[1.9] Elytra-Parkour Server [Suggestion]

With the latest release of Minecraft version 1.9, many, many new items, aspects and changes were made to the game. The most important pertaining to this suggestion being the Elytra wings. To set this server apart if and when it updates to 1.9, I am proposing a new parkour server in which the wings will be used.

Instead of the tradition parkour we all know and love of today, flying will become the new jumping. How will this work? Players will glide from start to finish across various courses in fluid motion without stopping. The wings carry the player's momentum and because it is not sustainable forever, eventually you will have to touch ground; in this case, the end platform. If you touch any surface before then, you will lose your momentum. If that happens, well you're starting over.
This sub-set of parkour could be placed into the lobby selector just like Skyblock and Hellblocks shared icon.

Here I have created a rudimentary course to show as an example:

The issue of shortcuts obviously is a big factor to consider with this type of parkour. Because the example course I built was mainly open sky you could essentially fly straight to the end with ease. Enclosed course designs are one way of preventing this. Plugin wise if @TannerLittle has any ideas, such as being teleported back to the beginning or killed if you use a shortcut, I'd love to hear from you.

Being that this is a thrown together thought, any suggestions on top of this would be wonderful to hear. Setting this server apart from the others even more is something I feel Mineverse needs right now.

Neutral. If you have ever used the Elytra you would know it is not exactly accurate. Mabey not the best for parkcore.

Support, even though I'll "slurp" at it.

Support, just to maybe reduce the amount of gamemodes, maybe can also add the Elytra Parkour into the Parkour gamemode?

Just a quick heads up for anyone who doesn't visit parkour often but have or were going to support, you may continue to do so but they are planning on adding the gamemode
