That would be Parkour. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Parkour is a form of urban gymnastics (Basically what you would be doing in the gym but they do it outside).

Unsafe? Maybe. Fun as hell? YES

I was thinkg the same thing, but I will try to add something useful. This is what I think of when I hear Parkour. Not sure if it is exactly right, but this guy is amazing. Well after rewatching it, it isn't the video I was trying to link, but it is still very cool stuff.

This is a little more like what I was looking for.

That guy in that first video rocks! Looks like he came right off of Tekken (martial arts video game for those who don't know)

The dudes in the second video were pretty amazing too.

i saw this one special on TV about a group of three guys that did the same thing as the guys in the second video (but WAY better) and the show is about their 9 hour run through Londons roof tops and land marks and is capped off by one of the dudes jumping off of some deck on a battle ship (cant remember exact height, but it looked really, REALLY HIGH ) to another deck.

The second show - "Jump UK", finishes by showing chapters all over the world...except the States?

Was this stuff not aired on TV over there?
