Last month I discovered the facsinating world of parkour. What amazes me the most about parkour is to see how it has evolved throughout the past some 80 years.

Ah, nothing beats waking up to some fresh parkour in the morning.

Have a lovely day!

Le Parkour

While watching random videos on YouTube today, I discovered parkour; a French recreational activity in which the participants (traceurs) traverse urban structures by running, jumping, etc. in the most fluid way possible.

In the past few years parkour has evolved from a recreational sport to an astonishing art form and a way of life. I mean, watch how these four gentlemen get to the bank!

Have a great weekend!
