Why Walk When You Can Run and Roll?

One thing that makes parkour different types of athletic activities is the fact that it is strictly non-competitive. Parkour participantsbelieve that turning the activity into a sport with competitors would take away from its original philosophy. The focus of parkour is developing an individual's mental and physical toughness to be ready to face any challenge. In fact, there was a website that led a campaign in 2007 to fight against attempts to make it a competitive sport.
Rather than holding competitions tosee who is the best, parkour enthusiastsget together and practice various moves toimprove their skills. It is not only men whodo parkour, as more and more women aregetting involved as well.
跑酷與眾不同於其他運動的一點在於跑酷完全不具競爭性。跑酷玩家相信將跑酷變成和對手競爭的運動會失去其原本的原則。跑酷的重點是鍛鍊個人身心的強健，隨時迎接任何挑戰。事實上， 2007 年有個網站發起一項活動，反對一些有心人企圖使跑酷變成競爭性的運動。
熱衷於跑酷的玩家並不競相看誰最厲在一起練習各種動作以改善他們的技巧。不是只有男性會玩跑有越來越多的女性也參與跑酷。
