I've mentioned here before that I'm a fan of Parkour (Google it - sometimes called "Free Running")

The guy credited with creating this urban combination of gymnastics and stunts is David Bell along with his friend Sebastien Foucan. I've seen heaps of videos but none compete with these two Parisiens. until now.

This "tracers.ru" clan are credited as Russian, (Actually Latvian; their russian nicknames are Ogre, John and Port), but these Free Runners are outstanding.

The video has a few crappy arty bits in the middle but some outstanding feats.

Enjoy Russian Parkour

I used to do that stuff, but I ****** up my knees pretty bad when I screwed up a flip.

I bet the cutting room floor has several examples of natural selection at work. They could have shot this and Faces of Death 27 at the same time.

Isn't David Bell the guy who invented the telephone?
No just kidding I know it's Graham Bell.
But isn't David Bell the guy who has one of the main roles in "Banlieue 13". The film has some nice action, but the story's well, euhm, crap?. But some parkour scenes that aren't that bad. One more thing, how can these guys do all that crazy yamakasi sh*t without blowing their knees? I mean, they jump from like what, 6 meters!?
-srry for my crappy username, dunno how to change it-

My friend can jump of a 3 story parking garage with no injuries, I blew my knee doing a simple front flip. Falling is easy when you know what your doing and you know where your going is clear, you land somewhere wet or with gravel and it doesnt matter if you fell from 3 ft you can get messed up.

You can change your name by fellating an admin. As a secondary option you could just stop posting so we don't have to see it.

thx a lot for that, you didn't help anything, you just were an *******, and what you said had nothing to do with this topic. PM me next time, and the way I see it, you're the one who should stop posting ***

Hoy crap, I broke a knee and sprained my wrist just watching that. Smiley: eek

We have something like this in the States, too. We call it "running from the cops". The German ShepheUrd that appears halfway indicates that this is, in fact, the case.

Lol, running from the cops. How could the cops ever catch the real-life version of the Prince of Persia :)

Sooooo, lemme get this straight: You are a fan of what looks like something a hyperactive 12 year old on a sugar rush would do to work off some of that extra energy? To each their own I guess.

It would make me happy if you ripped out your own small intestines with a rusty fish hook through your nose. Of course I'd settle for the classic bleach martini, 1 olive, stirred not shaken, bone dry. Please read the sticky before you continue posting nonsense.

Personally I'd like to see them set their face on fire and them put it out with an ice pick... but that's just me. Smiley: sly
