I posted a link to this video clip and someone said that it was from a french movie (or part of it was). Anybody know what I'm talking about. http://gprime.net/video.php/hopphopp

Its one of a series of french Nike commercials featureing the new french sport of Le Parkour. Which,as near as I can tell, is stunt jumping without safty precautions in an urban environment. Heres a link to the homepage that includes more clips from other commercials. http://perso.wanadoo.fr/le.parkour/english/

Im prety sure these kids are russian and have been on the net for awhile with their stuff. They are pretty crazy jumping, flipping etc. Ive seen some video of them a few years back that is very similar. Its some amazing stuff the way they jump and flip.

Im out- find me on Hordelings if you want to chat.

This particular clip is from a Nike commercial, but there's also a movie called Yamakasi, samourais des temps modernes (modern-day samurais, I guess), in which a gang of young people go through paris to do their stuff

I spent my summer at a dig in Russia and yes this is a new fad there and across Europe. It's people doing stunts to the same effect as skaters or bikers, in essesnce a new extreme sport. The only name I ever heard placed to it was "Extreme Walking". Eh, hope that helps.
