More Parkour For My Acrobatic Fans

Posted in Full Body on the September 21, 2009

I got so much positive feedback from the Street Workout main page for the previous Parkour video, I thought it smart to post up another. The most visually stunning thing about Parkour is that these gentlemen do such incredible things in their own space. The feat that’s accomplished is one of mastery of each individuals balance and movements. These small motions combined to form not only a new sport but a culture that has become a world wide phenomenon. This video features a team out of Mexico, which only further my point of international appeal. This video also captures the sheer love for the sport the gentlemen have that are amazing onlookers attempting to casually pass, but are immediately stuck by the free show being offered.

Crazy Jump 100% Or Just Crazy?

I have a strict Street Workout rule, and that is that I don’t post the same videos here on the blog as I do at the main Street Workout site. However, today is an exception to the rule. This video warranted posting in both places, and you will soon see why. As you all know, I love Parkour. I love it because I find it amazingly primal yet so sophisticated at the same time. It’s like watching an urban rap version of the ballet. I haven’t posted a Parkour video here for a while because I hadn’t seen anything new. That is until now. THis has to be one of the best Parkour video I’ve ever seen. I rank this up there with the heroics of a David Bell. It’s always a delight to see people approach something common from an uncommon standpoint and make it all their own. That is what this band of young men accomplished in this video. With no further ado, here is Crazy Jump 100%, and you will understand why they call themselves this.
