Parkour

I Know i said this in another Topic, but i would like to expand upon it. What is Parkour? Parkour is movie from point A to point B in the shortest amount of time using the full rage of the body's movements. It's not a sport, its the art of movement. Parkour is a great Anti-Zombie Tactics because you could get away from the Zombie better; or move in a spot that Zombies can't get to you and start sniping them. If you want to see some Parkour videos, check out my website Parkour videos

(On a side note that i feel that i have to say, My website will not just have Parkour videos. Since I'm still on a side note, if you need a person to make a nozombie promo video, I'm your guy). Also check out our Photos

Well, between this and Ninja Warrior it's only a matter of time until I break something.

I took ranks in Tumble. And in Jump.
(I can roll past people, and jump up onto something half my size with a little run, but full out parkour is beyond me.)

Well a kong vault is running at an obstacle, say, a trash can, jumping towards it and planting boths hands down, use your forward momentum and tuck both legs into your chest. Then, push off and land running on other side. And a vault is just running at a fence or something, jumping, and using your hand to swing yourself over. And the wall run is self explanitory. You run along the wall. Its pretty fun. I can now kick off of the side of my house and clear my fence with no hands. Its pretty sweet. Trying to get a video on Youtube

Yeah Parkour or freerunning is a very cool skill but using it in the ZPAW??? I have yet to see a video of someone using their skills while wearing attire more suited for the ZPAW not t-shirts sweat pants or shorts and running shoes but wearing a backpack boots and carrying a cut down broom to simulate a long arm now that would be really interesting

Basic freerunning isn't all THAT hard if you're in good shape. Going over a fence, for example. Or jumping down from a height. Weight might affect your jumping range, but are you really going to need to longjump post apocalypse?
