In case I haven’t mentioned it. I want to be Danny Macaskill. I kid you not. This man is a complete bad ass on a bicycle. In fact, before I saw this video I thought most of this stuff was impossible. I wouldn’t even believe it now, except that I don’t think the state of computer generated graphics is quite as good as all this.
Anyway, check it out as Danny does some of the most wicked bike stunts you’ve ever seen. And of course if anyone has seen more like this let me know!

I love to watch acrobats doing all sorts of amazing things, like Parkour and martial arts… but I’ve never seen one person bring so much together as Damien Walters. He is absolutely amazing!
This guy can jump in one spot and do crazy flips, he can run literally up walls, he can to high flying acrobatics – and when he’s done with all that, it looks like he could kick some serous ass. Now, that’s what I’M talking about! Let’s get it on!

Good Lord! I’ve watched a LOT of wrestling in my days, but the junk we get here in the good old US of A just doesn’t compete with those crazy Mexicans who literally risk life and limb! One of these days I’ve got to get down to ol’ Mexico to watch a REAL wrestlin’ match!
Oh, by the way, my favorite is when the big guy is fighting the little guy, and the little guy is spinning around the big guy like he was the Tasmanian Devil from the cartoons. It’s muy fantastico! BTW, I wonder what the annual death toll is from Mexican wrestling? Cause it’s got to be HIGH!

You know, each morning when I wake up and go to get dressed I’m like, “Man, this whole getting dressed thing sure is boring. I wish there were a way to spice things up a bit!” Well, if you’re like me, have I got the answer for your daily hum-drums!
How about this? Next time you need to put your jeans on, have a couple of buddies hold them, climb up onto the second floor and jump down into them! Don’t worry about any potential bodily harm from this methodology… surely the pants will protect you!

What is the easiest way to define Parkour? How about this. The world, is literally, your playground.
Now, Wikipedia defines Parkour as follows:
Parkour (sometimes also abbreviated to PK) or l’art du déplacement (English: the art of movement) is an activity with the aim of moving from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body. It is meant to help one overcome obstacles, which can be anything in the surrounding environment—from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls—and can be practiced in both rural and urban areas. Parkour practitioners are referred to as traceurs, or traceuses for females.
It’s also known as Free Running, but if you really want to understand what it’s all about, you just have to see it in action.
