We did that stuff in high school before it had a name.
it is amazing how you can just sit there with those guys jumping over you like that
aw bummer. the website is suspended. :(
LiveWire is my favorite
She is quite skilled in the art of not screaming whilst people jump over her!
hmmm, kinda old here in europe ;)
still very cool though.
u look cool barefoot …
Love the yamakasi!
on the 57th take
She’s pretty cute.
Dont forget the 2 “banlieu 13″ movies
So basically, someone in France went on a Jackie Chan movie binge years ago, then decided to say he created it by making up the name parkour for it… ;-p (that’s the cliff notes version of the history of parkour) ;-)
Yes, the website is down for now. But check back soon and it should be up and running. Sorry about that.
love parkour. used to parkour my self too:)
Parkour have also bin an “addon” for Martal arts as Shrin kampf and Muai thai =D
Brooklyn banks<333333333333
Parkour will always rock…
I used to do that stuff years ago … like in the second grade, during recess lol.
I have rarely seen women practicing Parkour…infact I have never seen one…just heard that they do…and are called traceuses
There’s a second Banlieue 13 movie now? Thanks for the heads up!
This is pretty stupid. These guys are jumping over rails, even I could do that.
yeah, ultimatum. no english subs as of yet. :(
Long before Parkour became a soul sport Jackie Chan showed us how it is done.

these guys suck balls
To date I had seen parkour only in tv ads — a lot of them, indeed, and before I even heard of any “life style” relating to it. Which shows the vulnerability of urban subcultures to be vampirized by corporate indoctrination practices. At least on me parkour didn’t deliver any message (if it had any) before it was previously framed by the advertisement. If a guy like Poster Boy, a New Yorker as well, is in such control of his communication that nobody can reframe HIM outside his own message, other actors of the underground scene should be more aware of what they are doing. Otherwise Parkour is just cheap acrobatics, a step below circus show.
Um… website fail?
Their website hasn’t been maintained in a while…
I thought it was called ” Free Running”
Isn’t Free Running when you mix acrobatics with the Parkour?
that’s tricking, free running is a translation for parkour
Ah ok, (:
Lol. They didn’t pay their bill. XD
I guess these guys can’t skate.
they are the same movement and more on a french moovie @ bonlieu 13 @, Thanks a lot
hey i was going to watch this video a 2nd time but something painfully snapped in my shoulder as i reached for the remote mouse clicker thing. so maybe tomorrow after i get some rest, because i think i also just threw out my back typing this. and, i fear that i’m probably about to spring my wrist by pressing that ‘post comment’ button, but here goes…
pretty cool stuff
yes, yes it is, and i know that because I am amazing and modest
You know, if Rocketboom just dissapeared, I’d honestly be very dissapointed. I love their videos, always engaging and veyr informative - whatever the subseries.
Twisted Traceurs was represented in this video!!!! Thats Me (marcos) and my bro (anthony)…. surfer hair and ponytail guys! LOL. If you like whats here check out our youtube
sooo now you hate yourself?
cool video! i like the way it came out
very well done!
Well done Ella & Co.
Lol. Figure of speech. I diddn’t even get first anyway.
parkour looks like so much fun
but i’m a skinny white kid T_T
loving these videos!
Hey, Rocketboom, whats the lastest status on Molly. Is this another….FAIL…whats happening now????
haha…you made me Lol!!
no shit. You’re on the internet. we all are.
This video is so fail.
She firstly pronounced Parkour wrong, needs more emphasis on the park. The second pronunciation of Tracuers is totally fucked up, probably another shitty english translation.
Parkour? Jackie Chan has been doing that for years.
she reminds me of my french ex gf
These guys are all complete peckers. Parkour should be about getting from A to B fast. If you’re only interested in elegant movements and spinning around in the air just call it what it is; GYMNASTICS and stop fagging up the place with your wannabe ‘urban sport’.
Well done Pyro. Good job of explaining yourself. ;)
Translated: When i jerk off, I pretend that my right hand is speaking french to me. “Ooh-lah-lah, stroke it faster, el faggoto!”
good call
Parkour gangbang in alleyway on bitch that looks like that gurl from spiderman
That would be Kirsten Dunst. :-)
Give her at good hard parkour! :-P
Timothiess: If you indeed are French, you sure do fall into the typical stereotype..
Give it a break gosh, it’s a translation.
urban ninjas — sounds way cooler than that french junk
i had heard parkour actually originally developed in veitnam. native prisoners trained and conditioned themselves to take on huge jumps in order to escape. don’t know how true that is, but it sounds better than just some french gymnast guys doing flips. but in its most basic sense, its just outdoor gymnastics - without safety equipment.
Nope.
I usually call it urban acrobatics, but that’s more freerunning then parkour
ella should get her feet checked out after walking around BK bridge bare foot, that place always reeks of piss
“Traceuse” phonetically:
Tr-ah-suh-z
not:
Trae-soos
And “traceuse” is pronounced exactly the same as “traceuses,” the “s” at the end is silent.
Ella FTW! :)
EPIC! Glad someone brought some light onto this subject for NYC.
omg! Ninja’s!
Pronunciation nazi over here!
What a huge fucking head.
“As far as I know there are people out there that train that we don’t even know about.” FTW
[...] also like to know, so I am putting it out there as well. Here is a parkour video he got from Rocketboom.com. This video is okay and shows some pretty neat stuff from some NYC locals. However, you have to [...]
Wow, this is so awesome:) Great video, looks like a lot of fun!

they’re fucking ninjas then
Ella you continue to astound me on bringing the most delightful stories to attention. You are a true ambassador for NYC. A Patron Saint of the street arts of NY.
Is there a difference between parkour and free running??Cause IMO hoping over a bar then hoping back over the bar seems kinda pointless. Ive been doing parkour unintentionally since i was 10 but I always thought of the process of it being “To get from one place to the enxt in the msot easiest yet stylish way possible…”
i think it’s a great sport and might be fun too:p! they’re like spidermen! we have a parkour team in kuwait as well and they’re as good as those fellas over here xp!
I am a ginger parkourist, AKA Ginja Ninja
she is hot!
ITS NOT A SPORT OR WILL EVER BE ONE!
Very interesting and would love to participate. Could have done it … when I was younger. I was very in shape back then.
u r a stupid cunt
District B13.
Parkour is all about efficiency, speed and flow.
Free Running involves tricks and stunts.
this is a waste of time and life……………
kewl!
I have the sam trousers as the guy at 00:40 :P
Parkour is about efficiency, Free running is about style
WOO WOO, yeah this is under the Brooklyn Bridge, my hs near here
NINJAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She’’s fairly cute, shame she’s a ranga
my litle sister is all about this suff! i hate that we live in augusta, she has no one to train with
great interview, very interesting.
Ella: doing aussies proud in NYC :)
CARALHO…
Being incredibly in shape and having fun? You’re right, watching videos on the internet about something amazing and bashing on it is a better choice.
its pyro and vert!
NYPK-miss you all!
in a nutshell, yes, that is correct. haha
mary jane parker and toothy are cool
what would a ranga be?
Ranga is a ginger
For some awesome parkour in a movie genre, check out the French film “District b13″. Soooo cooool.
