Amazing video. He warms up for about a minute, then the camerma man goes batshit crazy for about 45 seconds, then a lot of amazing stuff happens. Any thoughts? It's the Russian (I think Russian, might be from one of the surrounding countries) Dvinsk Clan. A group that does a lot of Parkour/Free Running stuff.

Any Free Runners on here?

I've been practicing Parkour and Freerunning for two years now... and i must say... it is the most fun and excitement I have had in a long time.

It is truly my passion, and I train every day.

If it's videos you want, subscribe to the glyphmedia channel, they supply several videos each week of traceurs. The channel belongs to probably the most famous and successful team: Urban Freeflow.

Do you do Parkour/Freerun? Any Good?

I don't think Parkour is a sport, yet. IMHO, it's mainly for recreation. Don't get me wrong, I'm not disrespecting Parkour. Major props to free runners. I've always wanted to try it but my body is not built for Parkour. The first time I saw something like this was when I was a video of an "Urban Ninja". Then I saw several videos of free runners. I'd love to see this go mainstream and have an organization that can handle this. It's pretty dangerous.

I used to free run, but I gave that up and currently ride BMX and am going to start MMA training (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muy Thai, and Tae Kwon Do.) Love free running though.. Kind of would like to get back into it someday...
