William Spencer showing off some fairly unusual skateboard tricks.

lol i don't understand you guys. Skating is *exactly* like parkour: the only difference is you use a tool.

OF COURSE the skills differ completely, but the concept is the same.

let's say skating is like parkour as car racing is like motorcycle racing: the same thing, different tools.

I practice both, but they're not really comparable. Skateboarding is more comparable to free running because of the flashy, unnecessary movements, but the movements are soo different, I don't see the comparison at all.

What I can say, however, is that what you learn while skateboarding and what you learn while tracing fill in some gaps one for the other. However, I think rockclimbing and bouldering has more transferable skills to parkour.

This is my experience, though; maybe someone's experience is the different. If anyones is, what body movements in skateboarding do you feel are similar to parkour that the two would be comparable?
