"that should be posted on the main forum", tracy
that is indeed awesome. it's really no different, however, than all the park monkeys at your local ski resort. these russian kids just don't have the money/access for skiing.
sooooooooo, splat, how'bout spancering some russian kids with some bro's?
How the hell would they do that with skis on?
ok, bro's and some lift tickets out of russia
I'm sorry but that's more rad than anything performed on skis....period.
That.Is.The.Craziest.Thing.I.Have.Ever.Seen.In.My. Life!!!!!!!!
that is awesome!
the whole thing is sweet but the wall run to flat spin/d-spin/misty thing off the wall at about 2:45 dropped my jaw.
I want to see him in a Jackie Chan movie!
funny how this shit propogates around the net. seen this vid on like 4 forums now.
I whole heartedly agree, completely badass. Although this kid's stuff is beyond "running", might be more appropriately called freestyle street gymnastics.Quote:

I prefer Human Street Jibbing…way more uber. ;)
I believe that stuff is called 'parcours'. It is pretty common in major urban centers like paris (apparently where it originated), NY, san fran etc. A bunch of parcoureurs will get together for a session which will usually end in an injury. A cool mix of climbing and gymnastics.

8 minutes and 24 seconds away from studying for finals. Well worth it.
Actually the name is Parkour, but Parcours is close enough...Quote:

I'm thinkin' this kid was an Olympic hopeful that realized drugs and stealing (and running from cops) were more fun.
Holy shit. Great, now I have to add walking to the list of stuff I suck at.
Whatever its called that kids got BALLS
I just pulled my jaw up off the keyboard.
Holy Shit! That is athleticism!
Good video , those russian dudes are nuts!!!
This is David Belle , he was one of OG's of this shit....

craziest shit EVER...:yourock:
nike had a sick commercial based on parkour a while ago. anyone remember that? kid did a series of jumps down several landings/floors of winding stairs, the stairs were kind of like ripping the walls of a winding staircase in a hotel, but outside, with no ceiling to the whole stairway. kid just bounded down it like it was third period gym class. bad. azz.

I dig the French hip hop.... but was that Kriss Kross rapping in French around 3:40?????
My achilles hurts just watching that. Amazing.
That was pretty cool, and I think there was a scion commercial with this sort of thing in it recently.
It's crazy how he climbed that building and then bounced between unfinished walls on top, landing on some that were right on the edge of the roof...
That was pretty impressive based on the risk factor alone. Maybe the video was deceiving, but it definitely looked like if he blew that jump he was done for. That is definitely not for me, but an awesome video regardless. :yourock:Quote:

The misty 5 over the stairs was retarded. That shit is beyond sick.
Holy risk factor Batman! Some of those building jumps were deadly.
There's 900 guys here in D.C who do that shit every day for a living.
The guys in the video are from Daugavpils, Latvia, not Russia as I initially thought.
Holy shitballs!!! That was sick...
The conversation about a trolley at the end was pretty random, and the rapping in the middle wasn't in russian, if anyone cares.
I think it's French. I know the track is: Rob D - Clubbed to Death.Quote:
