Parkour?

I'd never heard of this before a buddy showed me it. Pretty damn cool.

According to Wiki:

Quote:

Parkour (sometimes abbreviated to PK) or l'art du déplacement[1] (English: the art of displacement) is a physical activity of French origin, the aim of which is to move from point A to point B as directly and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body.[2][3] It is meant to help one overcome obstacles, which can be anything in the surrounding environment — from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls — so parkour can be practiced in both rural and urban areas. Male parkour practitioners are recognized as traceurs and female as traceuses.

this has been a phenomenon for years, I think it's getting a little tiring though

they made a big point of it in the new die hard movie

I guess I don't get it. its just a bunch of guys jumping around.

Gonna have to agree with Snark here this has been around for a while and while still interesting is getting rather overused in commercials movies ect. Parkour has become dull to a point unlike rube goldberg machines!!!

It looked like an episode of COPS, except without German Shepards.

I remember seeing a show bout these guys a couple years ago. It'd be more entertaining if they were in speedos I think.

Or bashing their heads into the walls until they were no longer living. This kind of shit should NOT be getting ANY publicity.
