PARKOUR
My friend Patricia Relf's nephew Jack practices Parkour. Jackie Chan used to go over a high gate not by walking through, but by bouncing off the thresholds like a chamois goat or a cat crossed with a monkey. French kids in the outskirts of Paris have turned it into an art form, here reaching as far as Washington State.
It's beautiful.
Their own definition is better than Wikipedia's: "Practioners of Parkour (traceurs) strive to move through their environments with speed and agility by flowing over, under, or around obstacles in ways not intended by society."
