  • molto meglio david belle!

  • sebastian foucan is better than Sebastian Foucan

  • Can't even watch this... Terrible quality.

  • This is Foucan amazing!

  • Jackie Chan, David Belle, and Sebastian, should give all of Japans Ninjas a couple bucks for saying they created what they did....lol

  • Jackie Chan parkour is the best.. X-D

  • What martial arts does he study?

  • Ahh. A descendant of Altair.

  • Free running isnt about whos top dog, its about freedom of movement and clarity of thought

  • Hold on Guys, argueing about the name itself isnt good. The more experience you get from moving the more wisdom will be given to you. As for me, 1 year ago i had a name to everything i did. But that just create a barrier to what one move is and that is not freedom. Now i don't have a name on what i'm doing and since i learned that i just move, I developed a own style and have so much more fun then argueing whatever its called freerun och parkour. But Parkour for me is the dicipline.

  • and freerunning is the tool for finding my movement. But i Don't considering PK and Freerunning as the name for what i do. If someone ask me what i'm doing i just answers "I move"

  • what did he steal ;)

  • Ive noticed that, Its like when David does flips and twist and back flips and handstands, everyone calls it Parkour. When Sebastien does the exact same thing. everyone hates on him and says its not Parkour, Its Freerunning.

    Just seems a little racist to me.

    I know the french army created it . But the two of these guys started "Modern Parkour" together. They grew up together. They own 50% of the name Parkour together, I'm pretty sure they borrowed from one another as they grew up together.

  • @Wardfolio But also the French army took this(parkour) from Afrikan culture they were colonizing. It's just like rock and roll or what these white folks trying to do to hip hop. After the white people take it then it's a "universal" Culture...just like dreads and all other black peoples' culture. Belle is more for the gimmicks(fad)...while Sebastien is on the practical more universal forms of Parkour. Racism = Power(political/economical) + Prejudice.

  • @Kigonja you're black aren't you ?

    hahaha jk

    I think the same lol

    this guy's awesome

    but i still think david's better :/

  • i want to learn this

  • Parkour for me is getting from point A to point B as fast as possible, and efficiently. Free running is just flashy urban gymanstics. I do parkour to move efficiently in my enviroment.

  • I don't know about that man.

    David Belle does more flashy urban gymnastics in his vids. He pushes himself hard but that's what makes his stuff fun to watch.

    Sebastien on the other hand takes it easy and doesn't like pushing his limits so much. He doesn't do a lot but what he does he does very smoothly and without a lot of strain.

    Sebastien can tear shit up when he wants to though. See his Casino Royal chase scene to know what I'm talking about.

  • i don't know, he looks freaking awesome, but david belle too... they are both true legends!

  • I'm not a freerunner I'm training Parkour and I think rank people is bullshit. Freerunning is move free move creative not do it spectacular!

  • @JRTparkour Free running is doing parkour spectacular........Parkour is moving quickly.....^^

  • hmm.. don't think so Parkour and 3running are different things! For Freerun is Important to move not how it's important to move yourself beeing creativ is also an important thing in freerun. You can't explain 3run with spectacular parkour because they are different sports! Parkour is efficient move from A to B straight forward with fast movements like normal Passment.

    Thats what I think about both :P

  • @JRTparkour Yeah thats the thruth...Kind of. Except they are not sports :P

  • @ironskippy haha yeah that's right ;D

  • raymond

  • no raymind belle did

  • Sebastian and David Belle Created free running

  • You can't really say David Belle created Parkour :P

    Sebastian Foucan created Freerun :P

    Both are different things^^

  • i would call both things a collaborative effort from both guys. But you're right, they are completely different

  • parkour/free running are not about who is best its about freedom of movement to seek your own path in life it self.

    SO STOP TRYING TO RANK PEOPLE!!!

  • i like david belle more

  • fuckin ledgend!

  • that guy is freaking cool

  • if you have problems with your knees jour training to much/hard . maybe you re doing junps wich are to high for you. in parkour it s very important to do harder things first when you are prfect in the used tech

  • im 15 and live for parkour, however betweeen practising this and basketball i have developed jumper's knee (patellar tendonitus) i have quit basketball in a hope that it will stop and bought knee supports and ice my knees regularly - for about a month so far. However the problem is still there, and i cant help the odd half hour of parkour every week. I want to join the Royal Marines when im older and want the problem to dissolve before this stage. Any advice - greatly appreciated

  • AlHenshaw:

    As hard as it is to do, NO PARKOUR (or any strenuous knee movement) until the pain is at absolute zero. From there, stretch and condition, and work very slowly back up. If it starts flaring up again, rest until the pain is gone again.

    Send me a PM and I'll get you a link to a more detailed explanation.

  • he's right

  • i think you can still do stuff that dont compromise your knees.. work on your balance, upper body strength, cat walk, handstands... u get me..

  • AlHenshaw , doctors could help...

  • yeah i bin a few months ago they said it was osgood schlatters, but i know its not. I am trying to get an appointment for next week :) thanks

  • its not anything different i have the same problem as i said earlier, just let time heal it, thats what i did and things have gotten better, personally i do not like the braces for the upper leg area, they just made it worse for myself.

  • oh shit! i have the same story, except i didn't quit basketball. Although i have developed Osgood Shlatter (however you spell it) i still play basketball, haven't practiced parkour in a while, however every now and then head up the red rocks. My solution was not to stop anything, over time my condition healed itself.

  • propanhawk noob sebastian foucan is a free runner. Learn the meaning of parkour and free running

  • Someone needs to tell me exactly what pants he's wearing in the beginning in the red shirt. He wears them all the time. He wore them in Jump Britain too. They look awesome and too comfortable to be true.

  • Best traceur in the wolrd!

  • i agree !!

  • Cyber high five! Pop!

  • ja das video ist cool ich liebe pakour  und foucan idt der beste

  • hallo erst ma ich bin ein rauhcer und hässli...

  • avoid jumping from great heights. And try not to smash your joints into hard objects. I too love parkour, but i find that it is not good for my arthritis.

  • i love parkour.

    i do it all the time. but i found out i can increase my cahnces of arthritis

    any words of advice?

  • It's crazy sport!!

  • Whats the song please?

  • parkour is my life :X

    when i'm sad i do parkour

    and after i'm happy

    i forget the problem who make me sad

  • drum and bass as well? good job be boy

  • @dnbmakemehappy Unless you break your back and then you have a new problem to add to your others.

  • the name of the song?

  • That was awesome!! But seriously, I have been asking around for a while now and I ask again here. Does anyone know of a traceur in New York, U.S? Iwant to train with one so I know I am doing the moves correctly and not trying any moves too soon. Thanks in advance. ^_^

  • LOL

  • many, many, manyyyy traceurs in NY. google and so.. im sure you will find some forum or somthing.

  • Yeah, but as far as I know there isn't any traceurs in or near Buffalo, NY. I will go and see though, thanks. ^^

  • ill!

  • quality sucks so baaddly

  • the mans got ups

  • it was pretty good, but had better visual effects rather than free running.

  • Natan,lemme give you one diffrence.

    free running = flips,flow

    no point be.just run whereever you like

    parkour is just a jump.

    to get from a point to b point

    no special effects

  • who cares what they mean as long as ur having fun doing it you can call it whatever you want.

  • free running as suggested in the name is getting from point A to point B within the quickest time possible using any rout possible so i have to say

    EPIC FAIL gabigg2

  • No... That would be Parkour. Free Running is very similar, however Free Running is more flashy. More tricks involved. Instead of just leaping down a staircase or vaulting a rail, you'll just flip over it.

    However, most people that actually practice Parkour or Free Running don't draw a distinct line. Move how you feel like moving. Do what you feel like doing. Be free, be able, and flow like water.

  • just shut up and free runn or something

  • frerrunning is the freestyle of parkour. just run and climb on what you want and flip where you want.

    parkour is getting somwhere as fast as posible without loss of any momentum ( or as little loss as posible) you can still flip in parkour but they usualy do it on big drops and such so they dont slow down. Theres still very little diference though. nowt worth arguing over anyways... david bells parkour and sebastian foucan is freerunning though he co founded parkour with david

  • You ripped that vid from my old account

  • ok guys correct me if im wrong because i wanna no if im right. Parkour is running to a targeted person or place. Getting from Point A to Point B as fast as possible. Freerunning is just the same except there is no point B. Hence the FREE in freerunning.

  • The fact that there's no point B in free running is not much of a difference, and it leads me to say THAT THEY'RE BOTH THE GOD DAMN SAME, AND STOP SAYING THAT THEY'RE NOT!!!

  • they're not

  • Name one more difference and you've convinced me

  • parkour is all about flow, without cutting down time with tricks, flips, etc. freerunning is all over the place, using tricks and things like that

    its not a big difference

  • yeah, he is rite there really different

  • parkour and freerunning varies from place to place. and to be honist theres no point trying to point out the real variations of it. my point on parkour is the A-B thing but its also . i also believe that when someone is training they should try setting a course so that it 1. helps the person get comftable with there soroundings .2 helps them imrovise when they realy need to use parkour for transport. freerunning is more about the freedom of movement (david belles expration) so anything goes.

  • There is a difference in Parkour and freerunning. Research it.

  • Mr Buffington, parkour and free running are to different things. Parkour is to get somewhere as fast as possible and free running is free flow running as you can see with his flips and what not

  • no............................­......

  • you are best top 1 in the world

  • damn man i saw this sebastian so impressive seem to me like this is all possible no doubt but who really do it this guy do and he famous hell yea i need to get like him really

  • I'm so going to hurt myself trying this today...

  • sebasatian really follows the philosophy, parkour is his life and to me thats why he is the best traceur x

  • i'm more of a david belle fan. there both amazing though i'm not going to lie about that.

  • Not a very good video--you simply couldn't see an appreciable view of the action.

  • ey dont put by the side to david belle he create this

  • lol, yeah but david belle would of never had made this if it wasnt for him and all the yamakasi

  • lol david belle is known for founding parkour and he's known for founding free running, although this video looks more like parkour than free running :)

  • parkour came before freerunning. you can't have freerunning before parkour.

  • sebastien foucan = best traceur of all time

  • sorry, but david belle is the actual founder of parkour, so what ever he does is the best parkour you can get

  • in my eyes sebastien is da best... im not speaking for everyone , just my mind

  • ok, thats alright then (we all have our favorites)

  • the only thing he invented was the name for it, ppl were doing similar things way before he was born...

  • yeah, its not like David belle invented jumping a fence or anything like that. He's just the first person to give it a name and a philosophy.

  • Yeah my point exactly, but David and Sebastien had different view/philosophy on ParKour so that is the reason they each went different route.

    I gotta say i tend to like Sebastien's idea a bit more though but they are both great at what they do :P

  • parts reminded me of a video game

  • sure its fun watching it... but why not actually getting off the computer and doing it. nothing can take the feeling of actually freerunning and doing parkour, get out and do it :)

  • Amen

  • The things that the human body can accomplish are nothing short of amazing... WOW I never get tired of watching parkour

  • song u mean right

  • what is the name of the sing?

  • so its not something special

  • i love this fucking song

  • of course we cant decide whether david belle or sebastian foucan is better.. coz they learned together from david belle's father.. raymond belle.. they both are legend!!

  • I think they're both awesome

  • People think Belle is better because he performs jumps that are more dangerous then the ones Foucan usually perfoms. But I think that when the cameras aren't watching, Foucan feels more free to do more dangerous jumps. He takes everything about free Running into more public consideration. He's even starting academies, and he spreads the philosophy that he attributes to it more than Belle does. Belle doesn't really inhance his foriegn language skills that much to teach the ideals it either.

  • why is everyone so interested in who is better Sebastian Foucan or David Belle !? I'm sure that if someone will ask Sebastian who is better between him and David even he can't decide because David is in every man or kid or everyone that practice parkour and Sebastian is a verry talented and gifted person just like David ... Between them I could never choose !!!

  • Traceurs!

    This is the best:

    watch?v=Q0XvxBM7hJI

  • the arguement abbout who is better between sebastien foucan and david is impossible to resolve, for they are both extremely skiilled and talented. and i dont think u could put one of them over the other.

  • i think i saw an angry chicken chasing him at 1:06 hmm...

  • you did, that part of the vid was from that nike commercial where he was trying to fool the chicken

  • who's better..

    sebastian foucan or david belle O.o??

  • in parkour it doesn't matter who is best cause there's no competition in parkour:P

  • u have a gd point

  • u have a gd point

  • dont start

  • dont start

  • none of them :D Nody-g and Cyril Raffaelly are the best...

  • Sure u can say who is best but it's just your opinion.. they all have their own style so I don't like to say who is best=) But that's my view:P

  • sebastien foucan..

  • what is the name of the song?

    is so good!!!

  • whats the song of this tell me plx

  • these guys r great so shut up !

  • Foucan and Bell invented something great!

    i do parkour by th way check out parkour to school and pasfini

  • no.....

  • To the guy who said Oljeg (the lead Dvinsk kid) has nothing on Foucan, you're a dumbass, who obviously knows little about PK/FR.

    Oljeg is one of the best in the world. I think the fact that his video, on hundreds of sites, has about 50 million views.

    Not that many people even know Foucan's name, even after Casino Royale.

  • sebastian foucan is easily one of the best in the world he even helped invent parkour/freerun

  • Not one. The.

  • niceee video

    parkour is true

  • Jesus, Foucan is awsome. He is the founder of Freerunning, and helped make parkour with longtime friend David Belle. I'm a go check his website out.

  • Sebastian is faster then David Belle, but david has better form and moves

  • 1.David Belle

    2.Sebastien Foucan

    3.?

  • Daniel Ilabaca

  • 2.Chase Armitage

  • i would say... the dude at the start of dvinsk clans 9 min parkour movie ... hes sweet

  • look up daniel ilabaca here on youtube, the best is from chrisilabaca channel. lemme know what u think of dvinsk clan then

  • How funny would he be going up yo the shops :P

  • whats the diference between free runing and parkour?someone tell me

  • parkour is all about the movement, getting from A to B where as freerunning is all about the showing off with all the flips and tricks not much deffrence but dats the way it is lol

  • Freerunning tries to be more aesthetic than parkour.

  • Small freak and does it with ease. I would break every bone in my body doing the freaky shit he does

  • he sucks david belle and dvins clan rule

  • dude ur fucking stupid he freaking created parkour and plus dvinsk clan doesnt have shit on this guy this is only one vid stupid shit

  • is if he created parkour.... it was more than 1 person .. and dvinsk clan do have shit on this guy there pritey good i neva seen this guy do half the shit they do

  • No one can tell a thing your saying darkwave. you just add alotta pronouns and shit in there a bunch and you've got a crappy comment!

  • What im trying to tell say you frikin retard is that he didnt create parkour all by himself.

    and you said Dvinsk clan dont have shit on this guy.

    Well they are pritey damn good and i have never seen this dude do half the shit they do ( flips ).

  • Sebastian foucan didn't invent parkour he invented free running which is parkour including flips etc.. so he can do them and he invented free running with yamakasi :)

  • SEbastian have always been my Idol! Always wanted to be as good as him! Love you Sebastian Foucan!

  • the guy is a fuckin ninja

    what i would do to get those skills

  • you could train for them

  • well david is the best

  • Your opinion. David is best in parkour and Sebastian is the best freerunning... Bottom line.

  • he is da best man dat is mence

  • LOL NIGAZZZZ!!!

  • hey please could you tell me te name of the song please comment on one of my videos saying the name of the song please

  • I've been lookin for months and no one ever knows the name of the song. =\

  • Its off either jump britain or jump london sound tracks.

  • parkour was invented by david belle with his father william belle and was used in the french millatery faucan did not play a part of this as he did not invent parkour.

  • he co-founded the sport itself

  • true but david belle played the part mostly with his father seb was later pluss he does dree running more than parkour because he enjoys it more.

  • william belle is his cousin and a actual yamakasi

  • yes i kno soz i miss typed him fathersname is ronald.

  • why don't you quit arguing about it... and do it!

  • Ill tell you how this started. Parkou was created when david belle, and sebastian went to africa and saw how the people there used their environment with atleticism, endurance, and intelligence. He studied this and parkour sprouted out of it. Go on wikipedia 2 see for urself.

  • okay belle is not the creator of parkour he just gave it a name.

  • Parkour was created it was given a name. No they didn't invent the entire concept of what is done but yes they gave this entire intangible movement a name. It has an official identity. They created it. Therefore they're accredited properly as inventors of a new "sport." A new to-do.

  • sebastian is spilt wrong... i think

  • nice moves

  • the orange is right.david has more tricks and he created parkour and all,and foucan is a free runner,i understand two different things.but still,foucan's moves are alot more complex.alot faster as well.i watched a vid of him climbin the golden gate bridge by himself.

  • no, david did not create parkour. David,Seb and the whole Yamakasi team co-created PK/Freerunning

  • neither of these men created parkour, parkour is not a tangible thing it is just a way of describing an approach to life or how you negotiate your environment. tis no different from anything jackie chan does, the only thing different is the motivation behind what you do.
