platforms. What if you could jump across London in one fell swoop. Leaping between buildings, jumping over rooftops, rushing through the capital as if no one - not even bricks and mortar - could get in your way.Sebastien Faucan, the co-founder of Free Running (also known as Le Parkour) and his team attempt to do just that and conquer one of the world's best-known capital cities. Like fictional superheroes Batman and Spider-Man, the team performs death-defying, stomach-churning stunts as they literally leap from rooftop to rooftop. In this unique event, the team of French Free Runners has been given unprecedented access to some of London's most famous landmarks, including The Royal Albert Hall, Tate Modern and Somerset House.
Advantages: Good for sport freaks and people interested in parkour or free running Disadvantages: not everyone likes watching people doing risky things

Do you like extreme sport? Hate walking around and waiting in queues? Do you like risk and adrenaline? Well then this film is for you!!
For those who have never heard of le parkour or free running before: Parkour is about getting from point A to B as quick and as effective as possible, no matter what obstacles there are on your way. Free running is almost the same but the time is not important, rather the style and elegance that you show while making your way.
Well if you have seen Casino Royal (most people did) you can surely remember the scene when James Bond was chasing a guy; and now you remember that this was pretty amazing and you would never be able to do that.

To be honest I tried free running myself for a few months not only that it is really difficult but also dangerous (I had two minor injuries) and to be good a lot of training is required.
If you are interested in sport and would like to see something amazing watch the documentary about free running

This is real life, there are no safety nets, just death-defying and high-rise jumps between some of London's most famous landmarks. The team from France, co-founded by Sebastien Foucan, have been allowed to use the Royal Albert Hall, Tate Modern and Somerset House to conquer London in this amazing, breath-taking event.
