Not exactly a recent video, but still a great one nonetheless. Danny Pack is a traceur in Reading, UK. Here's his own words as seen on the Vimeo video page :

"A short documentation of my parkour, filmed through a single days solo training in Reading. I am an average traceur - I train two to three times a week, and at the point this video was made had been doing so for 5 years. I've included the mistakes for a few reasons - to show that they happen; to show that parkour teaches you to control your movement even in the event of a potential fall; and so that I (and others) might learn something from them, to further improve our movement in the future. One point I really wanted to demonstrate is how well parkour conditions oneself to deal with faults and problems in our movement - whether this be through repetition and practice to improve upon something, or the overall level of competence we gain so as to be able to control our movement even if something does go wrong. I like to think this is somewhat of a reference for what the average traceurs solo training might look like, though obviously I'll only ever experience my own."

great video, man! 
 
i would actually like to see more videos like these; with practice sessions and slip-ups as opposed to the typical youtube videos with the strings of perfect movements and landings. 
 
definitely serves as inspiration/motivation for us beginners!

I wish I lived closer to the city - my town isn't bad for training but nothing beats a city, especially a big one like Chicago. 
 
lol I'd settle for that one parking garage structure he was messing around on for a few minutes - those vaults onto a wall looked really fun, but they don't work quite as well on a vertical wall.

That was so sick when he tic taced onto that metal box. That was a really nasty move.

That was fantastic. That's how training should be.
