I'm a gymnast too.
Parkour kids always come into my gym and I HATE them with a passion. It's because they don't have any courtesy and don't know the rules of the gym. They love doing flips in the pit and just jump in without even thinking or without looking while I'm on the bars over the pit. I have hit and landed on a few and I don't feel sorry at all. It's dangerous too because if I am in the middle of a giant and I kick you I lose my momentum and peel off the bar then I get hurt. You take turns in the pit even if it looks like there is room for two people to go at the same time there isn't, and they don't know me and don't know where I fall. And they come too close to me when I'm doing stuff all the time. I need space at the gym and they don't understand that and it messes me up when I'm on the beam and they just walk by right arms length away in the middle of my routine. 1st it's dangerous because I might mess up and fall on you or kick you, 2nd I'm concentrating and when I see you out of the corner of my eye it psychs me out because I don't want to hit you and I was concentrating. Also most of them don't know how to properly use our equipment and put the good mats in the pit or fold them wrong, thanks now you just ruined a good mat because its bent. Assholes. And they are loud and I like a quiet gym.
