Since we happen to be the number one parkour resource on the interwebz, we couldn’t not (double negative, you like that shit?) post this Carl Erik Rinsch-directed video of an animated CGI robot performing some crazy street jumping, inspired by a NIKE commercial.
Parkour is so badass, even robots are getting into the action.
A lot of you have heard of parkour, understandably, but what about Mirror’s Edge? It’s a video game for the PS3 and Xbox 360 that lets you jump through a virtual world using parkour skills. In fact, you are called a “tracer” in the game, similar to that of a traceur who runs up buildings. Like this guy. If you haven’t given the game a try, I suggest renting it after a good run. Oh, and be sure to practice your building jumping today. This weekend we’ll be working on combination moves and clearing gaps!
Gearfuse.com, one of the finest websites on the Internet, will now become a parkour-focused website. The move will enable Gearfuse to post more YouTube clips of Frenchmen jumping across buildings than ever before. Publisher Steve Rufer said that he is “grateful we could make this kind of switch. I recently moved to Paris and can’t stop jumping over women and baguettes! It’s intense! Parkour, baby!”
All employees will now be required to wear short shorts, running shoes and a headband while writing. A live video feed will show the writer shirtless at his desk, writing about the latest parkour news available. After all blogging is done for the day, said writers will have to continuously run for three miles while hopping over obstacles in the way.
The new era of Gearfuse is upon us! Let us rejoice and run!
