Last night I showed the gang part of a movie called Yamakasi It’s about a Paris subculture group who scale apartment buildings, jump from rooftop to rooftop, and perform assorted acrobatic stunts.

It turns out they actually exist. They call their discipline “Le Parkour” and have groups in France and Belgium, and several badly
translated web sites. There are even Parkour videos up on some Nike site.

Right on. I love it when random extreme sports like this pop up. It feels like humanity is evolving for the better.

UPDATE: There’s a Russian group, too! Do you think will this way of extreme succeed?

Allmusic.com is a great site.

Did you know that there are only six degrees of separation between Progressive Country and Glitch Techno ?
