Another one of my moderately long posts. So you can skip to TL;DR section if you want to.What LP said isn't wrong either. The Parkour mode with anims and objects
does deviate heavily from the game mode and skill gained from it
won't be practically applicable much to the game mode.
Hence I withdraw my suggestion of adding objects and stuff for the Parkour mode and
instead suggest this.
-O Make the Parkour mode
'relevant' to the Gamemode as a mode for
practicing for the President Class.
The President Class often ends up in a situation where he is
forced to run on foot and use his environments as cover. But most Presidents don't have experience in such 'on foot' dodge and run, hence end up getting rekt.
What parkour can be used of without modifying anything?
Run, Jump n Climb.
What I want to suggest is to make a mode like the /duel feature. But instead this is a 'limited' run n parkour survival reminiscent to the PTP gamemode, in a tightly packed location suitable for parkour.No Vehicles. 'On Foot' only.

The VIP(not lvl1+)/Presi impasta will be forced to run, jump and climb and utilize his surroundings to dodge and avoid the other players.In order for the mode to work, you need parkour worthy areas with cover and objects to avoid bullets.
So I suggest the following for each City Map as locations for the parkour survival/race:
Los Santos: Most of East Los Santos. Ganton, Las Colinas, Jefferson, Richman, etc. and the ofc the Docks.Ganton
Las Colinas
Jefferson
Richman and Mulholland
Docks
San Fierro: Tightly packed residential areas, Chinatown, Paradiso, Ocean Flats,etc where one can climb upto the low level structures.Paradiso
Ocean Flats
Las Venturas: Whitewood Estates, Redsands west, Spineybed w/ access to KAAC,Pilgrim etc.Whitewoods
Redsands West
Spineybed
Pilgrim
I think this will be helpful to the game mode. Why?
Well there are /duel, /dbduel and /race to practice gunfights, drivebys and vehicle handling. But almost
none of them actually favour in practicing for the President Class whose main goal is to 'Run' and 'Avoid' his threats.
Duels: Except for the Deagle which rarely happens without C bugging. The mode is useless for Presi; it’s literally a caged but open field against a Full Set of Weapons. Neither of which are practically applicable in gamemode for the Presi.
DBDuels: President doesn't possess Driveby weapons. Useless.
Races: Limited range of vehicles and some popular races aren't really that much practical like the SF Drag race and Kart Race.
Having a Mini Survival Parkour mode will help in practicing the President Class and practice the gamemode and encourage them to play it more after.
-O Other mode as Deadman suggested is Point to Point Race.
But my only difference in preference is that I don't want any checkpoints. Let the players explore the most efficient routes by themselves, unless the other routes are just plain displacement routes by running.
We could use also use Packers as makeshift ramps to climb on places where one could not reach with normal jumps.
Possibly also use the route as racepath used in this video if you wanna use checkpoints,in that way it would be fun.
TL;DR- Make a survival race based in tightly packed locations for both parkour and President Practice
- No Checkpoints for the parkour race,unless the alternative route is displacement via plain land.
- Use Packers as Ramps, for starters one could use this video's route as a parkour race path
