Jump London

Anyone who digs Parkour, or its bastard cousin Free Running, really owes it to himself to watch the documentary Jump London, viewable on YouTube.

I’m not very fond of Sébastien Foucan. Or rather, I’m not fond of his claim to have invented Parkour, nor him relabelling it as Free Running. Free running has added a lot of frilly acrobatics that I don’t care much for, and I think David Belle should have been mentioned in the documentary, if only in passing.

(Foucan was one half of the awesome parkour scene in Casino Royale.)
