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.

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????!!!!"
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
Besides Google won and got to remove the identifying data
