Russian Parkour Superhero

We found this over at the Fabulous Queerty website (who found it at Queer Day)... of a cute, young (amazingly fit) shirtless Russian kid scaling buildings like an action hero and jumping over roofs like a monkey! The video (although sort of annoying in the first few minutes, is strangely compelling). Needless to say, we've spent way too much time Googling the crazy/breathtaking/intriguing sport that Sébastien Foucan developed called, Parkour. (Perhaps what Capoeira was to 2005, Parkour will be it for 2006?) And as our beloved buddies over at Queerty point out: Yes, this is the same sport that you see in the beginning of the Madonna's Hung Up video.

Back in 2002, the BBC ran a fantastic promo featuring a shirtless muscled hunk leaping and tumbling over the rooftops of London in order to get home in time to watch BBC One. Take a look: http://thetvroom.com/p-bbc-one-2002-i.shtml
