A New Urban Sport Called 'Parkour'

http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=sports&id=5002917

Feb. 4 - KGO - You might have noticed a new sport in the latest Bond film 'Casino Royale" as 007 chases a villain who jumps, flips, and does anything to escape Mr. Bond -- those jumps and flips have a name and it's called 'Parkour.' ABC7 had a chance to catch up with a local group that claims this sport is more of a way of life and the art of movement.

"a cross between Running from the police, and dancing", great.  way to educate people about parkour.

yes, this red haired fellow who was interviewed needs to put a little more thought into what he is talking about. also, lots of unnecessary freerunning movements and one thing that quickly comes to mind was the lack of good landings. back to basics...

you can also see some unsurity in their motions, stutter steps before drops and the like, just showing they dont really feel ready for what they're doing.

you see, if someone wanted to interview me, i wouldn't want them to ask me. Personally, i havent seen many good interviews. I think the media only choose people who dont know what tehy're saying or people who completely suck at pk to be interviewed.
