Parkour - the unreal is real

To some this may be old news, but if you haven't seen or heard about "Parkour", otherwise referred to as "Free Running", get watching this video!



If you're not into the music, turn the volume off, but keep watching!

Basically, the concept of Parkour / Free Running is described by some as getting from point A to point B as efficiently as possible, using obstructions and obstacles as a tool (ie. going over them) instead of going around them. This is a new wave sport were Gymnastics, Martial Arts, Kickboxing, and Urban running come together into one sport.

Methinks warming up and phenominal physical shape is mandatory for this one! :)

Here's another video in case the last one didn't convince you that this is one of the most mind blowing 'freestyle' sports. Oh, and the music is a bit better for those not into the 1st video... but no, it's not country music hits... that just wouldn't go with the flow of Parkour!

Crazy humans, thinking up crazy sports like this for us to watch in awe on YouTube!

... and yes, I wish I could do just one of these moves... :)
