That guy didn't make it. LOL!

I've heard of these guys a while ago. They were started by a gang of Russian youths who wanted to be better cat burglars. This was ten or twelve years ago.

EDIT: Seems to be bigger than what I've heard about.

Actually, It was started by David Belle, with his friends started playing games running around buildings and stuff. He'd been doing it for 15 years and this is the experience gained from it.

He got recognition when he filmed the short "Rush hour". Parkour is now split into 2 categories, Normal Parkour (Where the aim is to traverse obstacles in the most efficient manner) and Free Running (Flips, stunts, etc)

What you see is the latter

Looks like an easy way for nature to get rid of the weak. If you miss you die. Who is next to jump to the other building? Or was he trying the scene from the Matrix?

I posted a thread about the Parkour "Where the aim is to traverse obstacles in the most efficient manner" (As MdnIte puts it)

James May raced a new Peugeot 207 against 2 guys doing Parkour (Parkouring?) in Liverpool on Episode 7 of this past Top Gear season.

OMG! My link was deleted! I had no idea it was a bad site! I was posting the video link from someplace else and had no idea the original site was not appropriate.

My most sincere apologies! I try hard not to post anything I wouldn't show in front of my own sons! I'll be more careful, next time. 👍
