parkour jumperIf you've been featured in a James Bond movie and parodied on 'The Office,' are you still the cultural property of the internet? If you're parkour, then definitely.

Parkour (AKA "the art of moving") is a sport in which people traverse urban environments in innovative ways. It was one of the first subjects to break big on YouTube (consequently, it will always belong to the interwebs). I'm sure you've seen it before. And since you've seen it before, I'm equally sure that you're interested in checking out this brief list of the crème de la crème of parkour videos.

Just like in parkour itself, the goal here is short and sweet, so get ready to get your boxors roxored. As a bonus treat, I've also included a crazy-cool parkour paper animation. Enjoy!

Parkour #1

Holy crap, this stuff looks dangerous. Why are there no videos of people hurting themselves doing this? Great soundtrack, btw.


Parkour #2

This is a kick-ass clip from the kick-ass movie 'District 13.' If you haven't seen it, you should. It's like 'District 9' but with fewer allegories about racism and more jumping off of buildings.


Parkour #3

Cool moves, guys, but isn't the soundtrack a bit much?


Parkour #4

Parisian youth, don't you have any other activities to occupy your time? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that you're making these videos, I'm just also concerned.


Parkour #5

What?! Are you kidding me with this? He's not jumping off any crazy heights, but the world's most talented dude is doing this stuff while juggling?!


Parkour #6

Parkour isn't just for humans anymore.


BONUS: Parkour Animation

This is just breathtaking, and probably more difficult and time-intensive than actual parkour.
