FIRST THINGS FIRST, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

I was watching a show on the National Geographic Channel the other day and it was talking about the science of “free running.” I had never heard of it before and apparently I’m pretty behind the times! For those of you in the same boat with me, a quick Google search shows that free running is:

“A form of urban acrobatics in which participants, known as free runners, use the city and rural landscape to perform movements through its structures.”

The wordy definition does not do it justice so here is a YouTube video from the World Freerunning Championships in London.

Again, this is not for amateurs. These people take running (if you can even call it that) to a whole new level, and the stunts they can pull off on city streets are simply incredible! Just thought you may get a kick out of it like I did.
