ingredients:
pivot
flex
extend
A pivoting moment (Sergei Bubka) is able to pivot towards two limits flexion and extension. When a pivot is either flexed or extended it can take on a level of healthy or unhealthy fitness. In flexion, the unit becomes more built, while the unhealthy fitness would be more analogous to 5-time Mr. Universe, Eddi Ellwood, compared to the healthy fitness of Randy Barnes, world record holder in the shot-put. In Extension, the unit becomes more toned, while an unhealthy fitness would be that of anorexic Olympic hurdler, Colin Jackson, while healthy fitness would be that of Parkour founder, Sebastien Foucan.

The basis unit is formed through an input of pivot level, which will derive a flexed unit or an extended unit. One can think of the pivoting level on a 1 to 10 scale, 1 being completely extended, and 10 being completely flexed. Different sections of the basis unit can metastasize into a thicker materiality, i.e. museum board or foam core, depending on the fit level of the flex or extend. Over the field there will be some imperfections. A vacancy occurs when units come together, but fail to bind, and only bind with the units surrounding the individual units. Because of the lattice structure, the field does not fall apart due to a vacancy. Interstitials throughout the site are areas of higher intensity‚ this usually occurs in the flexion units through the transition from a flexion to an extension, some units however occupy interstitials without such a high intensity. Edge dislocations happen in the lattice when a unit terminates, and the next unit must wrap around to compensate for the edge dislocation, this leads to a distortion in the system, if the unit is in flexion or extension the intensity of the distortion will be different.

Colin Jackson - the former hurdler, has admitted that, at the peak of his track career, he was secretly starving himself leading up to the 1993 world championships, where he smashed the world record for the 110 metre hurdles to take the gold medal. At the time Jackson was surviving on just several hundred calories a day.
Sebastien Foucan Founder of Parkour.
Parkour is said to be l'art du displacement, or the art of moving (from A to B), consisting of uninterrupted forward motion over, under, around and through obstacles (both man-made and natural) in one's environment.
