If you were to create an entirely new type of course for parkour, what would it be?

Hi all! Today I'm going to talk about an idea I've been keeping for a while now. It's an entirely new type of course for parkour, where there is one main build but there are different courses on it, instead of being one whole map, it's two or three little ones.

To fit this idea, I've been working on a skiing mountain, which will have many different courses on it, all leading down the mountain: The parkour is on/above the snow, but if you land on the snow you die.
I also had a little idea of a lodge that players can chill at and watch people ski!
So yeah, a completely new type of parkour course.

Do you have any ideas like this? Groundbreaking unique courses that might get accepted once understood? If so, I'd love to hear them!

The only reason I did this thread was because I don't expect anyone to steal these types of ideas, they would be extremely hard to do if the person who came up with it first has a headstart lol.

Maps from the Skate games, but you'd have to stay on a trickable part of the park for the entire time. Rails would have actual rails/minecarts on top to simulate a grind, you could ramp jump by grabbing a flying mob midair to fly you across the gap, and flips/grabs could be simulated (in newer versions of the game at least)

Thank you for reactivating my creativity! :D
I know this isn't really what you meant, but from more of an evolution of Manacube Parkour point of view for an entirely new type of course, I think they should add new types of parkour courses like when I had suggested Horse Parkour as a new Donator only perk.
I think that active maps such as horse parkour, or like a skiing thing where you're running in front of an avalanche, or like a minecart vehicle parkour, where there is more mechanics to the game than just default Minecraft jumping, would be an insanely cool addition to the server. And if Dacon is still looking for Donator perks for parkour, I think this would be perfect.

But I think some warehouse maps would be neat. Like an IKEA, or Lowe's, or Home Depot, where you gotta jump from shelf to shelf or something lol.

+1 I actually love this. I don't really play parkour at all, but if this was a map, you best believe im grinding world record

Marathon. A series of 3-5 maps ranging from easy (simple mediums and average easys) to hard as hell (think of the hardest map you can, then imagine doing 4 of the other hardest ones you know, all in a row). When completed, you earn 2-3x the mana you would from just doing them normally, depending on the difficulty. You have a set amount of deaths for each map. If you go over that limit, you have to restart the whole marathon.

Speedrunning pk, mana reward depends on time slot. For example an easy map -1:00 =30 mana +1:00 equals 15 mana but with more close time frames than that example

A difficulty below Easy challenge-wise designed to teach the jumps that one would see on an Easy/ Medium course rather than throwing 700 maps in a brand-new player's face.

Yeah that would be nice. I remembered when I first joined I had no idea how things worked, and I think I thought each rank was a title or something

There could be a bunny hill. Also don't froget about snowboarding. There could be like 10 different paths. ranging from really easy to raging hard.

I'm sorry my map already took the name Bunny Hill as one of the runs : (
