Yep, that's real. This video missed out the beginning where you saw the people training in their gym. I think they're french, if I remember correctly. They were jumping around the rooftops in London, England. Just a little snippet of fact there!

 ! Paradoxbox had previously said that there were guys at his dojo who were able to ukemi smoothly from amazing heights, and I was curious to see what it looked like. Well, I think I know now... EvilLion, are these guys the French group known as the "Yamakazi"?

http://www.urbanfreeflow.com/Check these guys out. Also search for "Parkour" on the internet or in filesharing programs and you'll find some more great stuff. I believe it is french for "the route/path."

This fad originated in France about 3-4 years ago. They meet to recon & establish a route through the city (it isn't random but carefully planned) then they go for it. Seems to be spreading through Europe - those wacky Euro's.
Great stuff - real-life Spidermen.

Only because there will be kids who see these videos online and say "hey, I can do that!!" With proper training and a stable mind, this hobby/lifestyle can be just as safe as Martial Arts. Even safer considering you don't have to worry about another person trying to hurt you "with control.".
Honestly I think that this is one of the coolest things I've seen. I would love to have a place to be able to do things like this.

If they're the ones I think, they have actually existed for longer than that but became famous only a few years ago indeed, due to a movie featuring them. I hear the movie was crap, by the way (apart from their stunts, I guess...).

I'm impressed, and I don't impress easily!
Not a lot of margin for error in some of those moves!
It comes down to the classic youthful balance: Balls versus Brains. They have too much of one and not enough of the other!
