Fabulous movie! Puts my meagre movie efforts to shame :redface:

Anyway, it's an actual sport called "freerunning". Here's a site dedicated to it...

Its also reffered to as Par Kour. I have a few friends who do this. I have gone with them them on a couple occasions, its an adrenaline pumping 'sport'.

Thanks for sharing the vids, I'll have to show one of my friends, seeing as he is russian, haha.

It totally reminded me of something some of us do called 'urban bouldering', but I thought it was just too cool not to share.
