This looks like one wacky (and fun) sport! Called Parkour, it apparently started 10 years ago in France (go figure...
) and is a way to exercise while in an urban environment.
Check out this article from the Lean Plate Club (you may have to register to see it):

Has anyone tried this? It looks intriguing, though I don't think my environment is urban enough. Now, if they invent something that involves running through cornfields, climbing over horses and under cows (or maybe that should be the other way around?) and vaulting deer...then I could participate.
