Parkour is gaining notoriety throughout London and the rest of the
world, with such blockbusters as James Bond, Casino Royale, helping
bring it the the masses.
One of the original free-running teams in London - Urban Freeflow,
invited The Active Channel along to one of their Sunday training camps at the
South Bank in London, just days before the Barclaycard World Freerun
Championship, staged at London's iconic Trafalgar Square on August 3rd.

Parkour is most often practiced outdoors, and is best described as "the
physical aspect of parkour is getting over all the obstacles in your
path as you would in an emergency. You want to move in such a way, with
any movement, as to help you gain the most ground on someone or
something, whether escaping from it or chasing toward it."

This idea embodying parkour's unofficial motto is tre et durer (to be and to last). Those who are skilled at this activity normally have an extremely keen spatial awareness.

All those seen in the exclusive program are trained professionals, and The Active Channel insists that you do not try any of this yourself.
