About 5 minutes in, thank you for finally putting this argument of pk vs. freerunning to rest in a documentary.  Yes there is a difference but the ultimate goal is to have fun!  Great stuff!

Did you say it was about evolution?Huh? Undecided
I don't think religious beliefs should be involved with parkour.

What?

evolution isn't a religion....



anyway

AMAZING VIDEO! Absolutely spot on, seriously you did such a fantastic job. The mixture of all the different personalities and the background everything fit perfectly. I can not even imagine how long you worked your butt off on this thing. Incredible job! I cant wait to show this video to members of the Parkour club at my school. Thank you!  Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

evolution is a word with a similar meaning to progress. i believe you misinterpreted the usage.

Let's be done with that convo. Use PMs if you want to "settle" it.

Anyway, awesome documentary. It's a good one for beginners.

Hi All,

If you are having some issues with viewing the video, we tried to make it broadly accessible.

You will need Flash to view the video ... if you can see YouTube, you should be able to see the video.

If you are getting an error message please post in the Point B technical support forum at

http://pointbmovie.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=5

and we will try to figure it out.

We are still working on some streaming for the video, so performance/robustness should improve.

Glad you all are liking the documentary, I know Mike worked really hard to get it right.

I second that notion. Such a brilliant documentary deserves to be spread around to eveyrone. Kudos to Michael Alosi.

Oh No!!  haha.  Don't have time to watch it yet but it sounds similar to the idea for a documentary I will be shooting in a while.  But that just got pushed back to a few years from now anyways -- plus the more positive films out there about parkour the better.  Congrats on completing it.  I look forward to watching it.

I had zero problems loading the video, in full quality too. If you want it to load faster right click on the video and select switch to low quality.

My question is, can we download it somehow? I want to burn it to a DVD so I only have to load it once.

I always face north, therefore I have no guides other than my body and mind. By always facing north I am always moving forward and up, regardless of the obstacle in my path.
