I've been an avid player of the parkour community for about three and a half years now. The most innovative thing that's been added in that timeframe is likely champion maps being added, and we haven't had a new one in a year and a half. In this forum post I will compile everything that I can think of to make parkour amazing. Some will be QOL updates, and some will be hard tasks. Overall I believe that investing time into parkour is very worthwhile. Yes, I am anticipating a summer update with some new stuff and I'm also aware that a lot of these ideas have been suggested before. This is my parkour "wish-list" i guess you could call it. I will also categorize these based on how feasible they are to implement/fix.
1) FIX THE LEADERBOARDS
The leaderboards have been broken for a VERY LONG time. It would be worthwhile to fix it just for a sense of normality.
2) FIX SPAWN PARKOUR
Spawn Parkour frequently breaks and often times blocks just stay there over spawn. It'd be nice to fix it. I can also suggest adding a new tag for spawn parkour at say 2500, or 3000 jumps, just to spice it up and add some new innovation.
3) ADD NEW CHAMPION MAPS
There's around three champ maps lined up and ready to be added, and I don't know what the hold-up is. Maybe to stretch content? I don't know, either way there's 3 phenomenal player built maps that can be added :) Shoutout all the builders
4) NEW MAPPER COLORS
If you added Mapper colors for every say 3 maps accepted, it could be a nice QOL update. EX) 3 Maps = [MAPPER] 6 MAPS = [MAPPER] 9 MAPS = [MAPPER] and so on and so forth, the order of colors doesn't matter, just the content itself. S/o James for the original idea
5) NEW RANKUP TITLES
/plot h QuinnyP 4 on parkour mapmaker has an outstanding new and innovative way that ranks can be organized and titled.

6) A TIER OF MAPS HIGHER THAN INSANE
Some insane maps get rejected for being too difficult, well, a tier of maps higher than insane could help solve that. You could name these maps IMPOSSIBLE or something. You could also choose whether you want these maps to count towards your log or not, because the casual player probably couldn't do these maps, then again the casual player couldn't get checkmark so idk. Only a select handful of people would appreciate these so I wouldn't say its a priority, but you'd be INSANE rank to unlock these.
7) PRESTIGE REWARDS
The act of prestiging has been in the game for.........a year and a half and we still don't have any sort of rewards for prestiging. Some rewards I can suggest for prestiging could be a slight mana increaser that would cap at prestige 25. it could be either .01 or .02 increase in the amount of mana you get from completing a map, this would stack with the amount of increased mana that you already get from having a donator rank. Alongside that you could have a rare block you could wear as a hat and every 5 prestiges you can get a title (could cap at a certain prestige level) Also every (x) amount of prestiges you can unlock a new way to customize it. This should be added because at this current moment there is no reason to prestige other than to flex .
8) ADD PRESTIGES TO TAB
IMHO it would be better to categorize tab by the amount of prestiges a person has, then it goes back to sorting normally. While this may look a bit dysfunctional in game I'm sure the higher ups can figure out a solution.
9) MAKE THE BARTENDER IN LOUNGE USEFUL
Lol not a very difficult suggestion but it'd be worthwhile to sell jump boost potions for like 400 mana each here or something neat.
10) MAKE A PARKOUR TUTORIAL UPON FIRST JOIN
This tutorial could contain FAQ as well as a short little course that gets people into the groove of things. Reward could be 100 mana. This could help with people asking the same questions upon joining.
11) ELITE CRATE
I know that this is very likely a WIP with the new checkpoint thing but tbh it should be released soon.
This next section is going to be wishful ideas but overall would make parkour an amazing place
12) ADD A NEW SPAWN/LOUNGE
The spawn we have currently is ok, but I feel it can be bigger and better. Something similar to the original spawn would be nice, but again bigger.
Also, a new lounge with lots of cool stuff in it could be cool.
13) ADD MAZES TO PARKOUR
Mazes could be a fun way to reward mana, and they're an overall pog experience. Players can submit well built mazes that are long enough in difficulty.
14) NEW TAGS
Beyond the basic tags that should be offered for milestones like 1mil jumps, and 1000 hours, I can think of some other ways you can incorporate tags. 1) you can buy tags in the shop with mana. the tags could cost anywhere from 5k - i dont know how expensive
2) you can hide tags in certain maps, say like 20 maps. They would be difficult to come by and you can't spoil their location in chat or else you can suffer a punishment.
15) RANKUP PARKOUR!
Not to be confused with /rankup where you rankup with mana, but an actual new rankup system.
You wouldn't be able to use speed / enderpearls / jump boost on these courses.
These courses would be long in difficulty, and progressively get harder as they go on. They wouldn't have checkpoints.
It would have some failsafe areas and a sky portion, where if you fall, you have to restart. Now this idea can increase the playerbase by a LOT. It would be so amazing to have this style of parkour on manacube. Now the reason why this probably hasn't been added is because it could be a pain in the ass to add 13 new maps well built. This is where the community could come into play, NOT SAYING THESE PEOPLE WILL, but people like shinx and good builders on the staff team could collaborate on these maps and make them swell and dandy, and prominent players of the community who excel at parkour (casey, pres, rep, gamers, etc) could help with the parkour building. Or, the build team could build the maps and the parkour players could build the parkour. idk it really depends.
I KNOW IM ASKING FOR A LOT HERE AND I DONT EXPECT ANY OF MY RED COLORED IDEAS TO BE ADDED INTO THE GAME. THESE WILL HEAVILY ENHANCE THE PLAYERBASE ON PARKOUR HOWEVER. PLEASE AT LEAST READ MY SUGGESTIONS @ THE HIGHER UPS.
SINCERELY - YOUR FRIEND JOEYISM.
