Oopsie, my bad.

 

[Mr.Fantastic]

Thats just some guy wearing a costume jumping around like an idiot.

 

[floatindolphin]

It's great! Bet the last poster is an epic free runner... ^^^^

 

[Efour]

lol id pay to see someone doing that around St. Pauls some time... If hes reading this Email me !

 

[Lysander]

Hilarious.

 

['Wes]

An eagle in a city like that...Does not compute.

 

[Diagro]

Thats amazing, I wish i could do even 10% of that.

 

[pitchfork]

It's pretty damn good but he hasn't a shade on some of the professional freerunners.

 

[Azza]

Underwhelming to say the least... surprised he didn't get picked up by the cops for looking like a loon!

 

[Freefaller]

It's pretty damn good but he hasn't a shade on some of the professional freerunners.

I like the idea it was taken from though - however you're right, the pros are beyond belief - though I'd be happy to be at that level!

oh come on, it's still pretty good - better than most people on here could do. Heck, I see people at the gym who can't even do a chin up, let alone pull their body up a drain pipe / over a wall. Let's not be too OTT...

 

[Lysander]

But what's the point of it?

 

[Freefaller]

But what's the point of it?

A bit of fun? It's actually a rather good workout for the body too.

 

[MoNkeE]

A bit of fun?

Never underestimate the average OcUK'ers ability to disregard fun and acquire srsness.

Oh damn right, I would love to be at that level. I used to do a bit of parkour because I had some mates who were really into it, and even the basic stuff is difficult. I couldn't keep up with it no way.

 

[Freefaller]

I'm good at falling from heights! I've got a lot of upper body strength, and explosive power, I haven't got the guts to do flips though. When I was a kid in France we used to challenge one another to get from one side of the park to the other trying to stay off the ground as much as possible - it was so fun. I'd be kicked out if I tried that now... and probably hurt myself!

Here is the making of video:

I think the guy says he is part of a freerunning team.

Also they say his odd run is based on the way the character in the game runs.

Impressive, nice touch with the Assassins Creed angle and very good camera work/editing.

One thing that always amuses me in Freerunning videos is when they do backflip/wall jump etc... on something that is totally unnecessary that would have been quicker to run around.
