Damn.

Phil never ceases to amaze me. His strides are the most absurd things ever. His legs are pure titanium, I swear.

OH. MY. GOD.

0:53. how did he stride that? seriously?

and 1:11 shows Phil's rail sensitivity mastery

but yea, I think this video has some of the most fluid/precise yet huge/epic movement ever filmed in parkour. It's scary to realize that they can still get better.

Anyone else notice that that WASN'T shot fisheye?

I usually can keep myself from going insane over philly d vids by convincing myself that part of it is due to fisheye. But that was flat filmed and HUGE.

Thats... Not possible. Physics is pissed.

I'm sure it was a wide angle lens, look when kie jumps, and phil front 540's, yet kie jumps down right next to him, so its not that big.

Seriously! I mean, Kie had to jump, tuck, and roll to land that. Phil just basically walked over that gap, wasting no time landing in any way. Ridiculous. Just lands on one foot and continues running.

I couldn't help wondering what happens after the last scene?  I mean, does he drop and die or what?  Brilliant video.
