Anybody heard of this, it is truely brilliant.

Its where people (its a sport) run, jump, flip, twist and manouvre in some type of way through the city, using objects and landmarks to run, jump off etc, very pleasant to watch.

They use everything, walls, tall buildings, rails, pillars, stairs, structure, scaffolding, everything. Urban gymnastics, amazing!

Simply jumping off of things is now a sport?!?! It looks more like a bunch of half-assed suicide attempts.

Anyhow, I could have gone pro as a kid. I was always jumping off things and hurting myself. Which explains a lot of my drain bramage.

Its not simply jumping off things. Its learning how your body moves and how to accomplish things.

Its also twisting and turning. Im not saying its the best ever, but its nice to look at and watch, although yeh it would look a bit freaky doing it on your own ;)

Also Tony, the object is NOT to hurt yourself :roll:

They do go to classes to learn how to fall, grab and jump etc, but yeh i agree abit, they will undoubtedly hurt themselves, bit like Jackass, although thats more comedic... ;)

I would love for a new sport to be The Death Move. Everybody who partakes must do some sort of movement that will result in death. Jumping off tall buildings usually gets good grades, but simply shooting yourself results in a disqualification. Drowning depends on the amount of flailing. You know what they say, if you're going to die, you might as well die gracefully. Well, that's what I say, at least. And, this can get rid of any "extreme" sports "athletes", who think they can be idols. I can hear it now...

"Ah yes, he prepares himself for a long jump. Old Danny hails from Canada, a country that has yet to win a gold medal in this competition. He extends his arms, stretching a bit while he prepares. He is now running out onto the board, and he jumps! OH NO! He is flailing way too much. His head is heading straight for the concrete, and this will make for a terribly messy death. OHHH! Splat. Looks like his brains aren't the only thing to go splat, check out those horrendous scores. Better luck in your next life, Danny."
