If you were one of the few people who both liked Mirror’s Edge and didn’t get motion sickness (I consider myself one), then you may proceed to watching the video. If not, you might want to skip it, or at least get yourself in the mood by watching some speed runs. After that, you will probably be ready to watch this parkour expert do a bit of free running with a camera in-hand.
He also… does some dice tricks? I don’t remember that part from the game.
Update: What’s with the surprise ending?
[thanks for the tip, Mike]
The fact that he is holding the camera while doing all this is insane.
I’m pretty sure most of this shot in Bellevue/Renton, WA area. I recognized Bellevue Square Park for sure. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Nope, it’s definitely Seattle area. That was gasworks park with the big machinery and … meridian park in wallingford?
Man, I live here and I didn’t even think of that when I saw all that Gasworks stuff. Well spotted.
Heh. It was the first thing I saw and I rarely go there. some things just stick in your head. Meridien Park is so distinctive its hard to forget tho.
It kinda gives me the joy I had as a child; running, climbing, jumping all over the place.
Does anyone know the artist of the song playing?
It’s the Mirror’s Edge theme song, “Still Alive,” by something something.
this is what it feels like when girls put those little dogs in their purses and carry them around?
My head hurts now…
I think he just wanted to show off his mad skills (running, jumping, and dice of the like) in a style that didn’t make him look like a total douche, but you can’t fool this guy!
You have all got to see Luc Besson’s “District 13″ if you like parkour. It is 90 minutes of it, with guns.
Big guns.
