If you happened to read Global Frequency this week, you might be interested to hear that Le Parkour is not something Warren Ellis made up — it’s a real little urban subculture, originating in France but spreading to England, Russia, and no doubt other places.
If you didn’t read Global Frequency, Le Parkour is a sort of extreme athletic activity that involves doing incredibly foolhardy things on rooftops without a net. If you’ve seen those Nike commercials, that’s Le Parkour. And of course Luc Besson’s gotten his hands into it. Cool looking stuff.

“Some advices:
– Train everyday.
– Good shoes are essential!!
– …don’t forget that you are not a professional
– Be careful with the police. They are quite cool over here but we don’t know about your country 😉
– Private properties usually have massive dogs, and they are not as cool. :-(“
Some cool videos on the le-parkour.com site, as well.
