Pre-historic Parkour video

old parkour video screenshots

old parkour video - a man jumping A really old and mysterious video of a man moving like actual Traceurs while parkour didn’t seem to exist yet at this time. I don’t know the date of the filming nor the name of the man on the video. He is maybe a firefighter or… what ? The fact is he has some particular capabilities and moves really fast and efficient. If you have any more details about this video or a better version of it, please let a comment ;-)

Edit : The video seems to come from a documentary film named “Gizmo!” (1977) directed by Howard Smith.

A compilation of man inventing strange contraptions from the 1920’s through 1950’s.

Thanks to Omary !

David Belle in a french TV report about Parkour This video is a funny deviation / parody of the “French parkour TV report on TF1 : émission 7 à 8 with David Belle and the Yamakasi“. David Belle and other Traceurs jump on Super Mario’s sounds. It’s a really funny parkour video which needs sound when playing !
