Le Parkeur

Anyone in town into this? Just heard about it today; looks like someone put a name on stuff that was already happening. The basic premise is "exteme obstacle course running", I guess - kinda stylistic vaulting/jumping/flipping/climbing in an urban setting.

http://www.urbanfreeflow.com/UrbanFr...angraffiti.htm has a bunch of vids. Some of the stuff looks easy, some looks super-hard. All of it looks fun as hell. :)

So does anyone do this stuff?

ill check back in 10 years when the tricks impress me.

like the backflips are cool but right now its 'man look at me jump really far and not fall!' or 'hey look at me run and climb a high wall!'

i've seen more impressive stuff in skate videos. im sure the 'art' or whatever will mature but right now it just looks like skateboarding for people with no balance, or base jumping for pussies.
