We’re in 2012 now, so regular, old Parkour just won’t do anymore. If you want to go viral, you have to innovate, like Andrew Trials. He mixes the crazy jumps and intense heights of PK with BMX biking. The new video already has over 25,000 views.

Human parkour is soo 2005.
Thankfully, the University of Pennsylvani has been hard at work to create a true ‘parkour robot,’ called RHex.
Of course, the ‘bot was not made just to be featured in a viral video, but that didn’t stop the school from ‘teaching’ the new hi-tech dog-like robot tricks reminiscent of the extreme sport to impress the camera.
In this new video, RHex performs a slew of impressive jumps, flips, and other impressive maneuvers and is quickly going viral.

Tempest Freerunning Academy just opened and to promote the gym they developed this video. They are California’s first indoor training facility solely dedicated to parkour. They even have a Super Mario obstacle section. I guess Mario was the first guy to ever pull off parkour. Think about it, he bounced around blocks and jumped off mushrooms and turtles. Now it all makes sense.

This Canadian stunt skier shows off his amazing skills literally skiing through town. He jumps over driveways, and rides hand rails like he’s Tony Hawk, or something. Now this is what Parkour looks like in the wintertime. Awesome.
Thanks Dave for the proper video link!
