wikipedia: "Parkour is an activity with the aim of moving from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body. It is meant to help one overcome obstacles, which can be anything in the surrounding environment — from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls"

wikipedia: "As martial arts are a form of training for the fight, parkour is a form of training for the flight."

I've seen shaolin monks do the same. Jackie Chan has executed some of these moves in his movies too.

Parry, it's still cool to watch, even if it's been done before!

The backflips and handsprings are for show and not part of the spirit of parkour laid out by the founder, David Belle. There is a branch of the sport called freerunning, led by Sebastian Foucan, which include the more showy flips and stuff. Those of you who live in the NYC area can attend Sunday parkour training sessions at STREB in Williamsburg. It's a blast!
