Parkour, also known as freerunning, is a physical discipline which focuses on efficient movement around obstacles.

The goal of freerunning is about asthetics and freedom in movement. That's very different from utility and efficiency.
I'm not saying they're mutually exclusive, but they are distinct.
And parkour practitioners are known as "traceurs", not "trickers." It's a French word. I have no idea what it means.
But great video! Parkour is a lot of fun and is a way to release that inner child that likes to climb and jump and explore. It's gotten me into some amazing places!
