Impressive stuff. This has been around for a good 4-5 years. Pretty sure the video came from France. I think that's where the 'sport' originated.

It's usually called free-running. There are a bunch of videos on the net if you do a search. Very cool!

Ok, now, where's the caption? It's supposed to say,

"Back in my day, kids had a little respect for the law of gravity."

Incredible. It's amazing how inventive kids will get without access to Playstation.

I think if Hollywood wanted to do a movie with these kinds of stunts (Crouching Tiger...) and didn't know of these kids, they'd say: " It can only be done with computer generated effects, call up the CG guys".

Thats just unreal. The level of fitness and bodily toughness is mind blowing!

Thats not members of the human race - must be that new breed - Homo Fellini.

I'll bet Tom Cruise (and his stunt double) can't do that....

Another name for it besides free running is parkour.

Here're some more that are similar

Apparently this guy founded "parkour"

http://www.unoriginal.co.uk/nuvideos/Free%20Running%20-%20UNORIGINAL.CO.UK.wmv

A commercial that aired in the US a while back

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=324275220270043053

not parkour, but similar amazing feats of strength and agility. You've gotta see this guy
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/7203/matrix_for_real/

more amazing feats of strength and agility. Again, you really need to see the stuff this guy does.

Those are french ninja warriors. We are just finishing their training to send them sort the mess in Iraq. You guys clearly need some help over there
Amazing movies by the way.
