Impressive stuff to watch on the 'net.
But my teen son (currently in Korea with me) is an aspiring free-runner.
He seems to enjoy trying to give me a heart attack with his stunts.
OK, I suppose. We just added him to my insurance policy today. |

That is amazing.
But what is that guy's life expectancy?
Just my cents, but with talent like that he should be training for an Olympic gold in gymnastics instead of risking being impaled on some rusting rebar somewhere...
P.S. what god-forsaken urban wasteland was that filmed in? It looked like the inspiration for some of the levels in HL2... |

Think your average cop could give any kind of successful backyard chase to this guy?  |

I wonder what the *outtakes* for that video look like.
Is it possible to be born without fear? He's agile but there's an endearing awkwardness to him as well. Full points for style and moxy.
He reminded me of the "Prince of Persia" video game trilogy.

Those Russian kids were pretty good, but I have to say the French dude in the Wikpidia bit is friggin' REDONKULUS!!! And as an American, I don't hand out compliments to the french that often!!!!  See if you can find a clip of him out there on the web. It'll be worth it. |

| When the second guy appeared it suddenly occurred to me: Where is everybody? Video-game landscapes are often unpopulated, but what is this? Chernobyl? |
