Watch Awesome Parkour in Cambridge
There's no better way to see a city than on foot, especially when you have the kind of feet that can propel you from one city rooftop to another in a single bound. Watch as these young and talented parkour enthusiasts kick their skateboards to the curb and take to the city of Cambridge, England like a band of amateur acrobats.
Parkour, also known as freerunning, is a sport in which the practitioner (traceur) uses gymnastic techniques to avoid obstacles as he or she runs through a city. Originating out of French military training techniques, modern parkour was "founded" in the later 1990's by French Marine David Belle.
