Old ladies in wheelchairs are better at it than me, so that's not saying much :D

That's actually free running, not parkour. Parkour doesn't involve pointless aesthetic movements.

Isn't MTV coming out with a Parkour series? Seems odd how this is becoming popular, it looks boring just jumping around on and off of objects. Even if I had the ability to do this I think that I'd get bored quick. It's like what you do when you are a little kid at the playground, just on larger objects.

It's the new skateboarding.

But without the skateboard.

This makes me want to play some Mirror's Edge.

I'd say more like the new inline skating, since with skateboarding you actually had to keep the board attached to your feet, which takes skill. This is just street gymnastics.

Id love the ability to do all the flips. Just walking with my buddies, and then BAM illusion88 is doing a backflip.

I wonder how useful that really is though if he needs it for an emergency... Say he is sleeping and his house catches fire, does he do a backflip out the window and grab a tree etc? LOL I bet its all aesthetics -.-

I think he would have a good career in film as a stunt man.

Impressive. The first one those though I'd just call stupid. Even the best experts make mistakes and when you are 5 stories up you are going to look pretty stupid with your brains on the street bellow.
