This video is INSANE. My friend showed it to me, it's nothing bad, but it's honestly the coolest video EVER!

That guy is going to die an early death from a neck injury or something, I swear. -_-

While it is indeed very cool, I hate videos like these. Whenever I watch them they make me feel pathetic. >_>

I think it'd be worth it to die an early death to have a video like that on the 'net. =P

Y'know, I'm under the impression that there really haven't been all that many deaths from parkour, and the ones breaking their necks are inexperienced traceurs trying to imitate stuff like this, not the ones making videos of it.

Perhaps, but it still looks pretty risky to me. One slip on a wet or icy surface, and wham...

Especially in those ruin-like buildings in the video. Doesn't look safe.

Yeah, when I first watched it I thought he fell off a roof and then I saw him running from a dog =P

Yeah, and don't get me started about driving. Those people are CRAZY! Every time I see someone driving along in their big dangerous car, I just shake my head and wonder how many months (or perhaps years, if they're lucky) they'll manage to cheat the reaper before they wind up in an early grave.

Just saying, but hands seem to slip much easier than wheels.

Geez. Can't a guy express amazement in peace?

Clearly video games are too blame. Must have played too many platformer games and started immitating them!

Besides the jump at 2:39, I'm not impressed.

I'm certain they make many many runs before shooting a video, and at least make sure the routes check out before attempting, what are obviously, practiced stunts. Still, it is something to watch. Notice, too, the gymnastic equipment, I'm sure they didn't just wake up one day and decide to leap rooftops....
