Thanks! Have you seen it? Any good?
As soon as I heard them speaking French I thought 'Luc Besson'!

Isn't there some new, sorta underground, urban sport that involves jumping around like this on buildings, parking garages, monuments, and other architecture? I remember seeing it in a car commercial awhile back, then hearing later that it was an actual "sport". Or maybe I'm crazy.

It's called "Parkour"

A documentary film was made about Parkour called 'Jump London'. Very cool. Well worth checking out. I don't know if it was released in the states or not.

I remember the BBC advert now, but I never made the connection.
I some how doubt this 'sport' will ever make the olympics! Maybe the X-Games though.....

Here's a link to one of the first videos I ever saw featuring this stuff (I think it's the same guy in the movie clip in the first post: David Belle, the guy who, from reading that wikipedia page on parkour, apparently was the founder of it)
