Not impressed. First, it's not freerunning/parkour. That guy is an amateur gymnast. There is no display of the flow in his movements. You don't do a 720 over a railing and call it parkour. Any gymnast worth his salt can do that. Look up some David Belle videos. Those are impressive. Second, probably due to him trying to dabble in 'freerunning', he does not seem to have great strength for a gymnast. This is someone really strong. Oh and elbow lever to handstand is much easier than holding a planche.

I don't hate anything about the vid. I mean, 'my jaw dropped' when I realised a person could hold a crucifix at double-bodyweight. This just seems tame in comparison. When you've seen a Veyron at its max speed, you wouldn't call a Skyline GT 'jawdroppingly fast', would you? Maybe my expectations were too high upon seeing the thread title. I still stand by the fact that it is not freerunning. His tricking is not bad though.

The air of post-apocalyptic decay does seem to suggest that, but some of the signs and architecture look European.

This thread is further proof why Universal Healthcare is a bad thing.
