Heres something to watch when you are a bit bored.

The sports called Parkour or Freerunning what these buggers can do is quite amazing




and the movie clip which first brought it to my attention

... and in unrelated news, the russian equivalent of Woolworths had a sale of red cordial and "The Matrix" DVD's last week.

That's unbelievable!

First saw 'Parkour' in a doco a couple of years ago, & have watched a bit of it since....seems to be the 'sport' of 'jumping things'.

Madonna has a guy doing it in one of her latest vid-clips. (The smilie's for Madonna, that is....not the guy......I'm not GAY or anything!!!! not that there's anything wrong with that!)

There's a club in France (I think?) that recruit & train members. It's all about physical/mental fitness & how you relate to form?!?!

Personally, I like to walk around objects, than try to jump/somersault over them.....safer

Good Vids though!!!

Pretty cool, have you seen the opening sequence to Casino Royale?



Now Elmo, what about running down to the waterline, rig in one hand, board in the other, leaping out and landing with feet in straps and rig full of wind for a completely dry takeoff....that I would pay money to see

It'd be fun to learn a little bit of that parkour stuff. That move where they run at a wall take one step up it and flip over backwards is an oldy but a goody... and just running along and tuck into a forward and land on your feet is pretty impressive.... dunno if my hips could take it though....hmmm... hypnosis is the answer.
