How many of you have heard of Parkour? It's also known as Free Running, or Extreme Martil Arts. It's not too big of a deal......NOT! It's awesome. People run up walls and do backfliups standing still. I found some videos on YouTube and want you guys to check them out and tell me what your opinion is on it. :mrgreen: Here's some clips of people doing Parkour:

I agree Trixter, I mean to harness that kind of capability is amazing. Its an amazing feeling to make your body do the impossible. Its a form of freedom, that makes us capture an essence of extraordinary capacity. Man , what it must feel like to be free like that.

I heard about this about six years ago on a good old British show called trans-world sport, it's cropped up from time to time since then. I think channel four commishoned some of the best of them to 'jump London' it was an hour show of them racing across London, it was amazing.
