"Isn't parkour about getting from point A to point B using the least amount of time?
It is certainly easier to walk from A=>B on the street instead of sprinting through buildings, jumping from window to window and such. It could help you outrun just about anyone and also helps you get places that aren't meant to be gotten to!"

"yah but if your in an urban environment and you are being chased by zombies, wouldn't you need to run through buildings, jump down huge drops, etc etc??? and no, its energy, not time.another rule of parkour is if you go from point a to point b you must be able to get back to point a again"

"How many people do you know that can jump clean over a car? With gear and/or guns....
Even if I could pull off the stuff they can, I wouldn't drop everything I have.
Just sounds like a bad idea to me..."

"Pistols aren't all that heavy, and it's a "Drop & Run or Die" situation.

If you're weighed down and have to run, you're going to get eaten anyway if you keep most of your stuff."

"i originally was talking about using parkour if you happened to be in a city at the start of an outbreak (without all your gear etc). like your buying groceries and you turn the corner and you see like 30 zombies coming after you. not if you walk into the city, well armed, ready to fight your way through, of course not, use your guns. I was talking about using it if you were caught unprepared and needed to get the hell out of there"

"Ehhhh, I might be totally wrong, but from my little parkour experience it was about getting from point A to point B as fast and efficient as possible. "
