I saw a documentary on Parcour, or Free Running, a year or so ago and it featured the fellow from the Bond movie and some of the other "stars" of the sport and how it was growing in popularity all over the place of late.

Have to say it is a fascinating thing to watch - especially because of the element of danger inherent in it. I mean, c'mon - they are jumping off buildings, running up bridge supports and stuff - it's insane but really cool to watch.

I think we will see this turning into more of a "real" extreme sport than just an off-the-wall (literally!) hobby in the next few years and I really can't wait - it's like watching the birth of skateboarding or moto-cross.
