Art: the products of human creativity; works of art collectively; "an art exhibition"; "a fine collection of art"

Sport: an active diversion requiring physical exertion and competition. I see more sport than art.

 

[Parkour12]

Still a sport

Its still art, sport competes, parkour is a movement, we don't compete, we go our way

 

[Passerby]

it is a art, parkour is never competitive, it is the art of movement, and everyone style is effected by there personality, the kinda environment they grew up and and there experiences. which if you look at song writers and musicians there music is influenced by the same things.

Art is anything you can express yourself in, thus I see this as an art. If the person participating desires it to be as such.

I believe the definition of Parkour is to get from A to B in the most creative way possible.

Practically, you want the quickest. That's what makes you get imaginative. Point A to B in the quickest way possible is a straight line. Obstacles in your way --> get through/over them. In some cases, around. You want time efficiency.

For pure practice, creative would indeed be what you want, since it doesn't matter if it takes you half an hour to make a 5 minute trip.

 

[Parkour12]

understand

even though Its fastest way to point a to point b, you are still using art to get there, even though they are not flips

How the hell did he get down so freaking fast????? Did he just fly!?

 

[s@ik]

if movie was shot in HD and on youtube, and the guy says "pakrour is an art" it doesnt mean its true. its his opinion. for me it will always be a sport. no matter what ppl say, no matter how good they are..

Its still art, sport competes, parkour is a movement, we don't compete, we go our way

t is a art, parkour is never competitive

then how about those RED BULL competitions? and this guy was there too..
so PK can be competitive..

 

[s@ik]

and please do explain to me, he is so specific in saying that parkour is an art, then why are they doing double B-twists and flips? maybe i am not getting something but if u wanna be specific the difference between parkour and free run was that PK had no flips?

Definition of play: Free activity to explore environment, self-expression, dreaming and pretending

Definition of sport: Physical activities governed by formal or informal rules that involve competition against an opponent or oneself and are engaged in for fun, recreation, or reward (Lumpkin)
Organized competitive physical activities governed by rules that standardize the competition and conditions so individuals can compete fairly.

It is not a sport.

 

[s@ik]

i know all of those definitions.
well sure we can call it a physical activity..
