Nice - A great addition would be adding the links to the corresponding contests. :)

Thought about it when I was making it, but for an unknown reason, I didn't add it. Will do it as soon as possible :D

I think SwiftSmoky deserves to get into this. He's the one who invented OMP (correct me if I'm wrong). The man that the physics engine forgot. ;)

@SwiftSmoky is not the one who invited OMP. OMP was just something ordinary parkourers or battle players made while trying to conquer structures alone. In time, the art of getting on buildings and structures alone was passed down from tanker to tanker and even to @SwiftSmoky. He, however, did invent (or publish) the Parkour Dictionary. It helped loads of players in parkour. So, he should be called the man who helped thousands parkour, instead of the man who invented OMP.

We don't know that for sure. If the art of OMP (One Man Parkour) was passed down from player to player, who was the first player?

OMP existed and was known to the public very long ago. You can see for example an old video by TFP where they included a few simple OMP tricks. The OMP tricks in this video were pretty much the very top OMP tricks back then. What I did for OMP is inventing tricks and making these tricks known, and made the whole OMP parkour style popular.

 

So no, I didn't invent OMP. But the OMP tricks everyone use nowadays to make impressive OMP montages? Yes, I invented most of them.

Also I found a whole lot of places to use them, which also makes me the first player to reach a lot of places that were previously thought to be unreachable by a single player.

 

Speaking of passing things from player to player, I've been around since the 1st year Tanki existed, and OMP existed so early in the game... when it was possible to climb cliffs with rico and mammy. Almost everyone knew how to do it so OMP never passed on to just a few players. It just wasn't so popular and advanced until 2 years ago (or less, I don't remember exactly)

 

 

I know I'm VERY not modest here, but yes I think I deserve a place in the parkour hall of fame for my big contribution to parkour. After all, people call me a parkour legend for a reason :)

Then we should also add @williew and @jiangreo as starters of EN parkour guides, Les Alterman for starting RU parkour guides, and @peraz for starting DE guides? Sorry, but that will not happen, we will stay with competition achievements only.
