Parkour and Tricking
Parkour
Parkour utilizes different types of athletic movement, such as running, jumping, climbing, and rolling to navigate obstacles in the quickest and most efficient way possible.
Tricking
Tricking combines martial arts and gymnastics in a series of kicks, flips, and twists! It also incorporates some moves and styles from breakdancing. The goal is to display different combinations of tricks that make up a smooth, visually awesome pass. *Requirement: Must have a round off
