That's amazing, I'd love to be able to do that. It's like watching Assassin's Creed!

The first 2 minutes are kinda slow, but keep watching. It gets insaner.

Watched that one before. The thing that really gets me isn't so much that they can train their bodies to do this, but that they can train their minds. I'd be way too wimpy to attempt half those jumps/climbs even if I knew that it was possible.

I wish I had that kind of upper body strength. It'd be awesome if they had parkour classes on offer around here. I'd totally take them. Though I'm with Pev on not wanting to fall to my death.

I think they mostly have a great strength-to-body ratio, if that makes sense, not necessarily outrageous upper body strength. It's the same with world-class rock climbers...they're actually pretty puny when you look at them. And Parkour is heavily dependent on gymnastics which I hate.

Hehe ok well the train station was definately in england, it was a GNER train! rofl.
Those guys do some cool stuff, a little more showy in some ways than the other vids, in that they do a lot of twists and flips whereas the others seemed more interested in the actual getting around (which is the whole point) but that stuff is impressive.
