What's your morning run like:

[audioguy]

These guys are nuts!!

 

[amirm]

Nuts indeed. Wonder what the last guy did at the end.

Didn't I hear this is some kind of new sport where techniques are taught on how to do this?

 

[Johnny Vinyl]

I came across this a few days ago and was stunned!

And Amir..it wouldn't surprise me if that is indeed what you heard. Fascinating, almost super-human stuff!

Parkour/Free-running

The "sport" of Parkour is growing very quickly across the world. Sebastian Foucan, one of the world's leading practitioners, gave a great performance in the famous chase scene in Casino Royale with Daniel Craig. District B13 and its sequel also highlight Parkour techniques.

Here's a video that we've passed around for several years in the law enforcement community, with the title How Would You Like to be in a Foot Chase with this Guy? :

Lee I am having deja vu because I recall you enlightened us about the sport of Parkour in another thread here several months ago in a comment about Casino Royale

Good to see those videos. So how did Daniell Craig do those scenes or was it green screen

Stunt man stand-in, green screen, and a wish to see the next day.
