An Unbelievable Video

kerbnix · 16-12-2010, 10:15 AM

This is like a real life Jackie Chan film.

This is probably the most inspiring video I have seen on youtube. It's been up for less than a month and almost has a million views. I would love to see it get a million before the year is out.

Here's a little backstory: The young men that made this video are all from a background of street culture. They are not trained performers. Whilst some members are martial artists, break dancers and skaters, the training for this video was done just by themselves. It was shot with zero budget by their friend and between them, they edited it.

I know some people will feel tempted not to watch it, but just do it. These guys are taking human evolution to the next level. I promise, you won't even know where the 8 minutes went.

Bumping because it's worth the watch! It's just unbelievable stuff.

Nice.

The police will probably be trained to free-run soon, I hear they already are in France, or maybe it was a myth?.

I'm so glad my son never took that up for a hobby

Very brave talented lads though, but a tip to the one eating - he'll end up with a stomach ulcer if he's not careful

Thank you for sharing this

Let me first say very talented acrobats and it was entertaining.

First I dont believe this was made on zero budget.
Second there is a reason it has had nearly a million views in a month.

They'll have to learn to run first.

The next frontier of evolution is the mind.....not gymnastics....imo

I'm very close to the guys that made this. It was definitely zero budget

My friends are all very motivated individuals and they have earned their million views.

Yes they definitely will make a new leap (so to speak) in human evolution.

Other police forces aren't so keen.

Health and safety laws would probably be very restrictive with teaching police how to freerun. There's so much red tape around it.

The marines on the other hand.....

I saw this at a friend's house a few weeks ago. Amazing shite. Now my friend wants to learn how to do this and has enrolled in some gymnastics classes LOL

Anyways, this style of movement kind of reminds me of the anime Air Gear
