Parkour

"Once you have passed an obstacle, you feel as if this obstacle is a part of you. You dominate it, and it no longer frightens you."

I first heard about Parkour from an article in In, an elegantly designed little 'zine I picked up at Soft Skull Shortwave in Brooklyn. Parkour, as best I could determine from the article, is a sport that primarily consists of jumping and climbing on things that aren't meant to be climbed and jumped on. Nothing terribly exciting, right?

Then I was checking out Kieron Gillen's workblog and found this.

It's a long clip, but it's also cool as aces, and well worth the download time. And I'm suddenly filled with the overwhelming urge to go leaping across the rooftops of Carroll Gardens.

Instead, I'm off to bed.
