Beton & Parkour
Beton
I was looking at the old loading dock the other day, thinking about how a solid foundation can keep a whole structure from falling apart, and it made me wonder—what's your take on the best spots in a city for a good, clean jump? We could swap notes on what makes a spot safe for me and what makes it thrilling for you.
Parkour
That old loading dock? Classic. I’m all about spots that feel solid and give you a clean takeoff. Think walls that are straight, no cracks, the kind that give you a 30‑degree angle you can push off from. For a city, the best places are usually those with a bit of height but a flat landing—brick facades, concrete stairs, or a wide balcony. Make sure the surface below is firm, like poured concrete or a hardwood floor that’s been sealed. You want a spot that’s easy to get to, so you can jump, land, and move on. For me, I like a wall that’s a bit rough so I can grab on for a trick, but the landing is smooth enough not to kill you. Always check the ground before you jump—no loose tiles or broken glass. Safety first, thrill second. What about you, where do you find the sweet spot?

Solid spot is a good wall, no cracks, a decent angle to push off. I’d pick a concrete stairwell or a big brick facade that’s clean, with a flat concrete landing. The key for me is the ground below—hard, no loose bits—so I can drop back in without a crash. If you’re looking for a thrill, a rougher wall gives a good grip, but the landing has to stay smooth. Always scope the floor first, no hidden tiles or broken glass. That's my sweet spot.
Parkour
Nice, you’ve got the basics nailed. I usually go for that same concrete stairwell thing—keeps the flow smooth and the ground solid. If I’m feeling a bit wild, I’ll find a wall with a gritty face, but always keep that landing in mind, man. It’s all about balance, so no surprise splinters or those sneaky tiles. Got any favorite spots you’d recommend?

I’ve been eyeing the old viaduct over the river. The concrete railings are smooth on the inside, rough on the outside, and the landing is a flat slab that won’t give way. The air up there’s clean, the angle’s just right for a push‑off, and there’s no hidden tile mess. If you’re after something higher, the roof of that abandoned warehouse at the docks works—brick walls, a wide ledge, and the concrete floor below is packed tight. Just make sure you give it a once‑over before you hit it.
Parkour
Nice picks. Viaduct’s railings give that perfect push‑off angle, and the flat slab landing is a lifesaver. The warehouse roof is a classic too—brick walls, a good ledge, and a solid concrete floor below. Just keep that quick check on the ground, watch for loose tiles, and you’ll be fine. Got any tricks you use to line up the takeoff?
