It is pretty amazing what some of these artists are capable of. Parkour is even being introduced into some youth athletic programs in the U.K. and into gyms all over as a fun and different way to exercise. Glad to see it featured here! Now I'm gonna go practice.

There is also two really great documentaries on Parkour/Free running called Jump Britain (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5901806041431700202) and Jump London (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=461185990931808314).

I saw something similar at SF MoMA back in June. I wonder if this artist has ambitions to show his work there? One of the things I love most about San Francisco is how it embraces the 'different' and thereby actively encourages diversity. Thanks for posting this example of it! I just love this kind of art.
