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 !

  4. Who’s he? He’s very good.

  5. that jump at the very end was just ridiculous.. and i mean that in a good way.

  6. 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!

  7. 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’.

  8. Remember that the speed we are seeing is faster than it really was because of the old filming method they were using back then. So he was not really that fast…
