Russian parkour (urban extreme gymnastics)

Mon Feb 20, 2006 11:28 pm

This has to be one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen. The camera work isn’t great and the sound mixing could use some attention but if these guys aren’t in the movie business damn it they should be.

High Res.

Low Res.

Indeed it is, though I’m very curious to know what is said between the two guys on the mobile phone at the end of the clip and those little chunks of text the appear at the bottom in a couple of sections. If anyone knows what they’re saying/knows what language it is, could you please tell me?

(I know it’s called ‘Russian Parkour’ but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re speaking Russian, hence why I’ve asked if anyone actually knows what language they’re speaking).

Haha, I can't wait to see this video next time I get on a computer at school, which will probably be Thursday.

The way you were describing it on MSN, It doesn't sound like I'll be disapointed.

If you like the stunts in action movies you defiantly won’t be, the stuff these guys are doing greatly resembles what you see in the movies with one minor (by which I mean major) difference. It’s real! As opposed to being faked with things like CGI, cables, blue stages etc.

That's crazy! It would definately take a balance of physical strength and mental strength too. You wouldn't be able to have any doubt as you headed for a wall, cause if you hesitated, it could definately be painful.

Summary: GOOD VID!

Yeah, it's Russian.
Basically, the little conversation in the end is like, the kid running goes "Hey, it's me. Oleg." Then he asks if he'll come, or something like that. Then the guy with the black t-shirt goes "No, sorry. Not today, I can't."
Blah blah blah. Nothing very significant. I wasn't exactly paying attention to be able to say word for word.

By the way, that french rap is awful. Guhhh

Ohh well, I had hoped it was something interesting. Thanks for telling us CM. And you really don't like French do you?
