Answer 1

I can sympathize with your disinclination to work in an office, but what does this question have to do with hunting or firearms?

Doc

Answer 2

No not really, maybe someday if it really takes off. But who says you have to sit in a cubicle all day, there are plenty of jobs that aren't cubicle if you are fit enough for parkour i'm sure you could be a personal trainer or physical therapist, you could help people and not have a cubicle job.  But i would say keep training because one day it may make it big

Answer 3

Somehow your question was posted in the hunting section.  You will get more and better answers if you move it to a more appropriate section.

Answer 4

stuntman would be much more likely than the nba

edit: and i 100% agree about the cubicle thing

oh, and just fyi, david belle and the other parkour founders all consider parkour, free running, l'art du deplacement, and the art of movement to be synonymous. there is not more than one discipline

Answer 5

Parkour : no, by definition.

Freerunning : possibly. I know a lot of freerunners disapprove of those trying to profit from freerunning, but there are chances. If you are really good at it and get your name out, you could do commercial work as the media troll has found freerunning to attract attention. Stunt-work takes far more training than simply freerunning.

You won't get a career related to PK/FR unless you REALLY work at it or do some entrepreneurship which still requires a lot of work. You may be better off looking for a better job. There are lots out there that don't require desks. (ie I work at a rock climbing centre which I think is one of the best jobs I could ever find).
