My main concerns are that people will start to corrupt the sport with money and that the youth will only try to out perform eachother. Unfortunately, this has happened to almost every other sport. What if parkour becomes only a means to impress and becomes purely physical and monetary? It would be a sad day indeed if this were to happen. I’m a little nervous about how parkour develops.

I agree with your prediction that PK will someday be mainstream, perhaps in the same way that formerly "extreme" sports like skateboarding and bmx are commonplace today. I think the health of the spirit of PK will depend on the strength of the communities. Attracting and developing good people, leadership by example, and making the principles of PK an essential component of the community, will create a foundation which will be able to resist the inevitable misrepresentations.

I'm excited to see how this grows, and being a part of the community out here has given some real stability to my life. Thank you for the insight and links, Tyson.
