In movies, people are always jumping from building to building, or from moving vehicles to escape the police, or the "bad guys" and we often think ... "is this realistic?" Well, I'm here to tell you that it is!
Welcome to the sport Le Parkour:
Here is a brief description: the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one's path by adapting one's movements to the environment. It is a non-competitive, physical discipline of French origin in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible. Skills such as jumping and climbing, or the more specific parkour moves are employed.
In otherwords ... parkour is basically ridiculous moves, jumping from building to building, running up walls, and all sorts of crazy stunts. This is somewhat like the equivalent of American skateboarding without a board.
After watching a parkour video, I've determined that this skill would be best used in running from the police. How could they possibly keep up!?
Check it out ... seriously!
