Parkour = Efficient movement over any given area.

Freerun = The same fundamental movements as Parkour but with the emphasis being on aesthetics, fun and creativity.

Wow!

That kid is just a *little* too good at that -- He could either be a stuntman or have a life in crime.. haha!

Looks like he's been doing that for a very long time!

Yes!

I posted this because I just got into Free Running myself recently, and videos like this inspire me. As a kid and a teen, I used to do similar things: climb up buildings, flip and roll over fences, etc. Unfortunately at the time, there was no name for it, nor any real respect for it, so it was just a nameless thing I did for fun. Now, it's a respected sport (at least in some circles), and they even make specialized shoes for it! I'm going to get some nice Free Running shoes soon. I'm also going to add more to the Free Running and Parkour section on Life Chat soon.
