Cool, but one small mishap and he's done.

Yea, pretty amazing athletic ability, but I'll think I'll continue to take the stairs to get to upper floors.

If he were to drop off the bridge, or the buildings, or land on his back or head on the concrete it would suck.

 

[Really Lost One]

Damn. Is that real? I wonder how long it took for them to rehearse all this

 

[I-Miss-MJ]

Someone watches too much Spiderman.

 

[umair]

^^ lol..
Thats clean how they do it. I'd say watching too much Jackie Chan.

But if he messes up, he could break a bone or two.

This is the most awesome, yet at the same time stupid, thing I've ever seen in my life.

 

[Sasha]

That was awesome! Any more?

It's called Parkour, Estonians have knowed it for a pretty long time. It's pointless imo.

 

[Schaddy]

Wow - they say that humans don't have the type of athletic ability that animals need to climb, but that's about as close as I've seen to a human climbing and/or moving like an animal. Crazy and very cool, IMO.

he shuld be in the circus as an acrobat

and it would take forever for cops to catch him

 

[Skiptomylue11]

Imagine if all cops could scale walls like him!

While I agree, you cant deny its not cool to watch.

 

[Bobcats]

Lol, I'd love to see cops try to catch this guy on foot.

Actually, this is starting to become an underground sport for those athletic and strong enough to do it. They like to call it "Urban Gymnastics" too. I have a friend in Waukegan who does this type of stuff and he's trying to promote it into being a professional sporting event.

I've heard him say that too. I don't think they'd ever get it to be a sporting event though.

Here I remember one of the most famous groups in the World at this are called the Yamakasi from France. They're basically pioneers of the popularity, fantastic.

 

[elevate]

lol i cant imagine this as a sport lol

and the Gold Medal For street climbing goes to...

 

[M Two One]

You never know, people always said skateboarding, rollerblading, etc wouldn't be considered a sport and it is now. I doubt this will, but again you never know.

What I was most impressed by was his strength. Dude was doing pushups vertically in the beginning and he would need to be in awesome condition to land on his feet with the majority of those jumps.

I think this would be a cool sport if you could find a bunch of these people and get them to play tag/manhunt.

 

[Sex Panther]

the thingis..very few are athletic enough to even attempt some of those stunts without getting injured.

Wow, could you imagine playing tag with them? Your walking and guys jump out of trees, tag you, then jump onto a building and jump away.

It seems like a very dangerous sport, even for trained pros. The worst part is jumping from building to building and barely making it.
