This dude has some serious thrill issues. But is damned good at it

I wonder how many bones he's broken...

SimplyNic July 14 2008 5:11 PM EDT

Probably a lot lol

If you liked him look up David Belle. He is the founder of Parkour. He was even featured in a french movie using that style for all of the stunts.

cool movie

I don't believe his name is David Belle, but in the recent James Bond: Casino Royale, the opening chase sequence is done with one of the founders of Parkour (The sequence where Bond chases a bomb maker)-- they even do a bit on Parkour and that chase sequence in the DVD Special Features.

Oh, and why isn't Parkour in the spellchecker????!!!!

SimplyNic July 15 2008 2:45 PM EDT

xD Lol Nice exactly 12 hours after your original post.

But no idea

SimplyNic July 15 2008 2:46 PM EDT

Maybe not so much...

"Oh, and why isn't Parkour in the spellchecker????!!!!"

Perhaps because it is a spelling checker and not a contrôle d'orthographe...

A few of those guys (that do that stuff) were in the beginning "intro" to whatever the Spike TV Awards show was a few months ago.

I used to be able to do that kind of stuff back when i was in gymnastics, still can do backflips (no spins, yet). I just like showing off in various places, =)

Is it possible no longer to link to you tube? Since that little Viacom incident I kinda want to avoid "Youtube".

That guy is seriously athletic. I've seen his parkour stuff before, but he's pretty good on the floor. I liked his standing flip with a half twist. I don't know how he does that. I remember from gymnastics how hard it is just to do a simple flip with a running start.

watching things isn't so much the issue Henk... it's uploading things that Viacom is looking for
