Every traceur understands that parkour is a process and a mindset, not a list of movements you can memorize and check off. An athlete who just goes out and masters ten or fifteen different techniques from Youtube videos isn’t really one of us, we say. Yet even as we say it, it’s hard to stop that list from rattling around inside our own heads. We all know it … it goes something like:
• PK roll (roulade) • Precision (saut de precision) • Catpass (saut de chat) a.k.a. kong • Gap jump (saut de détente) • Speed vault (passment rapide) • Drop (saut de fond) • Wall run (passe muraille) • Underbar (franchissment) • Arm jump (saut de bras) a.k.a. catleap• Tic Tac
… and the more level-headed of us don’t forget to include running at the top. But whether level-headed, borderline, or just plain PK-crazy, nobody seems to be including a little technique that a few young traceurs in Cambridge like to call “the stride.”
