What do you get when you take the board away from a street skater? Parkour! Also known as free running, this is the latest up and coming craze in the fight against urban boredom. Basically it’s a person running in a straight line, using any means necessary, to get from ‘a’ to ‘b’. Sound pretty simple right? The problem is you have to go through ANY obstacles in your way. This could mean flipping off a wall, jumping off a 4-storey rooftop or sliding under a truck but no matter what it is, nothing can prevent you from reaching your goal. This leads to people doing some pretty crazy things in order to get to their destination. Be warned though, this is not for the physically weak. In order to be successful you need to train but when you look at what some of these guys can do, it is definitely worth it. You can check it out at: http://www.americanparkour.com/
