A french invention PARKOUR

[Gekigengar]

Has anyone heard of this and or seen it..

i think it looks cool a new perspective to look at things. Anyone actually taken it up im considereing to try around the city and jump around like a lunatic. but... id rather spend time on the bike.

But it would be nice to give it a go.

But for those who dont know what parkour is try looking at this
http://www.parkour.com/pk/homepage.htm

basically parkour is running with flow and having the ability to get over absticles like buildings drops fences with ease and no loss of speed.

Yeah been here plenty of times.

The Russia also have their version of it. I'm pretty sure it's only called "Russian Clumbing" lol. Here's a sample http://youtube.com/watch?v=7mr4vgVIaOg
It's pretty insane, can't imagine a copper ever being able to get his hands on that guy.

Personally I don't understand the whole concept.. or the Massive interest in this newfound craze, but each to their own

If I wanted to injure myself I would make sure I had a bike attched.. :)
