Parkour

I saw the above video on ESPN this past week. It is about Parkour which you have probably seen in a movie or two recently…maybe even a commercial. I know I saw this “sport” in Casino Royale. It is really fascinating. I hate to try and explain it since any definition I would give it would probably be a little off. So, I pulled this off Wikipedia:

Parkour is an activity with the aim of moving from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body. 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 — and can be practiced in both rural and urban areas.

I seem to get interested in these off the mainstream dances to activities every once in a while. I got interested in krumping after seeing Rize a few years back. Anyway, check it out…
