I don't have any (lol) but we do have some crazy parkour players at our school and everyone has stories of them busting crazy moves and getting kills.
Sooooooooooooooooooooo, I wondered....does anyone have any good stories of a parkour zombie getting wicked kills? I figured it would be an interesting read :3
(Parkour/free running is a form of urban focused movement that employs vaults jumps etc to move through obstacles quickly and efficiently.......aka a good parkour/free runner can make a beast of a zombie)

Haha welllllll Parkour is banned from our game for safety reasons, but that being said I have heard a story of a guy who wall ran around a couple Zs when he was cornered in an alley type thing, shot them both while in mid flight, and then escaped.

We have a few parkour HVZers here... not so much epic zombie moves, but a HARDCORE PARKOUR SOCK NINJA and another parkour dude who dual wields modded cades. Our scary zeds tend to be just scary zeds... one who is known mostly for zedding and routinely scores 20+ kills on Day 1, and another who is known as a fast, sneaky, undodgable, uncatchable human AND a very dangerous zombie if killed.

...Parkour is banned from our game...
Wait, lemme get this straight: your outdoor game of tag banned running? Our campus doesn't have the correct landscape for parkour. Everything here is pretty much flat. I wish I had some stories though.

Not running by any means. But intentionally running on narrow railings, wall running, the more advanced parkour skills stuff that only someone who was really good at parkour could accomplish safely. Its more for dependability for the mods IMO though. They say we cant do it, and we don't do it in front of them, and they can tell the administrators that we have a nice safe game.

I just registered and am incredibly psyched for my first game, whenever that will be. I have already started no-lifing my homework, as to free up time to buy my planned arsenal, make holsters, and whatnot. I think I am already brainwashed to the awesomeness of HVZ in that I see the rather tall (variable on location, 4-12 ft., I can safely do maybe 8-10) ledge near my dorm and plan to vault over it to slow down/intimidate the zombies. I see all of our fountains, which are empty here in Texas, and all of the walls I can climb and already see myself using my parkour skills to distance myself from the zombies. From the great city of Houston, I have practiced parkour in downtown parks and can wallclimb 10ft. quickly on a good day, and am a natural sprinter with the stubbornness to never give in to pain. Sorry about this, saw 'parkour' and had to post SOMETHING. They're never gonna catch me.

As one of the last 10 humans in the last hour of our day long game, I got chased by zombies up to the second story of our student center and made a successful jump and roll to get down to the grass near the parking lot on the opposite side of the building. I just tossed my backpack over the edge beforehand. Don't know if that counts.

Nothing too substantial; wish I could parkour.
I did evade 3 of my friends in our first year of playing. We had all been trying to keep together as a squad and, low and behold suddenly I was the only one of us who wasn't a zed. Well when I breached the hill between our dorm building and the dining hall I was heading two I spotted all of them down below me in front of the hall, not really doing anything. Unfortunately they saw me as well.
I bolted towards the north, running along the top of the hill hoping to reach the other entrance to the dining hall (and safety). Zed 1 sprinted along parallel to me as I began descending the hill at an angle. As he got near each other (and thus near the doorway) I tagged him with a sock and kept going, turning toward the double doors.
That's when Zed 2 popped out of those doors, having run through the BUILDING to cut me off. I fired a sock at him which he dodged left, allowing me to jerk to MY left and bullrush through the doors. Zed 3 I believe had stayed back at the other door in order to ensure I wouldn't head that way.
Another time I took a horrible chance while chasing down some humans; they were heading for a sidewalk which extends off campus (where play is momentarily suspended). I had a choice; either follow them around the tall hedges OR run straight between the hedges and a building and try to shave some time off my run to get to them in time.
I chose the latter.
Ran full bore at the EXTREMELY thin space, threw my arms up as a sort of shield, and jumped. Fortunately there WASN'T anything behind the bush, so I was able to lurch out of the bushes unscathed and freaked out a couple freshman who weren't expecting the attack. Got one before her friends stunned me.
