Parkour is an art of movement, such as doing a backflip off a 30 foot elevation and surviving.

Re: Le Parkour - 30 foot drop.
there are no backflips in parkour...reasons:
1) Parkour consists of moving from A to B as fast as possible and by flipping, you are using some of your momentum to carry yourself in a flip as opposed to using it for straight forward movement.
2) there should be no rotation in parkour, that includes 360, 180, 270...unless completely nessecary like Cat-Jumping from one wall to another that is behind you or to the side of you with something disabling your ability to cat jump 90 degrees.
3) flips are Free-Running...totally different concept...kind of like Racing and Trick Racing...you'll get the analogy, and if you don't then you're dumb
