I hope they become stuntmen or something before they kill themselves. Holy Shit!

That is absolutely amazing. I mean, they get wires and padding and fake shots for all that stuff in movies. It looks like a video game where you run around the city jumping and climbing and flipping over everything. Fascinating, truly fascinating.

This video is like my dream of what my life would be like...I always imagine climbing buildings when I see them, consider how to climb up...but I'm a scrawny white Jew. Damn you, REALITY!

I agree about the awesome.

Parkour is great to watch live. I saw some kids practising it (low level) in Paris when I went last year.

Earlier this year, an outdoors McWorkshop and w/o Annette photoshoot were interrupted by a bunch of hoodlums attempting this type of stuff. Mister bo-jangles security guy asked them to move along. They weren't terribly good at it; they just looked like street kids with nowhere to go. Plus they all had their shirts on.

The wikipedia article doesn't even mention that "Parkour" is a play on "parcour" which translates to obstacle course. Silly wiki.

Anyhow, it did have a link to a cool BBC advert

From the article:
"The word Parkour derives from “parcours du combatant”, the phrase referring to the obstacle courses of Hébert’s method.

Nice try, Vinny. You just added that! That's wikity-wikity-wikity-whack!

I don't think purists consider this TRUE parkour (whatever THAT is) because it's too showy.

Another impressive video from a few years ago showed david belle getting down from this fuckin' high building in almost no time, but I can't find it.

Does anyone know the names and artists of any of those songs in that video? They're great...

I recall at least one of them was on the Matrix soundtrack.

Yes, that first one is "Clubbed to Death" by Rob D. After that, a whole bunch of miscellaneous French rap, of which at least one is probably MC Solaar, though I don't recognise any of them specifically.
