I watched a program on Channel 4 about free running a couple of years ago, some English guys ended up running through a shopping centre, was pretty amazing the stuff they were doing.

You should check out the opening of Casino Royale. The free running is so spectacular they had to give the guy a special credit.

amazing clip. that's some crazy parkour. i know some of the french guys are great, but they almost look professional, very athletic build, training indoors like gymnasts etc. this guy looks like any skinny kid, and check that russian environment, a lot tougher than a shopping mall.

i guess that's the ingredients needed, to be young and to be fearless... it's not like they sit around and wait for someone to  OK what theyre doing... they're just out there coming up with that shit.

you know i dont get amazed but a lot these days... pretty much seen it all, whether talking special effects, video games or whatever, but you just cannot watch a clip like that and not be amazed... sure they've edited, practiced before, putting it all together etc but still they do some sick shit that not a whole lotta people would do

David Belle is actually the creator... He created Parkour http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour)

Sebastien Foucan created Free Running a variant of Parkour which focus on the aesthetics as well

Free Runners are AWESOME!  I'd love to see a good action/crime movie based on Free Running.  Maybe a series of bank robberies and the chase scenes would be great.

I would trade all the Dumbells and Bench Presses and Deadlifts, squats that I have ever done to do what they are capable of.

Some of it just defies all comprehension.   The thought that goes into it, the physicality, the art.

I am VERY VERY impressed.

amazing stuff, but has a sad quality to it. It interesteing to see in Russia how the young people are reacting to life without repression and finally able to express themselves with free abandon. All their angst, anxiety and anger coming out in this art form. Very beautiful but sad in a way.

That run down abandoned developemnt reminds me of the documentary I saw about some Russina kids that were abandoned in places like that, cause their parents either died or were sever alchoholics. So the kids ages four and five were raised by packs of wild dogs. When they were finally discovered it was too late, they thought and acted like dogs. None could be fully rehabilitated. Crazy stuff going on in Russia.

Perhaps they are worried at the potential for bad press when hundreds of 12 year old turn up in A&E with broken bits after buying their trainers and jumping off walls just like in the adverts...
