Damn! unreal , killer vid's it's like watching a jackie chan flik ......

 

the first time i saw something like this was from some french dudes. they called it urban rock climbing or something like that. i think they did it better than this "urban ninja"

 

That guy would make a great stuntman

 

This guy needs his own movie!

 

The name of the sport is urban freeflow, and though a French climber did "popularize" it (he did a series of Nike commercials that aired in Europe and Canada, and eventually one that aired here in the U.S.), it's considered to have originated in England. It's caught on in northern Europe and the former areas of Russia pretty widely as well. It's also called Parkour in England.

If you watch the first video in comparison with the second one, you can see how poor the first guy's form is. I'm guessing his athletic capabilities come from karate or some martial arts. The second groups' form is much tighter - tucked legs, correct landing, use of arms to balance, speed. Most good street runners train as gymnasts and climbers.

Cool videos, Louis Thanks

If anybody's interested, I have Megs of videos on this stuff. I can put them up on my server.

 

Kym, can you PM me the details of your flight coming back? I want to jot it down on me calendaaar
