Friday Night Video 5-22-09

I've always been fascinated by "Free Running". If you're not familiar with it, here's the wiki article. If you saw the new(ish) James Bond movie, "Casino Royale", you witnessed an excellent Free Running scene in the beginning of the flick. Last night my wife and I were watching the History Channel special "How Bruce Lee Changed the World". In it, there was a brief testimonial by a runner talking about how Free Running was highly influenced by Bruce Lee's philosophies (the famous "Be water, my friend" idea, among others - economy of motion, etc).

So here's a video of some free running for you. Man, it looks like fun, but is one of those things I'm going to go ahead and predict I will never be doing. It's too bad - it looks like it will be a vital skill to have during the zombie uprising. Their ukemi ain't bad either.
