Um ... do you realize that most of the clips in that video you posted are of David Belle, the guy who coined the term "parkour"? Those that don't include Belle are either of Sebastian Foucan (the guy who coined the term "freerunning") or of the Yamakasi, which is the parkour group that Belle and Foucan started together with a handful of other guys. I can't say I've ever heard the term "freestyle walking" before.

well parkour to the best of my knowalge started out as frestyle walking and got suuuuper crazy after that. But hey I could be wrong. and I didn't know who any of the fools in the video were I just thought it was nifty. :D

G4 Network has a TV show called "Jump City Seattle." It's team parkour.

I thought the premise was kinda stupid, but I laughed my ass off when one kid went face first into a wall.

Was last summer. Didn't get too far though as I didn't want any stitches before my wedding. But this summer I'll be at it again, pushing my limits.
