Yow. When I first saw the above video I was like, “Who the hell’s been following me around on the weekends and filming me?” Then I was like, “Oh, that’s not me. It’s a guy named Damien Walters. Also, I tend to sit quite still most weekends.” At any rate, this is Parkour meets Ninjitsu, meets advanced gymnastics (the kind used in fights between Ninjas and Pirates, not the Olympic kind).

Wow. So that’s what Japan was like hundreds of years ago. Neat!
Gymkata making a come back :)
not as much air, but still like this guy, esp the live mirror’s edge and wall run tutorial.

Ahhh, to be young and in shape.
Bad ass video. Great moves on that guy.
But I really want to know if there is an out-takes video showing some pain. :)
Very talented and hard working.
But it’s free running, not parkour.
95% of his moves would be eliminated/changed to something else (less flashy), if it was parkour.
Holy cow, that is crazy. I was thinking that there were some camera tricks at the beginning.
hey in france it’s a “Parkour” see david belle in “Banlieue 13″ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x98jCBnWO8w
or the yamakasi in yamakasi movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhUAIEJfRpA&feature=related
Impressive. A real, live action hero.
If you’re a gymnast yourself I’ll believe what you said in your first couple of sentences, otherwise you can stop pretending, you may be able to do some things Damien Walters can, I’m not disputing that, you might just not be as good.
In any case nice vid and keep training, we all one day might be able to fly down a straight spinning backflips and flying into a triple spin … Then again you can’t look after your spouse or your sons and daughters when your lying in a hospital because of some silly stunt you just had to pull. If you’re single? Go for it, there’s no limit and no added responsibilities other than your own life.
Train hard, train fast, then train harder and make sure the moves you do, if done wrong, won’t affect the lives of people who depend on you.
