My initial thought was that this would be a sport involving people with large pompadours doing Parkour. That would have been awesome, but the reality is even better.
Pomparkour is similar to Parkour, but with the addition of aluminum ladders. This allows the runners to move vertically in places that would be impossible using just hands and feet. If nothing else, perhaps they would also make talented painters and fire fighters?

As entertaining as this is to watch, Pomparkour simply doesn’t hit the spot that good old fashioned Parkour does for me. Parkour is a discipline thats key tenet is using the human body to its full potential without the use of extra equipment, and Pomparkour certainly doesn’t fit the bill in that regard. No, instead I would say it’s more akin to skateboarding, or really any other sport in existance that requires extra equipment, which is basically all of them.
I’ll be interested to see what other Parkour hybrids pop up in the coming years. Perhaps we’ll see people using pogo-sticks on top of buildings, or stilts, which would be very silly.
