Thats exactly right, its a common misconception when they say they are doing parkour and people just think 'what a pointless thing to do' but its quite handy even though i don't train anymore. By the way, Captain Scarlet, from personal experience, i'd say learn a backflip first. They are the easiest to do by far, all it takes is confidence and a decent take off. I'm talking on flat here, off a wall is slightly more dangerous. Wallflips are a pain and can go wrong easily. Adam.
