parkour. His finality was to create a faster movement method to move trough the cites without impediments, what was useful for his job. But with the time this definition has been modified because as you know good traceurs are amazing and that's what the viewers want now: tons of deadly jumps, stunts ... and without stop any moment! So that's what we understand now about parkour, and even have changed his original meaning it still being the same important or maybe more! Because you know, with YouTube publicity you can make famous every single thing you want ...

Okay that was the "positive" part of the traceurs, now comes the negative one. Who haven't search a parkour fails video? Nobody! Because it's good to see these persons realizing successfully risky and dangerous jumps, but it's better to see the part of traceurs or false traceurs who doesn't! These persons must take care of his devil-may-care attitude! According my deductions 8/10 thoughtless are drunk while they are risking they life. Scientifically proven ( just kidding ). We all know try to do something spectacular sometimes is hard, but what is really spectacular is the sum of fail videos that are nowadays in Internet... What's going on? Is this people recording on purpose videos where they are hurt ? Oh my god, what a few YouTube visits on your videos do ...
