Russian Parkour

A long time ago – in a previous incarnation of my blog, I wrote a post about parkour (or parcour), the sport of free-running, or using urban landscapes as a running, jumping and leaping playground. There was a Channel 4 programme, and a film by Luc Besson inspired by the ‘parkouristes’ and some small websites dedicated to the sport – mainly in France. Today, someone sent me this link (google video) to any amazing Russian video, where the harsh landscape of a Russian town become the plaything of three very talented parkour runners. Excellent stuff – with a cool soundtrack, if anyone can help me identify the rap tracks played in this, I’d be grateful.

If found another google video – here - which gives a bit of background to the French guys…
