This is the showreel of Damien Walters. I’m not sure what to call what it is he does. But he does it very well.

- You Can't Afford My Radical Life
I would call it Tumbling with Apparatus, soon to be an olympic sport.
I was thinking… UltraTumbling™. Or Spider-Manastics™.
I like a man who can take his clothes off in mid-air. 🙂
Yes, that pretty much swung it for me. And you never know when a skill like that is going to be needed.
Now THAT should be an Olympic event. 😀
Wow. He’s making the rest of us look really fucking lazy.
And he still has all his own teeth… I remove my hat and humbly declare myself to be an inferior form of life. Quite amazing.
It’s called Parkour.

Ah, thanks. I see there’s a whole Zen-urban-ninja-thing going on as well.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour#Philosophy_and_theories
So he’s doing a sort of hybrid of parkour, tumbling and what looks like… carjacking.
How did he get his trousers off? LOL
Okay, the guy’s strong and nimble . . . am I the only one who wonders about the tremendous pointlessness of all this?
It looks like he’s having a hell of a lot of fun. That’s a point.
“…am I the only one who wonders about the tremendous pointlessness of all this?”
It’s a showreel, so I’d guess our bouncy friend does this for a living, or hopes to. I suppose it’s “pointless” in the same sense that most leisure activities are pointless. Golf, for instance, or cricket, or music, or art. Or blogging. I don’t “get” cricket – I don’t get it at all – but I don’t think it’s “pointless.”
The stripping is funny and the bit with the street light is pretty impressive too.
> I don’t “get” cricket
I didn’t till I went to a “match”. Think “big pub in the sun”.
“…am I the only one who wonders about the tremendous pointlessness of all this?”
The point of it is of course to escape from the authorities, or other irate individuals after having committed a crime. Not that Mr. Walters has done, or would do anything like that. He’s probably doing it in hopes of earning money from Cirque de Soleil or somesuch.
Am I just too cynical or is this the sort of thing that everyone knows but would be boorish to mention at a party?
I’ll get your coat.
o.m.g.
i christen this “urban gymnastics”.
I know what he’s doing. He’s auditioning for movie stuntman/action figure, I’d hire him, remarkable moves.
Incredible.
The point, I believe, is pure awesomeness. It might be worth noting that the exciting foot chase at the beginning of Casino Royale…

…featured Sebastien Foucan, the early pioneer of parkour.

It’s already in games http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-assassins-creed/50811
The radiant cynicism of some people is utterly nauseating. If I had talent I’d spent so long honing to an inhumanly fine edge I’d share it too, if for no other “point” than showing off.
And, by God, so would you.
