I completely *dig* this stuff. I have a host of vids by some guy on an old hard drive, lemme see if I can dig them up and upload them somewhere.

That'd be awesome. Most of the David Belle stuff I've found is lower VIDEO quality, and Christian's stuff is always super freaking short. _________________ And he piled upon the whale's white hump, the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race.

Ah okay, it was Joe Eigo. Something tells me there were more vids than this, but in this directory four vids are going up:
http://www.paragonsigma.com/tempuploads/joeeigo
and also a street fighter third strike vid, a smash bros melee vid, and um, me doing a dance back in high school. >_> because I saw them on the drive and wanted to get them on my current drive <_<
EDIT: aha! the old site I got the from used to require a password to get all of them (which I got and then presumably got the rest of the files which I can't find anymore) but this is apparently no longer the case.

EDIT THE SECOND: This stuff isn't precisely parkour, by the way, but it's mostly appealing in the same way.

I went to go post this on the .org, and I found out that someone else posted the video back in August.
I'm just surprised the guys in the video didn't bring up the "Dungeons and Dragons" cartoon. _________________ Avatar artwork by Robert DeJesus. |

I only just learned about parkour yesterday. Interesting phenomenon. Apparently the upcoming game Assassin's Creed actually draws on it (and/or its offshoot, free running) for some of its character animation. Lots of dodging, weaving, and leaping through crowds and obstacles, apparently. Looks pretty cool.

I dunno if anyone's seen these before, but a friend of mine linked to this on a mailing list I'm on:
Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series
Here's episode 1. There are 11 out so far. The link above goes to the main page of the guy doing them.

| Is it kosher here to link to torrent sites? Because there's a fantastic South Park one I've been using for a long time. |
