    Parkour is pretty badass. It's less badass than free soloing, but still pretty cool.

    I also don't like it when people call it a martial art.

    sure i'll spend an hour in the park watching someone else play superman. seriously, this sounds like something that has it's own place of honor among the darwin awards.

    i remember people calling it "freestyling" when i was in high school 2000-2004. me and my buddies would sometimes get really high and go freestyle at the mall, but i dont think we did any better tricks than a 360 off a curb. lol

    shit's awesome though. they had some parkour championship in seattle on g2 not too long ago. it's really entertaining stuff

    It looks like fun, but where I live, there's absolutely no place to do such a thing. The buildings and houses are all placed too far apart, I think people would probably break their necks trying to jump from one to another. Or fall through a roof...

    I think the French invented it while running away from the nazis.
