First and foremost, parkour is not a sport.

Second, I think of some of those parkour crews as whores. Nothing else. Why? Because they sell their abilities for money. Like mercenaries, like prostitutes. I abhore those who abuse parkour like this.

Those parkour crews may have skills, but they don't always have heart.

dear anonymous, if you read my comments again you'll realise that i actually like parkour and indeed it is an impressive thing. what i have problem with is not parkour itself but the 'exploitation' of parkour by a ridiculous number of brands and perhaps the 'selling out' of some of the parkour crews who will take money from who ever is prepared to give it to them. the problem is that brands are so dumb they rarely come up with new ideas on their own they have to 'buy' their way into youth subculture.

Yep, Parkour is everywhere. Its elasticity is impressive from McDonald's ads and so on to the latest Madonna video shot in Japan. Parkour is becoming so passé :)

Hi Julian my point is brands that try to be cool look for whatever is considered the latest trend or the coolest thing particularly in youth culture, they then slap their logo on it in order to benefit from it, however if every single sports brand you can think off try to do this and around the same thing e.g. Parkour the cool thing starts to become overexposed, oversponsored, overhackneyed, overpromoted...mainstreaming cool kills it.
