In my opinion it is great sport. I’m impressed when I’m watching it. I admire boys, who do it. They are very strong and clever. This sport isn’t for me. I would not be able to do it and just jump. I haven’t got the courage and I’m very scared. I think, that about it is good fun and it is good idea for brave people in most teenagers. If anyone likes it let him do it. Sadly this sport makes problems. Many people don’t like it. It disturbs and makes nervous them. When boys is jumping they can damage or destroy something. They can do themselves harm, for example break leg or hand, turn cube, hurt a little or in the worst case die. They risk at their own responsibility. I think this sport is interesting, because it is rare and people usually willingly look on athletes. The teenagers can show their skills and talents.

I think, parkour isn’t a sport, it’s style of life. I like watching video of this sports, because it’s very exciting and dangerous. It’s sport for people who like adrenalin and feel exiting. This sport isn’t for me, because I'm not as athletic. These people are very strong and brave, smart and resourceful. Parkour was created to move in a faster way in city centers. It consists of jumping over the roofs of buildings and the finding of the reach not avabile of normal people moving. The best thing is that it is a spectacular sport which can be practiced only a few people . People of parkour above all teenagers brought up in cities. Of course there are also problems with that, because you can destroy something to someone and will break or kill yourself. This is a very cool and interesting way to spend free time, but please remember that may have bad consequences.

I think parkour is very interesting and very fast. I like in parkour fast but I don’t like places where this sport is practice, because jump on the wall buildings is danger and sometimes it’s problem for people who live in this buildings. If you like jump on roofs , walls and windows it’s something for you. People on film can jump over walls and over alleys, they can climb on steep wall . I think it isn't sport for me. This sport is for very fast, strong people. I can't do this sports because I can't jump over 1,5 meters. I think it's good because you can run faster than other people and you never late on the bus or train. Problem in parkour is danger fall from a top of building or if you don’t hold rail on time. The next problem are places where you do parkour, in this place must be windowsills and other points where you can stand or hold. It's interesting, because If you can do this you can relax and do something for show but difficult because you must be strong and quick. People on the streets will be interest this sport but some people will think it is too danger and they want to ban this sport.

Parkour is a very spectacular sport. It draws attention other people, who like watching it.
What I like about parkour is their good system of movement around the city because they are faster than other people and they don’t pay attention to buildings, on the contrary they can use them as sidewalks.
But there are some things which I dislike in this activity. I don’t like when the people who do it destroy monuments or other buildings. I also dislike it when the people who do it are simply reckless and they risk their health and life.
Parkour is a kind of sport so parkourers must be athletic and can develop their sport skills. They can change the image of the city and it is nice to watch them.
There are a lot of problems with parkour. Firstly, the people who do parkour don’t have special places to do it. They do it on the city buildings which aren’t prepared for it. Secondly the people don’t take any security measures, which can be very dangerous for them.
For some people it can be interesting and for other people it is not. For me it is exciting and can be good way of spending free time.
It seems to me, however, that it isn’t a sport for me, because it is too dangerous. I only like watching others do it.

Parkour is technique of movements past and efficiency in moving over around obstacles. Many people perished when they jumped over obstacles. I like parkour becouse people can move very fast. This sport is very interesting. I don't like parkour becouse this sport isn't for everyone and it is dangerous.This sport isn't for me becousesomeone who do this sport have to be very athletic. I'm not deft and fast enough. Many people are afraid this sport. Children often trying parkour without special preparation. People who do this sport has lots of injuries. It's easy to broke leg or hand, when you are jumping. When you are injuried, you can't train and have to stay at home. It's important to be careful and have protectors when you are doing this sport.

I think that it is very interesting sport. This sport gives a sense of freedom. For people who practice this sport, there is no gravity. I like to watch how people overcome any barriers. It is so exciting.This sport is very popular in young peopel and produces an increasing interest It makes them much joy and lets get away from everyday life. They train everywhere on the walls, roofs, streets... They train also at any time of day on the way to school, shop, home ... This sport is also very difficult. You have to be athletic. I also would like to try sometime, but I fear a little because it is dangerous. Also the sport is grown at high altitudes, and I have a fear of heights. But I like to watch movies on the internet about parkour.I can also watch live parkour, because my colleagues are training him.

Parkour is a French method of movement focused on moving around obstacles with speed and efficiency. In my opinion, parkour is very exciting and dangerous sport. I like watch people how they overcome own barriers. These people are really talented. They can do something what someone else can’t do. These people must be in perfect condition. Good shape in this sport, provides nice effects in daily life. This sport requires very much so this isn’t for me. Parkour teaches discipline and control of yourself, but there is also big risk. It is very easy to get a multiple contusions for example fall, rawness, breakage, fracture and sometimes death. Normal people think that parkour is too dangerous, because they risk life in every trick. I think that Parkour give feeling of freedom. I recommend this sport to people that want to feel something new in life.

Parkour is pretty exciting sport. It's very cool, but dangerous.It's for sure a big source of adrenaline. In parkour, I like the way of them moving, like an animal.This sport is OK, but I don't really like it. I think they are too confident to doing this without any security. They are for sure experienced, but anyway they can broke something or lose health.
It could be sport for me, because I like to feel some adrenaline, but I don't feel able to climbing by my hands on buildings sooner or later.
What is good about it? You are jumping on the roofs and feel free, and girls paying attention on you.
I think there isn't any problem with parkour. It can be doing anywhere, but some people don't like parkour, especially when you are jumping on their roofs.Then you can run easily, so no problem!
I think it's quite interesting sport, because it's something new and spectacular.

I think the parcour is fantastic and very spectacular sport. I very like see parcour tricks and this people when the do it, but I don't know why they do it. This sport is very dangerous and they risk their life. Maby they love jumping and running in town but the risk in me opinion is too much. We must know that in this film appearance profesionalist. For beginners this sport is very hard to lern and their jumps aren't looking the same that jumps in this film. The parents in me opinion don't like when the children do parcour because they feel pain and fear. I think they have arguments for this opinions. If I would be father I dissuade this sport my children and I propose swiming because this sport is very good for body. For me parcour is stupid sport and i can't do it. If you like risk your life you can try this sport.

Parkour is a very dangerous type of sport, but it's really exciting to watch it. It's a very dynamic sport and it’s pretty cool to see people doing stuff like this. They sometimes jump between buildings and it seems they’ve just fallen, but they’re running farther like in an action film. Parkour probably highly speeds up and diversify getting around the city.I think that people who cultivate parkour may have a problem with city guard, because they can be accused of devastation of public property. Unfortunately I think I'm not able to train this kind of sport, cause I'm too weak and not brave enough. My acrophobia also prevent me cultivate parkour. I prefer to deal with music, it’s much safer. Without any doubts parkour is very interesting and I like it, even though I hate sports.

I think, that parkor is quite awesome sport. People, who doing this are crazy.
I like watching, how easy and fast they are moving on many buildings.But there are things,
that I don't like. It is dangerous, you can easy broke something,lose your health or even
die.
All this is quite spectacular and cool. Unfortunatley, it is rather not sport for me.
I am too lazy and this sport request extrimly good condition and health, so you must train
long and hard.I don't have friends,with who I can do this sport, too.
Parkour is very useful, for example when you when you want to get somewhere, normal
difficult to get, or when you are running to the bas stop.
There are some problems with parkour. There are no special places to do this sport, and
when are you doing it in the city, many poeople don't like this.

In my opinion parkour isn't sport, but it is rather kind of hobby or even the type of subculture. Parkour is very interesting and extreme. In parkour effective are jumps on heights and fast operation.It is amazing how people can move fast and it looks like it is not very difficult for them. I like to watch people, who do parkour because it is very exciting.This activity isn't for me because it is unduly extreme, I am not physically active person and I don't like this way of expressing myself. Is parkour dangerous? Yes and no. Parkour is dangerous first
of all for third people and for people, which do parkour amateurishly.I think that people have to practise for a long time to do it in the proper and safe way and do not hurt themself or other. People, who do parkour are fit and
they practise for a lot of years.If you do parkour you must reckon with a lot of bruises, ambrasions, fractures and even accidents. Parkour delivers large dose of adrenaline and emotions. It is very unsual activity.

I think that Parkour is an amazing sport. The jumps, which I saw, were wonderful. It's unbelievable experience when you see somebody jumping from one roof onto another and doing it without any trouble. Somebody can think that the followers of parkour are criminals, because they run through the city. Probably some of them train it because of that, but I hope the most just like adrenaline. Parkour is the best way to run across the city, sometimes even better than car. The people, which practice this sport are really brave and strong. It probably isn’t a right sport for me, because there are too many injuries and too many broken legs. You can find plenty of movies in the Internet, for example on Youtube, showing failed jump videos: broken legs, breakages, hit walls or sprained arms. Parkour is exciting sport, but I am only able to admire it.

Parkour looks impressive but this is very dangerous sport. I think it's not for me. This sport can express people, free their body. I like it and if can I have better physical condition I'll try. I don't like about parkour that it's make broken your hands or legs. I mean sitting month in plaster isn't cool. If someone practises this right, such things doesn't happen. But it takes a lot of time on training to this sport look like on this video. Parkour can be practiced anywhere and this can be annoying for some people that practises it in public places. Personally, it doesn't disturb me. Opposite - i like to watch it. I wouldn't like to practise this sport because I'm afraid to damages.

I like parkour because,it is a very exciting sport. I think those guys are brilniant. They are athletic and brave. I cloudn't do it because fear and I'am weight too much. This sport can make you more athletic, you can be good robber and you are faster when you run. In this sport you can die or make yourself hurt. I saw once when one guy fall from 10th floor. Thath was very dramatic. In general this sport in dangerous. It is a interesing sport. Guys who do it make unbelievable things. On this short movie, They showed fantastic skills. I like watch those movies. Sometime, I can't believe in some exploit. They jump so far, so high, so softly just like in matrix. I wish have skills like those guys.
