Giuliani Livid Over Bringing 9/11 Trials to NYC
Jakob has a nice video of a masked man doing a nice wall-walk while waiting for an L-Train. Please don't imitate this-- if done incorrectly, there is a 150% likelyhood that it will send you catapulting into the path of the train! If you've never heard of parkour, it's a form of street acrobatics invented in France: "Le Parkour (also called Parkour, PK) is a physical discipline of French origin in which participants attempt to pass obstacles in a smooth and rapid manner." Super-cool!
Speaking of NYC videos, check out these two new clips from TurnHere: Greenpoint and Hell's Kitchen.

Your link is bad - it should be: http://www.vimeo.com/clip=38831
Anyway, first observation - this is pretty lame parkour; you should have put a link to a good example such as http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1949559010406999329&q=parkour This may be one thing the French and Brits do better than we do.
My second observation is that Jakob's website is incredibly irritating; I think if you look up "hipster douchebag" in the dictionary, his picture would be next to it.
Good stuff. My personal favorite Parkour video involves a Russian kid. Check it out.

1. Masked?
2. Nothing I haven't seen kids do in grade school, and better I might add.
Dumb as a second coat of paint.
it was cooler when black french kids were doing this. but as with anything else, the suburban whitekids were bound to steal it and claim it as their own.
that's so weak.
and there's no bus that goes from greenpoint into manhattan.
wow, many videos on that site made me hate the internet
