(Lyrics NSFW) Parkour and freerunning athlete Gaëtan Bouillet collaborated with TocardProd Films to create this captivating short film highlighting the champion’s acrobatic skills. The fast tracking shots are really impressive.

Go for a stroll a jump, a sprint and a roll through Cambridge with this first person parkour video by James Kingston, aka the man who free climbed up a 315ft. high crane. We’d be clapping if we weren’t so dizzy.
