That is amazing. Those guys have to get hired out as stunt men in the movies and make some money.

Reminds me of 20 years ago setting off fireworks on a roof. I walked quickly away from the fireworks to get away, and I walked right off the roof.

It was a ranch house, so only 9 feet to the ground. I landed on my feet, was uninjured but it knocked the wind out of me.

I think my crotch and knees just exploded watching thoses guys. I used to have dreams about doing that kind of stuff. For me, a 3 foot retaining wall is a high height to jump from.

holy hernai, Batman :icon_eek:

I spent a couple of years doing construction and roofing in my youth, got quite nimble at climbing up and down buildings. Now I'm chicken shit, feeling mortal!

and that reminds me of the time in high school we were drinking beer on the roof of my friend's parents' 3 story house when my older brother reached over to pass me a splif, lost his balance and silently disappeared over the edge into the darkness. whilst simultaneously in shock and wondering how I would break the tragic news to my folks we heard a faint call from below.
in his "relaxed" state he had hit and rolled off the 1st story back porch awning, landed on his ass in the backyard, dazed, confused and miraculously and completely unharmed.

Anyone see the connection: "Le Parkour, (pulling a spiderman)"?

it was invented by inner city kids as a way of evading capture from the police. I'd like to see them do that carrying a 27" Trinitron.
