I just watched a segment on ESPN about Parkour. It is an amazing activity. There was a debate on the program as to whether parkour is a sport or a discipline. What do you think?

Can't it be both since if you could show it to those who also parkour and judge the ability and creativity of the practitioner, they can develop it as a sport where people could compete.
It can all be a discipline as well since Parkour can not only be applied to just the parkour activity itself but to other activities that need transition from one place to another.
I wouldn't mind being able to parkour while skateboarding since there are just some ledges and obstacles that are not easily accessible unless wall and fences are traversed ^_^ Now you can call it a "run" when you do skate in totally urban areas ^_^

I like your thinking on the question. I wonder if it might not play out the way you perceive it over the course of time.
