HOLY CRAP! THAT IS AMAZING!

 

[Rambler]

Not bad for an amateur

 

[digitalwanderer]

Wow! I haven't seen a display of physical prowess like that since Gizmo!

That kid is amazing, good viddy. Thanks.

 

[Khronus]

That was awesome!! BTW anybody know the name of that first song in the video? I've heard it before, just can't place it.

 

[Ty]

Wow, neat video.

Is the song, Rob D, Clubbed to Death?

 

[BRiT]

Is the song, Rob D, Clubbed to Death?

Yes. And most know it from The Matrix movie/soundtrack.

 

[suryad]

Yep exactly.

That guy is like Spiderman meets Prince of Persia!

 

[Rambler]

Um, I guess you guys haven't seen Team Ryouko then?

 

[digitalwanderer]

Um, I guess you guys haven't seen Team Ryouko then?

Nope, but one quick google later and I'm gonna check 'em out!

 

[BrynS]

Pretty hectic!

There was a documentary about this movement on Channel 4 (UK TV channel) last year called Jump Britain IIRC. I thought the discipline was called free jumping, but the correct jargon seems to be Freestyle Parkour or Freerunning.

 

[suryad]

I saw Team Ryouko but these guys were more impressive. Those Ryuoko guys seemed to be doing it in a practice environment....this guy was just out there.

 

[Khronus]

Thx for the song info, I knew I'd heard it somewhere before! I ended up with the Kurayamino Mix, allofmp3.com FTW !

Thanks for your interest in Google Video

Currently, the playback feature of Google Video isn't available in your country.

We hope to make this feature available more widely in the future, and we really appreciate your patience.

Could someone kindly put up a mirror for us third-world Germans

 

[pocketmoon66]

That's amazing. Better than any freerunning Ive seen before. That backflip from a ledge just below a first floor window is astounding.

 

[Basic]

I followed dig's link. But while they are good at their stuff, I don't see how they compete with the Parkour video.
(I just looked at their demo movie, maybe they have other stuff too.)

Whoa same thing happened to my buddies in India. They cant see the vids! WTF is up with that? Why would Google block it like that?

 

[Guden Oden]

Well, since video playback across the intarweb requires some server muscle and phat bandwidth pipes, google likely hasn't spent the cash required to set up the equipment neccessary. I don't think they're blocking anyone per se.

It works for me anyway. Google's player is great, works much better than MS's MP10 crap.

 

[Captain Chickenpants]

The parkour stuff is pretty cool.
If you thought that the stuff they were doing was nuts check out this guy climbing.

[Bigus Dickus]

Of course, that guy died doing that crazy climbing.

 

[Captain Chickenpants]

Actually he died doing some rope swinging stuff. But I confess I wasn't at all surprised to learn that he died doing some kind of extreme sports thing.
One of the guys here have got a poster of him doing a kind of handstandy thing (like the one in this thread http://www.rockclimbing.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=884416) half way up a cliff face.

Oustanding athelete, but a bit mental.
