Pre-historic Parkour video
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 !

Who’s he? He’s very good.
that jump at the very end was just ridiculous.. and i mean that in a good way.
WOW!
This guy didn’t even have trainers!!!
I’ve just stumbled into this stuff - I was looking for inspiration for some club wear designs and I came across a Parkour video on YouTube…
I really couldn’t believe my eyes at some of the things you can get up to!
Anyway, I’ll try and get some t-shirts suitable for the free movement that determines the grace and power of Parkour.
I’ve put up a blog about it too - I was that impressed!

Maybe I can get some constructive comments back?
Party on!
Er, newbie question - what’s the difference between the terms ‘Tracuer’ and ‘Parkour’?
I’m assuming not much, along the lines of ‘Plimsoles’, Running Shoes’ and ‘Trainers’.
