In a pistol duel, you would start back to back and walk forward ten paces. The referee of the duel would count these paces and on the tenth pace you would turn and fire. You could of course turn and fire earlier, but you would not be counted as the victor, just a coward, and it is likely that others would shoot you down for such an act; unlike these days where you probably be applauded for ingenuity.

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

People actually duel each other in parkour?




Yeah.

Whoa, thanks that clears things up. Also can you do back-flips because it seems like it's a minimum requirement to do back-flips in parkour.

Flips are unnecessary. I am good at vaults, climbing, grip, and running up walls, and getting onto of buildings. The rest of the squad can't do flips. I can I am just too scared to. Last time I did I broke my toe.
Those guys make it look easy, we tried doing alot of their stuff, and we couldn't even commit their easiest stunts in a gymnastics room. Expect me, I went full out and could do a wall run lol.


How do you win in a parkour duel?


Yeh, is it like a BreakDance comp? based upon "one-upping" eachother until someone can not respond with a feat of greater skill?

TBH, I believe being "least-tired" at the end would simply come down to stamina, not skill. Hardly a judging attribute.
