Too bad it's like 8 minutes long. Very awesome, nonetheless.

heh...so where is the video of his slip ups? I know he didn't perform some of those stunts perfectly each and everytime.

Even Jackie Chan can slip up once and a while. (Just look at the bloopers at the end of his films.)

Ah, Parkour. Things like this never gets old.

Though, Fig, i don't think there would be a Parkour blooper video. What they're doing is pretty real and any "bloopers" might land people to hospital with broken limbs and even death. I could post some more of these videos if y'all would like it, and trust me, the other Parkour-ists are pretty crazy.

If a human is capable of doing such things, then what are werewolves capable of? :P

People that can do that renew my faith in the human body.

I mean really, most people are so slobby and weak and slow compared to that. Those parkous guys are like freakin' animals! I like being reminded every now and then of what the human body is capable of, in the right hands.

You know, maybe the wall-climbing abilities of the Van Helsing werewolf wasn't as exaggerated as we thought...

It's 'proper' name is Parkour, the name for a person that does parkour is a 'traceur' ;P I used to train quite a bit until exams got in the way, now I just focus on Parkour photography.

York PK are a group of my friends that I sometimes train with, they're very good at what they do now :)

Urban Effusion used to do pk with the YPK guys, but there were a few...disagreements and they now have their own group. They do more tricking than parkour but it still looks awesome. They even got onto the local news when they held a parkour jam down in bridlington :D (news link)


And believe me. It takes a LONG time to be able to do minimalistic moves, so don't just go out there and start vaulting the nearest rail you see o.o; And yes, people do slip up quite often. Bedford (Or Chris, he's in York PK) managed to get concussion for a while after a nasty trip landing on his head, and Moon (Josh Moon, appropriate name for this discussion? :P) in Urban Effusion sprained his ankle once due to just a slight miscalculation. But it is very impressive to watch <3
