Ah man, thats the parkour sport! Man, I wish I could do that stuff. Very sweet vid.

EDIT: I think everything in the video is pretty much real.

Yeah, those guys are real life Spider-Men. There was a whole special about them on some news show. I think it was 20/20.

The FOUNDER of the French Parkour scene, I've come to understand... He does the most hardcore stuff... the building to building jumps down are INSANE!!!

I was into that shit for about 3 days then I realised that it was just a bunch of people trying to give names to shit that lots of people do anyways and turn it into a 'thing'.

Also, I tend to take things too far and I started doing shit that was pretty absurd and would ultimately hurt my delicate footbag machine body.

Haha nice post Tom, I totally agree about their fondness for naming things. However, the video was super cool and I love learning about fringe sports... like Kris Holm (http://www.krisholm.com/), the extreme unicyclist from canada. I learned about him because he was at UBC while I was there. Check out the crazy pics on his website.

I've seen some cooler wall-to-wall jumping, but those death leaks up from like 8 meters were crazy.
The music started to irritate though...

That's the opening scene from their movie "Banlieue 13". I posted a topic about it a while ago and everybody thought I was crazy

The whole movie is like that.

This video is a knockoff of the full version. In the full version, you get to see him climb up the climbing wall in the beginning in literally like 10-15 seconds, all uncut video (if I remember right).

Hmm, reminds of freestyle footbag. Sounds like a crappy attitude, but maybe I'm losing something in online translation.

Here's a link to a forum site that has a bunch of videos just like ours.
