Looks like a street performer, anyway, some very cool stuff in there.

I posted this a couple of months ago (see thread labled "prehistoric parkour" , on page 6 of this topic).  It's from a documentary movie called "Gizmo" fromthe eighties.  The film was a collage of old clips from inventors, performers, and characters.  Most of the footage was pre-ww2.  I was blown away by this guys skill and strength.  I think someone recognized one of the buildings from New York.

Pre-WW2? Wow.

I had no idea David Belle was that old.


Do you happen to know if there was any more to that segment in the documentary?

There was a little intro at the beginning of the guy and his Mom before he ran outside.  There was a lot of other cool stuff of human fly type guys doing handstands on skyscrapers, and a cool sequence of a guy running on top, and then diving off of a subway train into the bay.
