Nybbler: Surely this is a case of Life Imitates Art?

Silvercat: parkour.com has gone missing. Somebody want to find a new link?


The Nifty: A lot of these aren't actually using Le Parkour... at least half of them. What the heck are Tarzan and Xena doing on here?

Now, if this page is including "cool acrobatic moves used to navigate obstacles" they'd fit, but that isn't free-running, and should probably be made clear in the introduction. I figure we either:

A) cut all non-Parkour related entries

B) widen the trope to include any fancy gymnastic/acrobatic moves.

Anyone have any opinions on what action to take?

Softspoken: Nifty, do you mean "but that is free-running"? Because it seems to me that free running is navigating obstacles, using cool acrobatic moves.

Also, maybe I'm missing it, but what's wrong with the Tarzan example? He's getting from point A to point B quickly through various obstacles. Is it because he slides, or is it more on the free-running side to you?

Which I guess brings up my question, should we lump free-running into this article? Give it a divider maybe? Or just weed out free-running and make a note to not add examples that use it?
