[edit] Free Runners

Britain's Got Talent (2007) -- called "Free Runners" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF6dQHIh_DA 199.214.26.8 19:13, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bit of a stretch

You know, a lot of these are kind of a stretch. I mean, going by what's in this article now, you could pretty much add anything that had some kind of acrobatic movement in it.--24.22.234.213 20:39, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I fully agree. Running, jumping, and climbing do not equal Parkour. This is like making a "Karate in popular culture" article and naming every movie that had a fighting sequence in it. Anything that is not directly Parkour must be deleted. 77.49.195.211 03:37, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Original research

All of the uncited entries are original research and must be removed. Please find a citation for each entry where it is specifically described as parkour. This is a good example of what we should be looking for here. *** Crotalus *** 21:47, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chuck

Near the very beginning of the pilot for the television show chuck (tv series), a character, Brice Larkin does Parkour to avoid security guards. Contralya (talk) 05:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
