does anyone know what the French word for jumping between buildings is?

been trying to look it up on the internet but cant find it cos i dont know what it's called!

i searched for building jumping and jumping between buildings and got loads about people jumping off buildings to kill themselves! how delightful.

Check out any Dvinsk Clan videos you can find, they do some great stuff :) It kicked off at uni in 2002/2003, my favourite was extreme fence walking :D Walking along a round-tube rail 2.5" wide with sudden death drops either side, even better after a night out! :lol: I remember wiping out when running along a line of bicycle securing rails in Preston...solar plexus impact for one! :lol:

There's a scene in the most recent James Bond (Casino Royale) at the start. The guy running from Bond is the french guy who started the whole Parkour thing. It's pretty amazing just how strong/agile you have to be :)

Sebastian Foucain would be the black man you're talking about :)

James - There are a couple of programmes from Channel 4 for sale on DVD, the most famous of which was called "Jump London". You'll be able to get it from Amazon and the likes. I'd let you borrow mine, but I don't want to :lol:
