Take a look at that guy, damn. The video is kind of crappy so it's hard to tell if it has been edited much/at all but it's still pretty cool either way.

I could do that.

Please feel free to try. The higher the building the better.

Yeah, it's like Yamakasi or something like that.

I'll search my cache when I get home and see if I can find the vid. Then I'll host it myself.

Bandwidth Limit Exceeded = bad link, bad boy and bad post.

====================
Don't click here

if it is the yamakasi type stuff, then it also has another name (yamakasi being the french 'troupe' who originally were practicing it prompting director Luc Besson of Leon fame to make a movie called 'Yamakasi' about the french guys raising money for a ransom or some such shite - haven't seen it but the jumping around and running up walls stuff is damn cool.)

Oh forget to say the other name LOL - well it is also called 'free running'

I am actually about to start a uni multimedia project based around this stuff so any links or cool resources anybody finds then please post back here.

I can't seem to find the official yamakasi web page (not teh film webpage but the group webpage) maybe it was shut down since I last looked (about a couple of years back now lol)

nice. Prove that the french are mad, but nice.

tee hee! it's like the french version of jackass.

these guys do similar (some even better) stunts, with key differences:

1 - train themselves for the stunt
2 - decide whether or not they could, in fact, pull it off
3 - try to avoid pain

i suppose the major distinction is that one group uses skill, the other stupidity.

It reminds me to watch the bonuses of the Yamakasi DVD.

TP:
reitsma: if you really wanna see some French guys in the vein of JackAss, watch the movie called "Les 11 commandements" with Michael Youn and his friends. The team of 6 guys did ~15 weirdo jokes including dancing with a "tutu" in a russian zero-gravity plane ( they were sick to death due to the hyperbolic trajectory of the plane ), being in underwears and waiting to be shot by a soccer player and a tennis woman ( the balls going at ~180Km/h ) , renting a house and tape all the doors, windows, etc.. to finally fill it with 1m of water and have a party, or a contest to find out who'll get arrested in the minimum of time.
