Parkour is so cool. :supercool:

 

[Kevin Palmer]

Could easily get away from others if they needed to...

 

[Robert Thomas]

Born to late. Now I can only compare what they do to what I do is getting from the bed to the bathroom without failing. :cry::cry:

 

[Shaun Tucker]

Man that's cool..



Totally reminds me of Assassin's Creed II....Now that I think of it, it also makes me think that they could make a kick ass AC movie

 

[Thomas Rogers]

I suspect it's all about the moe...momentum.



Leave it to the French to turn "running away" into an art form.



TJR

 

[Gary DiPietroSr]

TJR, too funny!

 

[Kevin Lang]

Rather funny how the guy gets screwed at the end. Oops.



Proves the old adage "Look before you leap".



Though since they aren't really going anywhere, and are throwing in needless acrobatics to look impressive, I think it's more free-running than parkour.



If you liked this, you might want to check out the movie series (Banlieue) District 13. They're action movies with real stunts and no heinous "jerky camera" action. One of the main characters is David Belle, the founder of Parkour, and the movies feature him demonstrating his art most impressively, particularly the first one. This video was most impressive, but it doesn't hold a candle to the movies.

(BTW, the movies are made by Luc Besson--Taken, Transporter, 5th Element--putting them high on well-shot action, but low on plot)

I suspect it's all about the moe...momentum

Guys, help me out here. I don't get what the word was supposed to be before the ellipsis.

Here's the most famed parkour scene from District 13. Give it a few seconds to get started. BTW, the dub of the movie really takes a lot out of it.

I like this one,,
