Urban Gymnastics

If you’ve never heard of Parkour (aka Free Running), just think Urban Gymnastics. It’s an amazing ‘sport’ of French origin that involves athletic individuals ‘running’ towards a target destination while negotiating any and all obstacles in their path with elaborate maneuvers. It’s truly an amazing site to see. The underground sport has been featured in many action movies, from Casino Royal to District B13 and if you type the words into youTUBE, watch the screen fill with talent. This Thursday, MTV will be hosting a Parkour Challenge at 10pm…if you have nothing better to do, it’s def worth a look, if not a DVR recording.
