REPOST: Watch this Parkour video if you want the experience but not the broken bones

Anyone who watches this video will surely have a glimpse of what it feels like to do parkour. This post from USA Today features James Kingston of parkour group Ampisound with a camera fixed on his head while he performed the extreme sport. 

                                                 

How is this not a video game yet?

James Kingston is a British member of the Parkour group Ampisound. In this video, he fixed a camera onto his head and filmed himself jumping and leaping around Cambridge, England like some sort of flying squirrel.

My favorite part about the video is that they didn’t use some dubstep-bass-drop insanity that every other extreme sport video uses now, and for that, I applaud them.

Also, does this guy have any cartilage in his knees at this point? This can’t be good for the joints.
