Have you seen those movies where it looks like some guy is actually flying over an urban obstacle course and running and jumping up walls or jumping from a 3 story building and rolling over a car hood and then scaling up the side of a 18-wheeler? I just saw some in the movie 'Takers' yesterday. THAT is this 'art'. Of course I read that another name is 'Freerunning' if it is competitive and 'Pakour' if it is not. Not really sure why there would be a difference but maybe Buddist could explain it to us.
This issue that he is having with law enforcement reminds me of the tickets given back in the day for the skaterats performing their tricks on everyone's sidewalks and in the streets before the advent of 'skateparks'
