Trivia:

Sebastien Foucan was required to repeat his incredible 180ft high Millennium Stadium jump sequence after a cameraman failed to capture his first effort. He duly obliged with no problems.

Before commenting, do some research.

For starters, Sebastien Foucan is not the "Originator" of Parkour. Big name etc yes, but originator no.

And I quote: "a load of other "Free Runners" who are not as impressive as the originator and do nothing more than sort of hang off some kerbs and so on!" If you had actually listened to the film, rather than staring inanely at the television you would have seen those other freerunners trying out a new technique of the forward flip to cat leap, which Sebastien said was "impossible"...

The script did not say that this was a "Massive sport", I'm fairly sure it said it was a growing sport, 10 people instead of 2 doing something is growth, but the fact of the matter is that its thousands of people doing it instead of a small minority. All over the globe, as the film showed viewers.

Have you tried to do any parkour? The reason behind the "boring talking" is that there is a philosophy behind it, getting over your fears, working out what your body can and cant do etc etc.

Get outside and try it sonny.
