The art of movement
FREE-RUNNING OR PARKOUR HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS "THE ART OF MOVEMENT". ITS OBJECTIVE IS TO MOVE THROUGH CITIES IN ORIGINAL WAYS - CLIMBING, RUNNING AND JUMPING ACROSS THE URBAN LANDSCAPE. Experienced traceurs such as the sport's founders, David Belle and Sebastian Foucan, have extraordinary athletic skills and take risks that are just as incredible. For the BBC film Rush Hour David Belle leapt nine metres between buildings with no wire or safety net. Such dramatic stunts have helped bring parkour into the mainstream, as did the Luc Besson film Yamasaki named after Paris's first clan of traceurs. Belle and some of his associates were unhappy with Besson's film, which showed traceurs as criminals, and he and Foucan have since gone their separate ways. Foucan now promotes the sport, which is attracting new followers in cities around the world, under its alternative name of free-running.

It broadcasts 24-hour-a-day television and includes sound, which is unusual for a lot of the screens.
