Product Description

The art of going from point A to point B as effeciently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body. Have you ever woken up uninspired to start your day, knowing exactly where it leads and where it ends? have you ever dreamt for the air of adventure, the sensation of freedom from life's predictable constrictions? Your search ends here as we delve into a dream that's lived as a true reality. Until now, only the surface of Free Running has begun to draw the eye of the public as a new generation of athletic artists reveal both themselves and their art. The environment, their canvas to paint a breath taking and beautiful picture of graceful rooftop leaps and obstacles overcome with supreme ease and elegance. This documentary gives you the chance to see the world from a unique and invigorating perspective of Free Running and offers an enlightening insight into it's remarkable background, influence and uses in real life situations. An experience like no other, it will leave you with a fresh appreciation of life and open your mind to see your surroundings in a whole new context.


Synopsis

Documentary that looks at the art of Parkour, in which participants make a series of breathtaking leaps over rooftops and various obstacles. The basic concept is to move through space in the most efficient manner possible, and in the fastest time. Though aesthetically similar, this practice differs from Free Running in that it doesn't allow for showy acrobatic manoeuvres; it's more about economy of movement than creative expression. Done well, both techniques should appear graceful, effortless, and inspire a sense of liberation.

5.0 out of 5 stars parkour documentary, 15 May 2008
I'd heard of parkour before but wasn't sure exactly what it was. When I spotted the name on here I thought "why not?" and bought it.
It turned out to be a great buy! I can definately say I have a much better 'parkour knowledge' now. It was well explained and interesting to hear about the various different aspects.
It kept me entertained throughout with a nice balance between informative and some very impressive action scenes.
Whether you're a parkour fanatic or someone who's never heard of it, it's certainly a worthwhile watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Parkour: Way of Life, 23 April 2008
I thought it was a really great documentary on Parkour. I wouldn't have done it any differently. Its got a good combination of interviews from the public and Parkour people. I love the soundtrack and also the fact that they teach you some parkour. Its a very enlightening AND fun documentary to watch! great stuff!!
