It’s been a while since we posted about Parkour. Here’s freerunners PhilyDee and Kie Willis doing their stuff in Cambridge, England. How do you think he got himself out of the tight spot at the end?
But before you say "I can do that," take a look at the bloopers. Ouch! You’ll probably kill yourself, mmkay?
Pomparkour is supposedly a new “sport” that is described as parkour with ladders. This ad for a sports drink is raising eyebrows because it has no warning that these are professional stunt people and this should never be tried at home. In fact, we get a glimpse of how they did it in another video.
Notice the safety ropes, which were apparently edited out of the finished ad. -via Metafilter
Parkour is a sport consisting of running, climbing, crawling, and jumping over any obstacle in a path through an urban environment. Vimeo user saggyarmpit, a graphics design student in Singapore, created this amazing flip book animation video showing a parkourist in action.

Here at Neatorama we have seen Damien Walters show off his parkour moves, we have seen parkour on two wheels, and we have had parkour as an Olympic sport suggestion. Now it’s time to move on with some dog parkour moves.

Neatorama’s own Johnny Cat has got the best idea concerning the Olympics that I’ve heard in a long time. Here it is, in his own words:
After some dull moments in beach volleyball, I realized the Games could use a little perk in athleticism, namely the greatest new sport/subversive activity: Parkour
Sure beats skateboarding. IOC, are you listening? And if you don’t know what Parkour is, here’s the founder performing a Super Mario Parkour [Google Video]
Most of us can ride bikes, but I bet you not like Inspired Bicycles team rider Danny MacAskill. Here’s a video tape of a collection of what can only be described as parkour on two wheels: Link [YouTube clip]
Kids, don’t try this at home. Or on the streets, either.
