* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'':
** Kathryn is a practitioner of [[LeParkour Parkata Urbatsu]], and tries this at one point on a bunch of {{Flying Car}}s. Except the [[AutomatedAutomobiles self-driving algorithms]] are so tight she can't even touch them.
--->'''Kathryn:''' I'm losing sight of her, and you'll need to put "can't kick the broad side of a bus" on my next performance review.
** Schlock does it later, with much more success. It helps that he wasn't wearing a flight belt; the cars avoid fliers like Kathryn to prevent injuries, but they try to rescue free-fallers.
--->'''Trevor:''' Kathryn once said she trained Schlock in Parkata Urbatsu. The advanced katas include using vehicles as stepping-stones.\\
'''Elf:''' And?\\
'''Trevor:''' Kathryn is a pretty good teacher, but I think Schlock just performed a doctoral dissertation.
