This activity is called "free running" or "parkour". It is also the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. Please be careful if you try this, or don't try this. If you try this, you do so at your own risk, AND you are F***ING INSANE. Have fun!
CHECK IT OUT!

That looks fun as hell. All I can say is, I'm glad I didn't have influence like this when I was a kid. I'd probably be more messed up than I am now
... now if I'd just loose 40lbs...
They had alot more videos like this over at big-boys.com (now break.com) You'd have to search through their archives now tho.

The official parkour page wasn't too informative (this i what happens when you try to make a page too clever).
However, wikipedia article was really useful. I've seen this stuf from TV, and it really looks good. I ouwld love to try, but too much weight :O
