nice, no idea about the DvD reference though, also it's either the GoPro perspective or he needs to pull his trousers up a bit, it's got to be easier if the crotch of your tracksuit is above the knees.

Pfft leaping around on buildings is one thing, but can he say "Gawd bless ya, Mary Poppins" in an american-trying-to-sound-cockney voice ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚

That was very good, and you forget that one misstep and they are probably dead.

I have seen these bods round Cambridge, and always tempted to just join in.

I then look down at my portly little tummy, and go and go cry into a McDonalds instead....

you big noob ๐Ÿ™„
It's for if he falls; that crotch opens up into a delta wing when he spreads his legs and he can glide to safety

Yep, I was sucking my teeth and thinking "ooophhh,his poor knees" all the time.

Also "trespass" and "reckless endangerment of life" were recurring thoughts...

Still, pretty cool!

If you like Parkour, there is a French Film with loads of it in: District 13.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_13

It stars David Belle, who is the founder of Parkour.

It was quite a few years ago now, but there was a time when quite a few of those big stone statues at the top of those buildings fell off into Trumpington Street, in a slightly high breeze.

Not as strongly glued down as everyone had thought....
