Parkour: The King of Extreme Sports

Not popular in the United States, the extreme sport of parkour has taken Europe by storm. This practice takes extreme concentration, focus, and skill to complete a task that which seems simple, is not at all what it seems. The primary goal of parkour is basically to get from Point A to Point B, wherever that may be. It sounds simple, but when demonstrated, is mind-blowing. (Prohibited in certain areas due to its risky nature, parkour SHOULD NOT BE TRIED AT HOME!) Check out David Belle for example, a parkour extraordinare. Check out this video and be amazed!
