Le Parkour/Yamakasi/Streetclimbing - amazing!

oliB · December 25th, 2005, 8:47 PM

Alright, I have seen videos like these before, but I think those are pretty cool. I just wanted to share them, in case simebody didn't know about this sport. What these guys do ist just amazing! They're insane of course but this stuff is very cool to watch!

There's another amazing video of a guy doing a backflip down from some sort of small electricity tower (~ 25 feet) and landing on his feet. Can't find this one ATM though.

The BBC did a great show on this called "Jump London", where they did parkour all over famous buildings and stuff in London. As a special trick, one of the guys jumped down to the main deck on an armoured battleship, falling a distance equivalent to two stories!

EDIT: I'd also like to add that when I saw ads for the show, I thought it was a fictional story and that all the jumps were fake. Then I watched the show and found out it was real. images/smilies/eek.gif

Yeah, I remember that... that was one of the craziest things I've ever seen. If anyone finds it, be sure to post the link up here.

Actually, nevermind, found it myself. images/smilies/smile.gif

Here's the link if anybody wants to have a look: http://ds1.thatvideosite.com/streamv...key=1135556892
If that doesn't work, go to http://www.thatvideosite.com/view/1005.html. Lots of ads though.

Awesome, thanks! images/smilies/smile.gif

I'll update this thread if I find any new vids.

bone · December 28th, 2005, 8:00 AM

i've had an interview with that dude, but can't seem to find it no more

oliB · December 28th, 2005, 12:35 PM

Certainly not as impressive as the other vids, but fitting for this time of year:

oliB · January 17th, 2006, 11:19 AM

Here's a video of the guy, who was one of the first to do this sport AFAIK:
http://www.dumpalink.com/media/11333...ump_On_Parkour
He makes it look so easy...

More vids, but they're not as impressive as those posted earlier:

http://www.dumpalink.com/media/11243...r_Parkour_Clip
http://www.dumpalink.com/media/11314..._Parkour_Video

This guy is pretty good though, but I'm not liking the sort of ninja action in the middle of the vid. Seems to be in America for a change:

My thoughts exactly been looking at this stuff for a while and the people at 3run are some of the best I've come across

pdanev · January 18th, 2006, 9:41 PM

Yep, those guys do some crazy stuff at a really pro level. images/smilies/smile.gif

pdanev · January 19th, 2006, 10:06 AM

This guy is goooooooooooood!!!!!

His stunts are unbeliavable. He's the one in that 25ft tower backflip. His jumping across roofs, jumping into cars, and street stunts are unbeliavable.

www.cyrilraffaelli.com (only in french unfortunatelly, but pictures and videos are easy to find)

In case you can't see the video button: http://kyzr.free.fr/cyrilraffaelli/videos.php

Watch all of them, they aren't that big, but surely are amazing!

ps: in one of the videos there's even a higher backflip jump than that tower!

oliB · January 19th, 2006, 11:40 AM

Keep the links coming guys!

Videos don't work for me unfortunately. The pop-up window opens but there's no video... images/smilies/sad.gif

pdanev · January 19th, 2006, 3:22 PM

Hmmm, works fine for me. I use IE based browser, maybe try opening it in IE. Window pops up, and media player loads in that small window and starts streaming.
