I don't understand Parkour. I know it's an athletic marvel and it takes a great deal of skill and strategy- but what's the point? I don't see a gain in it.
@lupischuckle Well today there isn't much use... it was however developed under ww2... some french guy had to run away from the SS or something, I can't remember exactly... but yeah, he developed Parkour as a means of transportation, because he can go over buildings, and cars can't :P It's just a hobby, though for some a lifestyle...
I for instance can say I don't see the point of many other sports... running around kicking a ball? ;) Same concept, it's something to pass time with
It's a method of getting through urban areas as fast and efficiently as possible. Freerunning has made it into more of a sport with the flips and unnecessary stunts mixed in, but pure, basic parkour is about getting around as fast as possible on foot.
@memohavok Born in Canada, raised in Switzerland- but thanks for asking. Why assume I'm American from a youtube comment? Seems like quite a leap to me.
surely you don't actually think these "races" are shot in one take and are real.....the car would crush anyone running, unless it was in a urban city and the goal was only a mile away.....I don't care what you think, but james said it was six miles for him, so probably about 4 miles for the free runners.....sprinting four miles on a good day would take 26 minutes for the fastest runners, let alone with obstacles in your way...there is not way 6 miles driving could take that long...it's a show
Check my page for a new low budget taster FreeRunning video, leave critism, advice or generall thoughts so we can take in account for are new progressing video! Thanks
And what I don't get is, if this is a race they can't do it in sections to place cameras and stuff, so how the hell so they get SO many different camera angles in a period of around 10 minutes?
@MythOfEchelon I would guess they did this thing 2 times, one real one and the other one they just placed the cameras right, then have them run and jump. the most logical thing if this isnt fake
Parkour is about getting from point A to point B as quickly as efficiently as possible. So I don't get why they do all the jumping over news stands and stuff. It's all for show.
This had to be completely fake, unless they hired a camera man who could keep up with Daniel Ilabaca whilst holding a camera? Yeah, no it was faked. Good idea though. Plus they definitely weren't already at the top of the building when James May got there, I like Top Gear but it's way too easy to see that they fake all their shows these days.
@ViennaShuffleZ That's simply not practical. For one, they'd need 100 cameras, and 100 men to man them around the city at one time, which Top Gear wouldn't have, the BBC would never give them the funding for something like that. For another thing, how do you think they got on top of the building in that amount of time? They didn't. I love Parkour and Illabaca, and Top Gear for that matter, but this was simply not done in one continuous shot.
I knew Captain Slow would have had a hard time of it, but I was really impressed by their actually posing atop the building to make sure he noticed them before driving off.
The review of the car (yes, I did take notice of that) was also very well done for the urban driver.
God knows Richard's stuff is on the excitement and Our Host's is sheer bloody power (on the scale of Tool Time), but for people driving in the real world? James May. (Don't even ask what the Stig's is all about!!)
@tranz2deep In addition, I should note that for the Parkour/Free Runner connoiseurs out there, the performances the men put on indicate one was more acrobatic than the other, so you can cheer over both variation having defeated James.
just so you know it they are not just doing pakour they are really good at doing pakour. it's harder than it looks (i know what i talking about i make pakour myself)
I dont get it....How come when people are old they kidad want you to STOP doing that....but when they were young they would wanna do that.Wtf happen to them.
I just want everyone to know, that Lexus has a crash test dumbie with 2,000,000 data points.

@MilitantBlackGuy1
don't you think that they put cameras everywhere the parkour runners told them they would be running?
even parkour pros plan their routes and practise a lot, so why wouldn't they know the best way from A to B in (for example) Liverpool?
I don't belive that it's faked, i trust top gear too much for that :)
but please believe whatever you want to belive, we are all sitting/standing in the same boat, so i am glad that not everybody is on my side :P
