That guy must have such ridiculous upper torso and leg strength.

This is also so dumb.. if they fail one jump... they're dead.

I wonder how someone learns how to do that. It seems like it would have an extremely steep learning curve.

edit: no pun intended

This is called Le Parkour or Freerunning. This guy is obviously very good.

EDIT: Very good is an understatement...Also, this guy has obviously spent lots and lots of time doing this. He's also spent plenty of time on each obstacle obviously.

David Belle (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1854204693582154043&q=parkour+belle) is ridiculous. (Skip 10 minutes in if you don't feel like watching the rest.)

edit - the wikipedia link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour) is good too.

While watch this it suddenly struck me that, even if it's in Russian, rap sucks.

I don't see anything going on in this video that the average gymnast couldn't do with enough practice. Sure, a lot of the things they do look cool, but nothing is worthy of a comparison to Spiderman. Very few of those jumps would be life threatening when failed.

Should we take this as that you hate rap, but hoped that you'd maybe start to like it if it was in russian?

On topic: My knees hurt from watching these videos.
