Alright, I know I am going to get reamed for this one. It is a fun video and yet totally horrible for the idea of Parkour. Look at them! They are climbing all day on buildings and roofs that they are trespassing on. Some of these shots are even on a church, you're showing some really good disrespect here.
I think many of us in the Parkour community have tried hard, very hard to get rid of this trespassing and uncaring attitude in the Parkour community and yet some of the most skilled professionals do this all the time. Love the video don't get me wrong. But this is a perfectly good way to show how BAD traceurs can be. Also, don't get me started on the ending of the video and how it shows how reckless we "traceurs" can be. I have had people come up to me in the park talking about this video and the ending...
[edit 3-2-12: 12:16] Got some great reactions both sides of the argument on this video. Thanks guys for the comments and arguments ;) That being said, I love this video and I also love the director behind the video, he went on to create Parkour Tour with Daniel Ilabaca. However my opinions remain the same. Go out and look at these athletes and their videos, you will see some of the same "shananigs" in other videos.
if they didnt want us running on buildings then why would they make the buildings runable
