Parkour, Sport of the Future

Love it. The only good parts in Blade Runner were the rooftop-jumps. (Okay, and the spinners.) Ditto The Matrix.

These guys jump what looks like 25 feet down and into a roll that brings them right back to their feet.

Sure, it's dangerous. But then, so is sticking a deadly boomslang up your ass. And no one's complaining about that. (Thankfully.)

Well, They Made That Parkour Movie: Not all parkour, but lots of it, it seems. It's sort of Escape From New York in Paris, with karate and parkour.

Thanks to rho.
