These two guys make fantastic use of the terrain in what looks like urban United Kingdom. Half of this parkour duo freeruns themselves into a hard spot by the end of the video. It’s a cautionary tale for you daredevils, and there is some mild profanity in the last seconds of the video as one of the parkour-ers realizes his predicament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve heard that some high-end units here in the US have been using parkour as a training tool. It makes sense since the sport is all about agility, total conservation of movement and reading terrain. We are curious if parkour is catching on. Do you or your team use the sport for training?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
