Sub culture
A culture that is hidden, differentiates from the larger culture that they are from
Ian Borden
Skaters are redefine the way a city is portrayed, eg using a saftey mechanism such as a hand rail to use as a prop. A resistance to urbanization, shopping, advertisements
An example of how this is being resisted is the closer of the south bank closure skate park, which wasn't actually a skate park to begin with but what it is now known for.

Parkour
Parkour is a holistic training discipline, created in France, which uses mental training and movement that developed from obstacle course training. Practitioners aim to quickly and efficiently overcome obstacles in their environment, using only their bodies and their surroundings to propel themselves; furthermore, they try to maintain as much momentum as is possible in a safe manner. Parkour can include running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, rolling, crawling and the like.
Parkour is non-competitive. It may be performed on an obstacle course, but is usually practiced in a creative, and sometimes playful, reinterpretation or subversion of urban spaces.Parkour involves seeing one's environment in a new way, and imagining the possibilities for movement around it
Free running
Freerunning (or free running) is defined as the art of expressing oneself in his or her environment without limitation. It is a discipline founded by Sebastien Foucan and aims to incorporate everything that is useful. It started in 2003 and was developed as a more inclusive form of the discipline of Parkour.
