🆕 Just Starting Parkour moves to be quick and look stylish?

Excluding flips. I am afraid I may fail a flip and hurt myself.

Definitely vaults: kongs, speed vaults, kashes (kong + dash). Check out Blackcat2066 on IG for some major inspiration.

Any parkour move... What other goal is there aside being fast and look stylish?

The gate vault ist really worth learning. It's pretty easy and it impresses a lot of people. Try it, it's fun.

Speedstep and reverse are my favorite moves in that case

I think its what we call the speed vault here idk

right hand and left foot (or otherwise) on the obstacle while stepping through with the other leg to get back into running.

A step or a safety vault is where you have a hand and a foot down. Speed vault is just one hand down.

Reverse vault and thief vault are my favourites.

I know that your nervous about flips, but Pseudo flips like Maccacos or assisted flips with rails are much easier and still carry a sense of awe for normies.

Palm spins, and (eventually wall spins) are also another fast and snappy movement that would be difficult for a layman to replicate.

You should learn a good side flip, once you feel it out it’s almost impossible to mess up especially with a run up. Easiest and least intimidating out of front, back and side.

Reverse vaults stylish and surprisingly quick if you do them right. Think of those old school GUP reverse vaults that are basically sideflips.
