That wasn't an excuse. That was me admitting I'm
not really that great. Parkour and Freerunning are two different things.
Parkour is simply getting from Point A to Point B, in as straight a line as possible, including vaulting obstacles, climbing, and all that jazz. The point is to be as efficient as you can; you don't waste energy doing flips and whatnot.
Freerunning
can be getting from point A to Point B, but it's mostly doing flips and running on walls in public, because hey look at me look at me I'm so cool guys. Most of them amount to those kids that go to public parks and repeatedly fail at tricks on their skateboards; it's not really about learning/doing something useful, it's more about getting attention.
EDIT: Although, I can see why people can hate both of them; a lot of people think it's some badass skill that makes them some elite urban ninja. We just thought it looked fun, and it is to us.
Go soak your head.
