Uploaded a video of the "Bounce" trick. (link) Added a list of images with links to all Parkour Dictionary videos.

Added an entry about the trick "Bounce", already working on the video.
-
The language of the last channel in "other languages" isn't mentioned

I was saying that you - TFP - have a skilled spec :)
-
You have a skilled spec ^_^ Not everyone can make things look so good in spec mode! Great job! :P
-
is now a leader too! o: good luck! ^_^

well, my main parkour combo is Wasp M1 with fully upgraded speed, health, power so it's like M2 but with weight of M1, and thunder M2 with fully upgraded impact force. So I guess you can call it M2/M3 parkour. TFP have some M0 parkour tutorials.

I'll wait for the video, make sure to show your nickname in the video (if you pressed TAB later, or include the top bar)

Could be counted if you showed how you do it, also a screenshot is not a sufficient proof to that you were actually balanced on this palm tree because you could take a screenshot while moving. Can you record a video? You have a YouTube channel so I assume you recorded it for a parkour video, if not it kinda sucks for you because you'll have to do it again... EDIT: It's ok that you use another player to speed it up as long as you show step by step how you do the whole thing with only 1 player helping you. Include in the video the mine jump where you and your friend get to the position from where you jumped, without the help of other players. Then you can use another player to help you get up there faster.

I agree with you. When I still had smoky M1 but my rank was too high for it to be a really effective weapon even though it was fully upgraded, I chose rico to be my secondary weapon for battles because it's a short-medium range weapon like smoky and it works not too bad with my swift playing style, and also one of the reasons was that it has a bouncing effect that I rarely see anybody use it, rico was powerful without using the bouncing effect, and I thought it would be so much better when using this effect correctly. So I bought rico M2 and just scanned all the most popular maps for spots where rico's bouncing effect would be great. This weapon turned out to be a great fighting weapon and I was doing pretty good in battles with wasp-rico. Then I bought Smoky M2 and upgraded it and stopped playing with rico, but I still remember some of the good strategies I used with rico. I could make a decent video about it I think, but as for now I focus on parkour and I prefer to not upload a random video about fighting between all my parkour videos. Though I will make this video later, because I am going to make Parkour Fighting guides, and then I will upload videos of how to use the weapons that are good in Parkour Fighting so players will have an example of how to use them more effectively in the battle and not only to get on a good position in a battle with this equipment. Interesting idea, but I don't think it will turn out too good for a few reasons, the main reason is that there are too many things to list there, especially if it is with regard to every combination separately. Such video will be at least 30 minutes and will be a pain to make. I really want to improve the graphics, but this has a huge impact on my FPS so I have to stay on low graphics. A while ago I checked all the settings combinations to see how to make it look the best and staying with good FPS while recording, and I found out that with only Dynamic shadows and Mip-mapping the game looks pretty good and the FPS is still good while recording. So my next videos will look better :D (except for when I will use footage that was recorded before I changed my settings)

what kate said is one of a few reasons, kate seems to be nice enough to spend time with beginner parkourists to help them, but far not all players are so nice. Others just don't have time for it, many players don't spend too much time in tanki. Some people find it annoying to play with someone that is too far from their level of skill. And this is true about me, and maybe about a few other players: I do want to help players to improve their level of skill, but as I set it to one of my main goals I prefer doing it in a way that will help lots of players together, not one by one by playing with them. Instead I upload videos to teach players parkour, and from what I can see it helps a lot more than what I managed to do when I was playing with players that wanted me to teach them parkour. Spending the same time to help a lot more players through videos is a better option for me. EDIT: anyawy, if you really want to get better all you have to do is try out some of your parkour ideas with your friends, and maybe play with those who are just a bit better than you so you will progress slowly but surely. Also watching parkour videos may help, but it depends on your ability to learn from watching others.

I'm working on a viking parkour video, this will prove you that viking is great for parkour! :P
-
So you used the help of 2 players here.

Our fresh new website! I created a website for Fight & Flight, the reason for that is explained in the news page of the site. Here's the link: http://fight-and-flight.site90.net

Renamed "Back Fire Jump" to "Shaft Jump" - after all this is the best way to call it even though it is possible with other turrets too.
-
The huge impact of the recent changes (hulls and turrets parameters, new physics, instant acceleration detection) on parkour. :'(
-
Not only that, they made wasp fatter, and even worse - THEY CHANGED THE PHYSICS !! They ruined so much stuff in parkour... Wasp weights almost like hornet now, and it became impossible to climb round cliffs with my equipment (still possible with thunder M4 though), they made it much harder to do wheelie - so hard that I can rotate only up to 50 degrees with wasp M0 thunder M4 on a flat place! And they made the awesome Leap trick possible only next to ramps! :'( They ruined so many things... so sad... The new physics might make a few new tricks possible, but right now I didn't discover anything that was worth the loss of all the goodies I mentioned above + potentially more things that I didn't check yet...

I designed a logo for our club! :D

I'd say a new parkour trick is worth soooooo much more than 5K, but I don't believe even 5K will be given to those who came up with original parkour tricks because 1. those who decide whether to give the crystals or not, don't understand in parkour enough to value it. and 2. It is so hard to prove that you came up with an original trick. I came up with a few parkour tricks and players that saw I was the first to upload the video, before tons of other players that started uploading videos about the same tricks. Many people also kept saying "some russian did it first", and guess what - it was just because they are used to see new stuff coming from the russian community, so much that they can't believe someone from the EN community did it. When I asked them if they saw someone from the RU community doing it before me they said they didn't but they are sure that russians did it first. So yeah... I don't think this is going to happen. I also don't expect anything good from the game managers when it comes to parkour...

Methods in parkour - I guess that means favorite parkour style, and it is OMP of course ^_^ What inspired me to parkour? I like the story of how I started doing parkour: A few years ago when I first played this game, I was fighting in a sandbox battle. After a few minutes I had a long lag, players started driving in circles and one player was driving straight forward and pushing himself against the cliff next to me. So basically he made a ramp to the border of the map, I instantly decided to use it to get up there, and then I went around the map to behind the enemy base. When the lag was over I started shooting the enemies from behind their base and they weren't noticing me. This gave me the inspiration to do parkour and the motivation to research a bit for advantageous positions that are reachable only with parkour. So basically I became a parkourist and a Parkour Fighter from my very first battle in Tanki Online! :D B) My experience in parkour - I play tanki for many years and I was gaining a lot of experience in parkour but when physics changed it was like a re-start for parkour, we were given new amazing abilities but in the cost of having to learn it all almost from 0. Then I was progressing slowly because I wasn't very active at the time, but as you can probably see now, I reached a good level of skill eventually. What is interesting in parkour - I love just getting on places in new creative ways, the ability to reach many places in this game alone is also great, and my favorite fighting style since I joined this game is Parkour Fighting which also works great with OMP. I also love trying to come up with new tricks, showing it off and seeing how the whole 3 tanki communities (EN, RU, DE) start using these tricks. Back when I wasn't famous I was enjoying parkour just for the ability to reach places that are unreachable without parkour, but now I will not enjoy reaching high places unless I do it in a cool and creative way. Creativity is what makes parkour so fun for me. :)

I think it can't because there's nothing to beat here. Same thing happened in one of the rank up parties I was in btw :P
-
From what I see on your channel, you didn't upload parkour videos for about half a year. Looks like you don't do a lot of parkour. If you want to join us you have to be an active parkourist. You can upload some parkour videos to show us your skill, then we might invite you to our applicants group to play with us and test you for real.

I would prefer to make a 40 tanks lineup just to delete this record xD But yeah... not gonna waste my time on getting 40 players for it.
